Sr. Staff Engineer - DFT (Semiconductor)

Location: On-site 5 days a week in NW Austin, Texas, United States

Company

hirify.global develops ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions for wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.

What you will do

• Own DFT strategy and develop low-power test architectures for ultra-low-power SoCs.
• Implement scan insertion, boundary scan, MBIST, and ATPG using standard EDA tools.
• Generate structural test vectors and improve test coverage, test time, and test cost.
• Perform pre- and post-layout scan and MBIST simulations.
• Collaborate with design teams on timing, physical, power, and logical DFT issues.
• Work with test engineering teams to bring up production test vectors on silicon.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field, with 10+ years of DFT implementation experience.
• Required hands-on expertise with Cadence Genus and Modus Compression for low-power scan insertion and ATPG pattern generation.
• Strong knowledge of scan testing, scan compression, boundary scan, MBIST, hierarchical DFT architectures, and memory test strategies.
• Experience with Tessent MBIST memory repair patterns, test coverage and test time optimization, ATPG/MBIST testbenches, and pre-/post-layout simulation.
• Experience analyzing ATE failure data, performing ATPG diagnosis, and collaborating on production test programs.
• Working knowledge of RTL design and verification, timing analysis, constraint development, Tcl, and gate-level simulation; Perl and/or Python experience is preferred.
