5-10 years’ experience – Mid- Senior level

You must have prior experience at a Semiconductor company to be considered.

I am seeking a DFT Engineer to join a UK-headquartered fabless semiconductor company specializing in custom ASIC design and supply services. Known for working across a broad range of sectors — including automotive, industrial, healthcare, communications, and consumer electronics — the company provides both turnkey ASIC development and IP licensing, including processor subsystems and signal processing solutions.

You will have a strong academic record and 5-10 years’ experience in Design for Test (DFT) within digital ASIC/SoC development.

Responsibilities

• Take full-flow ownership of all DFT, BIST, and test-pattern generation for complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs on an as-needed basis to meet customer project requirements.
• Setup, run, and maintain EDA tool flows relating to DFT, BIST, and test pattern generation.
• Work closely alongside the wider Front-end and Back-end teams to implement and verify DFT at all stages in the development flow.
• Take responsibility for setting and meeting customers fault-coverage expectations and requirements.
• Generate test specification documentation, as required, for delivery to sub-contractors providing test services.

Skillset

• 5-10 years’ experience in industry with a strong track record in DFT gained across several successful ASIC projects.
• Specific skills in DFT implementation:
• Specification at the architecture level
• Implementation using tool-based and hand-crafted methods
• Integration of IP including CPU’s, Analog Macros, and IO PHYs
• BIST and memory repair integration
• Coverage analysis and improvement to meet targets
• ATPG, as well as manual and semi-automatic TPG, including simulation-based methods.
• Implementation of at-speed test methodologies
• DFT for power-managed designs
• Generation of STA and scenario/mode constraints
• Good knowledge of a full EDA vendor DFT tool suite.
• Working knowledge of the complete SoC design flow and associated tools and methodologies to deliver working silicon.
• Experience of RTL and gate-level simulations and related debugging.

This role can be based in one of several UK locations and visa sponsorship can be provided.
