• Architect innovative DFT techniques for advanced process nodes.

Test Pattern Development & Validation

• Generate ATPG patterns for stuck-at, transition, and path delay faults
• Debug test pattern issues during silicon bring-up
• Ensure highest stability and coverage of test patterns on ATE (Automatic Test Equipment).

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with RTL design, verification, physical implementation, and test engineering teams
• Support silicon characterization and yield improvement activities
• Contribute to overall microcontroller or SoC DFT methodology
• Bachelor's/master's in electrical engineering, Microelectronics, or related field

Requirements

• Typically, 5-8 years in DFT for complex SoCs/ASICs
• Experienced in Scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, boundary scan, JTAG
• Debugging silicon test issues and yield analysis
• Experience in Scripting/ programming using Python, Perl, TCL
