Senior DFT Designer

Job Summary Seeking an experienced Senior DFT Designer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge mixed-signal and digital integrated circuits. This role involves responsibility for designing, implementing, and verifying DFT architectures for complex SoCs working closely with RTL, physical design, verification, product and test teams to ensure robust testability and high-quality silicon. Job Responsibilities Lead and execute the full DFT design flow, including specification definition, architectural design, RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), verification. Develop and integrate scan insertion, test compression, and ATPG patterns. Implement memory BIST strategies. Collaborate closely with digital, analog, mixed-signal, product, test and software teams. Collaborate with RTL and physical design teams for DFT insertion and timing closure. Develop and implement innovative DFT architectures and design methodologies to meet challenging performance, power, area and quality targets. Optimize test coverage, pattern count and test time. Perform comprehensive DFT verification at RTL and gate level. Work with ATE teams for test program development and silicon bring-up. Participate in post-silicon validation and debug activities, identifying and resolving issues to ensure product quality. Mentor junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and contribute to continuous improvement of DFT design processes and methodologies. Generate detailed design documentation, including specifications, test plans, and design reviews. Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in digital IC design. Requirements Bachelor or master degree in microelectronics, ECE or related Strong expertise in DFT methodologies: Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG. Hands-on experience with industry standard ATPG tools. Proficiency in UPF/CPF-based low-power DFT. Knowledge of fault models (stuck-at, transition, path delay). Familiarity with physical design constraints for DFT. Experience in silicon debug and ATE bring-up Knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL Strong commitment to schedule and quality, a good team player More information about NXP in India... #LI-9415
