Position: DFT Engineer

Experience: 5+ years Location: Bangalore, India Company: Mettlesemi Systems and Technologies Pvt Ltd Job Type: Full-Time

We are seeking a skilled Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineer to join our silicon design team for a high-impact engagement with a prestigious global client. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in SoC-level DFT architecture, ATPG, MBIST, and scan-based methodologies, contributing to the design and validation of high-performance, testable, and reliable silicon.

About Us

Mettlesemi Systems and Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is a Bangalore-based deep-tech company driving innovation across three key verticals:

  • Custom Silicon Solutions & Embedded Systems Design
  • Secure Hardware Products for Authentication and Cybersecurity
  • Ultra-Low-Latency FPGA Systems for FinTech and Critical Infrastructure

Our expertise spans the entire silicon lifecyclefrom RTL design, DFT insertion, and SoC validation to ASIC prototypingpositioning us as a trusted partner to leading global semiconductor clients. This opportunity falls under our Silicon Solutions and Services vertical, with a focus on DFT architecture and implementation for complex SoCs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement Design-for-Test (DFT) architectures for complex SoC designs.
  • Drive scan insertion, boundary scan, compression, and memory BIST (MBIST) strategies.
  • Generate and analyze ATPG test patterns and optimize for coverage and performance.
  • Collaborate with RTL, synthesis, and physical design teams to ensure DFT rule compliance and timing closure.
  • Participate in DFT verification, debug, and post-silicon bring-up.
  • Develop and maintain scripting automation for DFT flow optimization (Python, Tcl, Perl, or Shell).
  • Interface with ATE teams for pattern validation and production test support.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of DFT methodologies and workflows.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Bachelors or masters degree in electrical, electronics, or computer science engineering.
  • 5+ years of experience in DFT design and implementation for ASIC or SoC projects.
  • Proven expertise in scan insertion, scan compression, MBIST, and boundary scan (JTAG).
  • Hands-on experience with ATPG tools such as Mentor Tessent or equivalent.
  • Strong understanding of DFT verification flows, static timing analysis (STA), and design closure.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell).
  • Familiarity with RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and synthesis flows.
  • Strong analytical, debugging, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with multi-vendor DFT tools and flows (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA).
  • Exposure to post-silicon DFT bring-up and failure debug.
  • Knowledge of UVM verification methodology and gate-level simulation.
  • Experience working with ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) and production test flows.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset with a focus on DFT quality and test coverage optimization.

Why Join Mettlesemi

  • Work on cutting-edge silicon design and DFT technologies for global semiconductor clients.
  • Opportunity to own end-to-end DFT development across IP and SoC levels.
  • Collaborative, innovation-driven environment focused on technical excellence.
  • End-to-end visibility into silicon product design, validation, and test.
  • Competitive compensation and benefits package.
