DFT Engineer - ASIC Test & Validation

The Boeing Company; El Segundo (CA); On-site; USD 99,000 - 198,000; Full time

Job summary

The Boeing Company is seeking Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineers — ASIC Backend to join Boeing Electronic Products in El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA. The role designs and validates DFT architectures for advanced digital subsystems in aerospace.

You will work onsite, progressing from junior to principal levels, with responsibilities spanning TAP/JTAG, IJTAG, boundary scan, MBIST, ATPG, and silicon debug, plus collaboration across teams and external partners.

Qualifications

• US Citizenship is required to obtain a U.S. security clearance.
• BS in Engineering or related field (Electrical/Computer) or non-US equivalent.
• 2+ years of Design for Testability (DFT) experience.
• Strong knowledge of ASIC/logic design flow, HDL (Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Hands-on with TAP/JTAG, IJTAG, Boundary Scan, MBIST, ATPG, at-speed test, silicon debugging.
• Proficient in Tcl/Perl/Python scripting and DFT verification methodologies.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement DFT architectures: TAP/JTAG, IJTAG (IEEE 1687), Boundary Scan (BSCAN), MBIST, and scan compression.
• Develop and validate TAP/JTAG and IJTAG infrastructures, BSDL/ICL/PDL artifacts, and ATPG pattern generation.
• Drive pattern generation, coverage optimization, memory test validation, and silicon debug (scan, at-speed, bring-up).
• Integrate DFT features across the chip design flow and collaborate with cross-functional teams for robust DFT integration.
• Coordinate with external partners/customers on DFT interfaces and security requirements.
• Contribute to development and deployment of DFT methodologies for next-generation products.
• Occasional travel and after-hours meetings during critical milestones.
