Our innovation in programmable logic began in 1983. Since then we’ve delivered the tools and technologies that empower customers to innovate, differentiate, and succeed in their markets.

Join us on our journey to becoming the world’s #1 FPGA company!

About The Role The Altera DFT team is looking for a motivated Senior DFT (Design for Testability) Design Engineer to join an industry-leading IC design organization. This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies including FPGA, processor, DSP, SERDES, IO, 2.5D / 3D multi-die packaging, and other advanced solutions that will drive future innovation.

As a Senior DFT Design Engineer, you will be responsible for DFT architecture and implementation, including DFT specifications, test logic insertion, test mode timing constraints, ATPG, and pre-silicon validation. You will also contribute to the development of DFT methodologies and flows to improve pre-silicon and post-silicon validation processes.

This role provides the opportunity to work closely with IP and integration design teams to understand design and functional behaviors of complex circuits, as well as with test development teams to meet manufacturing test requirements for coverage, cost, yield, and silicon bring-up / debug.

Responsibilities :

• Define and implement DFT architectures and specifications for FPGA, processors, DSP, SERDES, IO, and multi-die designs.
• Perform test logic insertion, ATPG pattern generation, and pre-silicon validation for manufacturability and quality.
• Collaborate with IP and integration design teams to align DFT features with design functionality and timing.
• Partner with test development teams to support silicon bring-up, debug, and production readiness.
• Contribute to DFT methodology and automation flows to enhance scalability and efficiency.
• Ensure manufacturability goals are met, including test coverage, test cost optimization, yield improvement, and debug support.
