Required Qualifications
5+ years of hands-on experience in Design for Test (DFT).

• Strong expertise in Scan, Scan Compression, MBIST, LBIST, ATPG, and JTAG technologies.
• Solid understanding of IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1500, and IEEE 1687 (IJTAG) standards.
• Experience with one or more industry-standard DFT tools:
  • Synopsys TestMAX / DFT Compiler
  • Siemens Tessent
  • Cadence Modus
• Proficiency in Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.
• Scripting experience using Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with ASIC/SoC development.
• Background in silicon bring-up, debug, and production test.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional engineering teams.

If you’re passionate about developing robust DFT solutions for advanced semiconductor products, we’d love to hear from you.
