  • 4+ years of hands-on DFT experience on SoCs, including ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, and scan-based testing. 

  • Proficiency with EDA tools such as Synopsys TestMAX, Cadence Modus, or Mentor Tessent for DFT insertion and pattern generation. 

  • Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) for flow automation and data analysis. 

  • Familiarity with optimizing test time, fault coverage, and ATPG patterns. 

  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail for debugging complex test failures. 

  • Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience with automotive ASIL flows or high-volume manufacturing test challenges. 

  • Proactive contributor to process improvements and tool evaluations.
