THE ROLE
As part of the SoC (System-on-Chip) Design-for-Test (DFT) team, you will be responsible for implementing, verifying, optimizing, and deploying advanced DFT solutions across next-generation products. You will work closely with architecture, design, verification, physical design, and product engineering teams to ensure high-quality scan insertion and ATPG execution for complex SoCs.
This role offers the opportunity to drive test architecture, improve manufacturability and test quality, support silicon bring-up activities, and contribute to scalable DFT methodologies across a range of products.
THE PERSON
You are a motivated engineer with a strong understanding of DFT fundamentals and ASIC design flows. You enjoy solving complex technical challenges, applying strong analytical and debugging skills, and working collaboratively across multiple engineering disciplines. You communicate effectively, take ownership of problems, and maintain a strong focus on quality, coverage, and manufacturability.
