The DFT Engineer delivers hands-on expertise in designing and deploying advanced Design-for-Test solutions for semiconductor chip development. This role drives robust DFT architectures—including ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, and analog test solutions—while implementing optimized methodologies for rapid test pattern generation and efficient project delivery. Your Job Implement DFT architectures including ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, scan insertion, and analog test features under manager guidance. Execute test pattern generation and optimization to minimize test time while maximizing coverage and manufacturing yield. Apply standardized DFT methodologies and flows to deliver efficient, repeatable results across multiple projects. Integrate DFT requirements into RTL and physical design stages through collaboration with design, verification, and backend teams. Develop automation scripts (TCL, Python, Perl) for test pattern creation, validation, and analysis. Analyze test data from silicon bring-up and production to identify improvements and support root-cause debugging. Document DFT implementations, test results, and reuse IP for team knowledge sharing. Other Responsibilities Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering , Computer Engineering, or a related field. 4+ years of hands-on DFT experience on SoCs, including ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, and scan-based testing. Proficiency with EDA tools such as Synopsys TestMAX , Cadence Modus, or Mentor Tessent for DFT insertion and pattern generation. Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) for flow automation and data analysis. Familiarity with optimizing test time, fault coverage, and ATPG patterns. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail for debugging complex test failures. Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration. Preferred Qualifications Experience with automotive ASIL flows or high-volume manufacturing test challenges. Proactive contributor to process improvements and tool evaluations. Expected Salary Range $106,000.00 - $184,000.00 The exact Salary will be determined based on qualifications, experience and location.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
