Company

hirify.global develops semiconductor-based connectivity solutions and software for rack-scale AI infrastructure.

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, and sign-off across block, full-chip, and chiplet levels.
• Drive end-to-end DFT activities from specification through silicon bring-up and production support.
• Develop scalable DFT methodologies, flows, and automation frameworks.
• Collaborate with RTL, Physical Design, STA, and Test Engineering teams to improve DFT readiness, quality, PPA, and turnaround time.

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 or SoC designs.
• Proven experience leading DFT activities across full-chip development cycles.
• Deep expertise in Scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG/iJTAG, ATPG, DFT verification, and coverage analysis.
• Experience with DFT and Physical Design flows, timing implications, integration challenges, and industry-standard tools such as Siemens Tessent or Synopsys TestMAX.
• 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, or CXL.
• Experience with hierarchical DFT and large multi-die or chiplet-based systems.
• Knowledge of silicon bring-up, production test flows, yield optimization, STA, low-power design, and CDC as related to DFT integration.
• Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to influence global cross-functional teams.
