-Develop and integrate scan insertion, test compression, and ATPG patterns.
-Implement memory BIST and logic BIST strategies.
-Collaborate with RTL and physical design teams for DFT insertion and timing closure.
-Perform DFT verification at RTL and gate-level simulations.
-Work with ATE teams for test program development and silicon bring-up.
-Optimize test coverage, pattern count, and test time.
Required Skills
-Strong expertise in DFT methodologies: Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG.
-Hands-on experience with industry standard ATPG tools.
-Proficiency in UPF/CPF-based low-power DFT.
-Knowledge of fault models (stuck-at, transition, path delay).
-Familiarity with physical design constraints for DFT.
-Experience in silicon debug and ATE bring-up.
Preferred Qualifications
- Pas experience with SoC level DFT
-Exposure to high-speed interfaces and DFT for mixed-signal blocks.
-Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
Education
-Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
