Jobcon Logo Job Description :

DFT / DFX Engineer
Santa Clara, CA
6+ months

Experience :- 6 to 8 yrs

We are looking for a highly motivated DFX Engineer to develop, implement, verify, and validate advanced Design-for-Test (DFT/DFX) solutions for complex SoCs and ASICs. The candidate will work closely with Architecture, Design, Verification, Physical Design, and Post-Silicon teams to ensure robust manufacturability, testability, and silicon quality.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create and execute test plans for DFX features including Scan, MBIST, SSN, EDT, IJTAG, and JTAG.
  • Verify DFX implementations at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
  • Develop SystemVerilog/UVM based verification environments and test benches.
  • Debug regression failures and identify root causes related to design or verification.
  • Generate and validate Scan/ATPG patterns for production testing.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design, Architecture, Physical Design, Validation, and ATE teams.
  • Automate DFX flows using scripting languages and improve overall test methodologies.
  • Contribute to DFX architecture planning and implementation for next-generation SoCs.

Required Technical Skills

  • DFX / DFT
  • Scan Insertion & Compression
  • ATPG Pattern Generation & Debug
  • MBIST / LBIST
  • JTAG, IEEE 1500, IEEE 1687 (IJTAG)
  • SSN (Streaming Scan Network)

EDA Tools
