At a glance
As a Senior ASIC DFT Engineer at Silicon Engineering, you will be part of a dynamic team responsible for implementing and optimizing Design for Test (DFT) architectures on complex SoCs or ASICs. Your daily tasks include scan insertion, compression/decompression logic, memory BIST, and logic BIST using Siemens Tessent tools, as well as setting up ATPG methodologies and debugging non-timing gate-level simulations. You will also develop test scripts and automate processes with languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, or C++. The role requires extensive experience in post-silicon bringup, ATE platforms, and collaboration across design, verification, and manufacturing teams to ensure DFT features meet production requirements. Knowledge of industry standards such as IEEE 1500 and 1687 is essential, along with expertise in low-power DFT techniques and cell-aware fault models.
