Senior DFT Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Ukraine.

📋 Description

• Take full responsibility for Design-for-Test (DFT) on customer System-on-Chips (SoCs) from start to finish.

• Develop and execute DFT architecture.

• Execute scan and Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) implementations.

• Implement memory Built-In Self-Test (BIST) and boundary scan techniques.

• Validate testing patterns effectively.

• Carry out DFT Design Rule Check (DRC) analysis and coverage debugging.

• Prepare and conduct gate-level simulations.

• Perform formal equivalence checking procedures.

• Automate DFT processes through scripting.

• Assist with the transition of production testing.

• Engage with customer SoCs for both ASIC and Customer-Owned Tooling (COT) design, as well as turnkey manufacturing services.

• Contribute throughout the entire product lifecycle, from architecture and RTL-to-GDSII implementation to silicon, packaging, and testing.

⛳️ Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution.

• At least 3 years of practical DFT experience is essential; preference is given to senior-level candidates.

• Proficient in scan, ATPG, at-speed testing, memory BIST, and I/O DFT methodologies.

• Experience with scan insertion and ATPG for various fault models, including stuck-at, transition-delay, bridging, and IDDQ; focus on test coverage enhancement.

• Familiarity with DFT DRC analysis and coverage debugging utilizing Synopsys DFT Compiler, TestMAX (TetraMAX), SpyGlass DFT, or comparable Siemens (Mentor) Tessent tools.

• Knowledge of Tessent MBIST.

• Strong understanding of JTAG standards IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1149.6, and IEEE 1500 (formerly P1500).

• Practical experience in designing and implementing DFT features.

• Ownership of the complete DFT flow from conception to tape-out and into production.

• Setup and execution of gate-level simulations for pattern validation.

• Conduct formal equivalence checking.

• Proficient in Perl, Tcl, and UNIX scripting for process automation.

• Broader experience with Siemens Tessent tools (ScanPro / TestKompress, LBIST) beyond MBIST is preferred.

• Experience with advanced-node technologies (7nm and below) is advantageous.

• Familiarity with Python for flow automation is preferred.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.

• Work within a dynamic and collaborative team environment.

• Access to cutting-edge technology and innovative projects.
