DFT Engineer

Quest Global • San Jose, CA

7d • $160,000 - $220,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Quest Global is seeking a highly experienced Design for Test (DFT) Engineer to contribute to the development of complex SoC/ASIC designs. The role focuses on DFT planning, integration, testing methodologies, and continuous improvement of DFT flows across chip-level and block-level implementations. This is an on-site position located in San Jose, San Diego, or Irvine, California, and requires commuting to the work location using personal transportation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of experience, or a Master’s degree with 9+ years of experience.
• Extensive hands-on experience in DFT for ASIC/SoC designs.
• Strong expertise in chip-level DFT planning and integration.
• Deep knowledge of LBIST (at-speed scan), ATPG, MBIST, and JTAG.
• Experience with test-time reduction methodologies.
• Solid understanding of low-power DFT and fault modeling, including stuck-at, transition, path delay, and IDDQ.
• Experience with silicon failure analysis and debugging.
• Strong knowledge of static timing analysis (STA).
• Experience with DFT simulations, including timing considerations.
• Familiarity with ASIC/SoC design flows, including low-power and multi-power-domain designs.
• Experience working with Mentor DFT tools or similar EDA tools.
• Must be able to commute to and from the work location using personal transportation arrangements.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement top-level and block-level DFT plans and integrations.
• Use Tessent tool flow across DFT processes.
• Generate ATPG and support ATE interface integration.
• Support ATE bring-up and conduct silicon failure analysis and debugging.
• Analyze and reduce test time while maintaining high quality standards.
• Execute synthesis, STA, and simulation for DFT modes.
• Perform formal verification and ensure design correctness.
• Implement and manage multi-power-domain DFT strategies.
• Troubleshoot complex DFT issues and drive continuous DFT flow improvements.
