DFT Engineer

- BSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in RTL design using Verilog/System Verilog
- Experience with DFT design and implementation (MBIST, JTAG/IEEE 1149.1, memory repair flows) and familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys DFT Compiler and Tessent
- Experience with chip design flows and gate-level simulations
- Verification background including UVM testbenches, coverage-driven verification, FPGA, and emulator environments, with advanced scripting skills in Perl, Tcl, and/or Python
- End-to-end chip development experience- from RTL design through synthesis, timing analysis, and physical design constraints to post-silicon validation, production, and memory fault debugging
