• Perform ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation) and analyze test coverage
• Implement and optimize test compression techniques to improve efficiency
• Debug test failures during pre-silicon and post-silicon stages
• Support silicon bring-up and validation activities

Work closely with:

• Verification teams for DFT validation
• Physical Design (backend) teams for DFT implementation and closure
• Ensure compliance with DFT methodologies and quality standards
• Analyze and resolve coverage gaps and testability issues
• Support production test readiness and yield improvement

Education:

Bachelors or Masters degree in in

Electronics / Electrical / VLSI Engineering.

Experience:

• Experience in DFT / VLSI design.
• Hands-on experience in SoC/ASIC DFT implementation.
• Exposure to full-chip or block-level DFT flows.
• Experience with advanced nodes is a plus.
• Exposure to silicon bring-up and post- silicon validation

Technical Skills:

Strong experience with:

• Synopsys DFT Compiler
• Mentor/Tessent (Siemens Tessent)

Expertise in:

• Scan architecture and insertion
• ATPG and fault modeling
• Test compression techniques
• Boundary scan (JTAG) implementation

Good understanding of:

• Digital design fundamentals
• Timing and physical design constraints related to DFT
• Familiarity with scripting (Tcl/Python) is an added advantage
