Company

hirify.global provides rack-scale AI infrastructure through semiconductor-based connectivity solutions and its COSMOS software suite, integrating CXL, Ethernet, NVLink, PCIe, and UALink technologies.

What you will do

• Define and own DFT architecture for complex SoCs, including Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG/iJTAG, and ATPG strategies.
• Lead DFT planning, specification, implementation, integration, verification, quality tracking, and sign-off across block, full-chip, and chiplet levels.
• Drive end-to-end DFT activities from specification through tapeout, silicon bring-up, and production support.
• Develop scalable DFT methodologies, flows, and automation frameworks to improve test quality, PPA, and turnaround time.
• Collaborate with RTL, Physical Design, STA, and Test Engineering teams on DFT readiness, timing implications, and integration challenges.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field; a Master’s degree is preferred.
• 12+ years of experience in DFT design, implementation, and verification for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
• Experience leading DFT activities across full-chip development cycles.
• Deep expertise in Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG/iJTAG, and ATPG.
• Strong understanding of DFT and Physical Design flows, including timing implications and integration challenges.
• Experience with industry-standard DFT tools such as Siemens Tessent, Synopsys TestMAX, or equivalent.
• Experience with DFT verification methodologies and coverage analysis.
• Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, or Perl for automation and flow development.

Nice to have

• Experience with advanced process nodes of 7nm and below.
• Background in high-speed connectivity designs such as PCIe, Ethernet, CXL, or similar technologies.
• Experience with hierarchical DFT methodologies and large multi-die or chiplet-based systems.
• Knowledge of silicon bring-up, production test flows, and yield optimization.
• Familiarity with STA, low-power design, and CDC as related to DFT integration.
• Strong leadership and communication skills, including the ability to influence cross-functional teams globally.
