Introduction

GlobalFoundries is seeking a Senior Principal SoC Design-for-Test Engineer to serve as a senior technical authority for complex custom SoC designs. The successful candidate will define DFT strategy and architecture, solve critical problems of exceptional complexity, drive scalable innovation across programs, and influence cross-functional technical direction from concept through high-volume manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Define DFT strategy, architecture, methodology, and signoff criteria for complex SoCs and multiple interdependent technical areas.
  • Lead high-impact DFT initiatives spanning planning, risk management, execution, manufacturing readiness, silicon quality, and test cost.
  • Architect scalable solutions for scan and ATPG, compression, memory test and repair, logic BIST, test access, boundary scan, IJTAG, and mixed-signal test.
  • Establish readiness and signoff frameworks, close critical risks, and provide evidence-based recommendations to engineering and program leadership.
  • Solve critical DFT problems of exceptional complexity and establish reusable approaches across products and teams.
  • Lead cross-functional resolution of issues involving architecture, RTL, DV, PD, firmware, product engineering, manufacturing test, and post-silicon teams.
  • Drive DFT innovation, automation, and technical tradeoffs while mentoring senior engineers and influencing customers, partners, and senior stakeholders.

Other Responsibilities

  • Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs

Required Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 10+ years of relevant experience; or bachelor’s degree with 15+ years of relevant experience.
  • Exceptional mastery of SoC DFT and demonstrated recognition as a senior technical authority across programs or technical areas.
  • Expert-level experience with scan and ATPG, compression, memory test and repair, test clocking and access, boundary scan, and hierarchical DFT.
  • Experience defining DFT implementation, verification, readiness, and signoff criteria across IP, subsystem, partition, and SoC levels.
  • Experience across the silicon lifecycle, including architecture, RTL integration, physical implementation, pattern generation, tapeout, silicon bring-up, and high-volume manufacturing.
  • Deep understanding of fault models, test coverage, diagnosis, outgoing quality, test time, manufacturing risk, and test cost.
  • Experience with major DFT EDA toolchains (prefer SNPS) and automation using Python, Tcl, Perl, Shell, or equivalent languages.
  • Demonstrated ability to solve exceptionally complex problems, lead across organizational boundaries, influence senior stakeholders, and communicate technical and business tradeoffs.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with advanced DFT methodologies such as hierarchical ATPG, streaming scan, logic BIST, scan diagnosis, cell-aware test, or lifecycle test.
  • Experience with memory repair, NVM test, eFuse, IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan, IEEE 1687 IJTAG.
  • Experience with low-power, tester-correlation, silicon-debug, and high-reliability DFT requirements.
  • Track record of developing reusable DFT architectures, automation, reference flows, and signoff methodologies across multiple SoC programs.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
