Owns end-to-end Design-for-Test activities for customer SoCs, including DFT architecture, scan insertion, ATPG, memory BIST, boundary scan, pattern validation, coverage improvement, DRC debug, gate-level simulation, equivalence checking, and production test handoff. Automates DFT flows using Perl, Tcl, UNIX, and optionally Python while supporting projects from concept through tape-out and manufacturing.
Description
We are hiring a Senior DFT Engineer in Europe to own Design-for-Test on customer SoCs end-to-end: DFT architecture, scan/ATPG, memory BIST, boundary scan, pattern validation and production test hand-off.
The company provides end-to-end ASIC and COT design and turnkey manufacturing services to fabless companies and OEMs building advanced SoCs. Its offering covers architecture, RTL-to-GDSII implementation, analog/mixed-signal design, and productization through silicon, package, and test. Working across process nodes from 180nm to 2nm, it has completed over 350 tape-outs since 1986
RequirementsMust-Have Requirements:
- BSc in Electrical Engineering from a recognized university.
- Minimum 3 years of hands-on DFT experience — must. Senior-level profiles preferred.
- DFT methodologies: scan, ATPG, at-speed test, memory BIST, I/O DFT.
- Scan insertion and ATPG for stuck-at, transition-delay, bridging and IDDQ fault models; test-coverage improvement.
- DFT DRC analysis and coverage debug with Synopsys DFT Compiler / TestMAX (TetraMAX) / SpyGlass DFT or equivalent Siemens (Mentor) Tessent tools.
- Memory BIST — Tessent MBIST.
- Strong knowledge of JTAG IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1149.6 and IEEE 1500 (formerly P1500).
- Hands-on design and implementation of DFT features.
- End-to-end DFT flow ownership: concept → tape-out → production.
- Gate-level simulation setup and runs (pattern validation).
- Formal equivalence checking.
- Perl / Tcl / UNIX scripting for flow automation.
Nice to Have
- Broader Siemens Tessent experience (ScanPro / TestKompress, LBIST) beyond MBIST.
- Advanced-node experience (7nm and below).
- Python for flow automation.
