Design For Testability (DFT) Engineer (ASIC)

Location: On-site in San Jose, California

Salary: $150,000–$275,000 per year plus equity

Company

hirify.global builds chips, racks, software, and manufacturing systems for high-throughput, low-latency frontier AI inference.

What you will do

• Develop DFT architectures for ASIC and SoC designs to improve test coverage, debugging, and fault isolation.
• Integrate scan insertion, boundary scan, BIST, and MBIST methodologies.
• Create DFT verification plans and apply simulation-based and formal verification techniques.
• Analyze test results and silicon debug data to improve coverage, yield, reliability, and product quality.
• Support silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, failure analysis, and ATE program development for volume production.
• Document DFT architectures and procedures while sharing best practices through training and mentorship.

Requirements

• 10+ years of DFT engineering experience with ASIC or SoC products.
• Strong knowledge of digital design, verification, and DFT implementation practices.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys DFT Compiler, Cadence Encounter Test, or Mentor Tessent.
• Scripting and automation experience with Python, Perl, or TCL.
• Experience leading DFT initiatives across multiple product generations in high-performance or high-volume silicon environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred.

Nice to have

• Mixed-signal DFT and analog testability integration experience.
• Experience with IEEE 1149.1, IEEE 1500, yield analysis, product engineering, or test cost reduction.

Culture & Benefits

• Fully in-person work in San Jose, with collaboration across engineering and research disciplines.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus a $500 monthly credit for waiving medical benefits.
• $2,000 monthly housing subsidy for employees living within walking distance of the office.
• Relocation support for moves to San Jose.
• Wellness benefits, daily office lunch and dinner, and an unlimited compute budget subject to ROI justification.
