The posting

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Salary range: Rs 1500000 - Rs 8000000 (ie INR 15 - 80 LPA)

Min Experience: 5+ years

Location: Bengaluru, Telangana, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Karnataka JobType: full-time

We are seeking an experienced DFT Engineer with 5–20 years of industry experience to drive the design-for-test strategy and implementation for complex ASIC/SoC designs. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on expertise in ATPG and Scan, with a solid understanding of test architecture, fault coverage, test pattern generation, and DFT verification.

You will work closely with RTL, Physical Design, Verification, and Product Engineering teams to develop robust, production-ready test solutions while ensuring high test coverage, quality, and manufacturability.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and implement DFT architectures for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
  • Develop and integrate Scan-based DFT structures across blocks and top-level designs.
  • Develop, run, and debug ATPG flows for stuck-at, transition, and other relevant fault models.
  • Analyze ATPG coverage, fault reports, pattern quality, and test compression results.
  • Debug ATPG failures and identify design, constraint, or test-logic issues.
  • Work with RTL and design teams to resolve DFT-related implementation and verification issues.
  • Perform DFT rule checks and ensure test structures meet project requirements.
  • Support scan insertion, scan-chain verification, chain balancing, and scan connectivity checks.
  • Collaborate with physical design teams to ensure DFT structures are physically implementable and timing-aware.
  • Support DFT verification from block level through full-chip integration.
  • Develop and maintain DFT methodologies, scripts, and automation to improve design and test efficiency.
  • Participate in test architecture reviews and contribute to improving test coverage, quality, and overall silicon readiness.
  • Support post-silicon debug and analysis of test-related issues when required.

Must-Have Skills

  • 5–20 years of hands-on experience in DFT/ASIC design and test engineering.
  • Strong expertise in ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation).
  • Extensive experience with Scan architecture and Scan insertion.
  • Strong understanding of scan chains, scan compression, test modes, and test coverage.
  • Experience debugging ATPG patterns, coverage issues, and DFT rule violations.
  • Good understanding of ASIC/SoC design flows and DFT implementation methodologies.
  • Experience working with RTL, synthesis, verification, and physical design teams.
  • Strong scripting/automation skills using languages such as Tcl, Python, or Perl.

Good-to-Have Skills

  • Experience with SSN (Serial Scan Network) and related test architectures.
  • Knowledge of PDL (Procedure Description Language) and IEEE 1687/IJTAG concepts.
  • Experience with DRC (Design Rule Checks) for DFT/test structures.
  • Exposure to memory BIST, logic BIST, boundary scan, test compression, and IEEE 1149.x standards.
  • Experience with industry-standard DFT/ATPG tools and methodologies.
  • Understanding of timing, power, and physical-design considerations for scan and ATPG.
  • Experience with advanced SoC designs and hierarchical DFT implementation.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a technically strong DFT professional who can independently own DFT activities, troubleshoot complex test challenges, and collaborate effectively across multiple engineering teams. Strong analytical, debugging, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential for success in this role.

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.
