DFT Engineer

Join Orbit Communication Systems as a DFT Practical Engineer, where you will lead the design for testability (DFT) efforts to ensure optimal manufacturing and quality assurance processes for complex electronic systems.

Responsibilities:

implement DFT methodologies to enhance product testability and manufacturability.
Collaborate with design teams to integrate DFT solutions into the design flow.
Perform scan insertion, boundary scan, and other DFT techniques to improve test coverage.
Analyze and resolve DFT-related issues during the design and production phases.
Lead test pattern generation and validation processes to ensure quality and efficiency.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers in DFT practices.

Requirements:

Minimum of 5 years of experience in DFT engineering for complex IC designs.
Proficiency in using DFT tools such as Mentor Graphics Tessent, Synopsys DFTMAX, or Cadence Modus.
Experience with scan, BIST, and boundary scan methodologies.
Solid understanding of digital design, VLSI design flow, and verification processes.
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

Responsibilites:

Design for Testability (DFT)

Review and analyze schematics and PCB layouts during the early development stages.
Ensure compliance with DFT guidelines and best practices.
Provide recommendations to improve board testability and manufacturing readiness.

Test Coverage Analysis

Lead and perform comprehensive test coverage analysis using TestWay software or equivalent tools.
Define test point requirements and identify coverage gaps.
Provide actionable recommendations to hardware development teams.

Test Strategy Definition

Define the optimal testing methodology for electronic assemblies (PCBAs) and systems.
Establish and maintain test strategies integrating:
In-Circuit Test (ICT)
Flying Probe Testing
Functional Testing
Boundary Scan (JTAG)

Boundary Scan / JTAG Development

Develop, configure, and execute JTAG/Boundary Scan tests at both component and board levels.
Create and maintain test programs and integrate them into production and validation environments.

ATE Support and Test Infrastructure

Define requirements for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and functional test stations.
Support the development, deployment, and maintenance of test systems in accordance with the defined DFT strategy.
