Senior DFT Engineer: Scan/ATPG & Post-Silicon Debug

Mirafra Technologies; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Mirafra Technologies is seeking an experienced DFT engineer with 8-15 years of hands-on experience in scan, ATPG, and JTAG for complex SoCs. You will debug, optimize and validate DFT flows across block and chip levels, using Verilog RTL and industry tools like VCS and Verdi.

The role requires proficiency in Synopsys DFT tools (Testmax, Tetramax, DC, FC) and scripting (Python, TCL). Strong problem solving and self-motivation are essential.

Qualifications

• B.Tech / M.Tech with 8-15 years of experience in DFT.
• Strong knowledge of DFT architecture, methodologies and structural debug concepts: JTAG.
• Experience in handling DFT of large multi multimillion gate multi clock domain SoCs.
• Hands-on experience in SCAN, ATPG and JTAG implementation at block and chip level.
• Knowledge of Verilog RTL and hands-on experience in using simulators and waveform debugging tools such as VCS and Verdi.
• Hands on experience in using Synopsys DFT tools like Testmax, Tetramax, DC & FC.
• Experience in post silicon debug.
• Knowledge of Python, Shell scripting, Makefiles, TCL.
• Excellent problem solving skills and highly self-motivated.

Responsibilities

• -Execute Scan insertion, Scan DRC check and debug. review DRC reports, debug and resolve
• -Tmax pattern generation, Optimize ATPG patterns and improve Fault coverage, check and debug ATPG DRCs
