Senior DFT Engineer – Join a World-Class ASIC Design Team in Cambridge!

Are you a seasoned DFT Engineer with a drive for innovation and a passion for silicon design? This is a rare opportunity to join a cutting-edge ASIC team based in Cambridge, renowned for its pioneering work and collaborative approach to product development.

As a Senior DFT Engineer, you will work on state-of-the-art ASIC projects, influencing the full design lifecycle while advancing your technical and leadership skills in a dynamic and forward-thinking environment.

Role Overview

In this role, you'll take the lead in developing and implementing Design-for-Test (DFT) strategies across a wide range of silicon technologies. You’ll work alongside cross-functional teams, playing a key role in ensuring that designs are not only functional but thoroughly testable, production-ready, and robust.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive the development and execution of DFT architectures, methodologies, and verification strategies.
• Implement hierarchical DFT, scan insertion, and ATPG compression techniques.
• Create and maintain STA DFT constraints and guide synthesis efforts for optimal test coverage.
• Collaborate closely with RTL design, IP integration, FPGA development, and physical design teams.
• Set up and run test pattern generation (ATPG) and debug simulation environments.
• Work with advanced EDA tools for simulation (both behavioral and gate-level) and BIST integration.

Skills:

• Strong industry experience in DFT architecture, implementation, and verification within ASIC or SoC development flows.
• Hands-on expertise in scan stitching, ATPG, boundary scan, on-chip clocking, and DFT partitioning.
• Proficient in using modern DFT tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, or Mentor platforms).
• Solid understanding of RTL design, STA, and silicon test methodologies.
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and excellent collaboration skills.
