Staff dft engineer

Job Description
We are seeking a Staff DFT Engineer to own and drive the complete DFT strategy for complex So Cs from architecture through production silicon. The role requires deep hands-on expertise, strong technical judgment, and the ability to lead and mentor engineers while collaborating closely with design, PD, validation, and manufacturing teams.
The ideal candidate operates independently, makes architecture-level decisions, and is accountable for test quality, coverage, and silicon readiness.
Responsibilities
Define chip/subsystem DFT architecture: scan, compression, LBIST, MBIST, boundary scan, test access
Drive early RTL testability and balance coverage, test time, power, area, schedule trade-offs
Lead scan insertion, stitching, DFT DRC closure
Execute ATPG (stuck-at, transition, path delay), compression, pattern optimization
Own DFT signoff (coverage, IR drop, power, timing impacts)
Debug DFT issues across RTL, synthesis, P&R, and gate-level
