Job Description

Senior DFT Engineer leading end-to-end DFT strategy for complex SoCs at Niobium Microsystems. Overseeing architecture, integration, and validation processes within the team.

Responsibilities:

  • Own and drive end-to-end DFT strategy for complex SoCs, from architecture through silicon bring-up
  • Serve as DFT lead for major subsystems or full-chip execution
  • Define and implement DFT architecture including scan, compression, and MBIS
  • Establish DFT insertion strategies at RTL and/or netlist stages
  • Drive scan chain stitching, compression insertion, and clock/reset domain handling
  • Collaborate with physical design to meet timing, routing, and signoff requirements
  • Execute ATPG and fault simulation to achieve high fault coverage targets
  • Develop and validate test patterns for scan, BIST, and low-power modes
  • Track and drive DFT sign off criteria including coverage, waivers, and escape analysis
  • Partner with test engineering to translate patterns to ATE platforms
  • Support silicon bring-up, debug failing patterns, and perform yield analysis
  • Conduct shmoo analysis and root-cause failures
  • Drive DFT methodology improvements, automation, and flow optimization
  • Develop scripts and infrastructure for scalable DFT flows
  • Represent DFT in cross-functional reviews and program milestones

Requirements:

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 8+ years of hands-on DFT experience in ASIC or SoC design
  • Strong expertise in scan architecture, ATPG, compression techniques, and MBIST
  • Experience driving DFT from RTL through GDSII, including physical design collaboration
  • Hands-on experience with ATE bring-up and post-silicon debug
  • Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python) for automation and flow development

Benefits:

  • Competitive salaries
  • Employer paid health care
  • Employer contribution to health savings account
  • Flexible time off
  • Flexible work location with remote options
