If you are passionate about solving complex technical challenges and want to contribute to innovations in these fast-growing segments, I encourage you to come forward and apply. This is an opportunity to be part of a journey that is not only technically rewarding but also strategically significant.

Looking forward to seeing many of you take this step.

Texas Instruments is seeking a talented and passionate DFT Engineer to join our silicon design team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the testability and quality of TI's next-generation semiconductor devices. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams spanning design, physical design, and product engineering to deliver high-quality, silicon-proven test solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on low cost MCUs using industry-leading EDA tools in a collaborative and innovation-driven environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute DFT architecture and scan insertion strategies for low cost MCUs
• Implement and validate ATPG test patterns to achieve automotive grade fault coverage
• Design and deploy Memory BIST (MBIST) solutions for embedded memories across SoC designs
• Ensure DFT rule compliance throughout the design flow from RTL to tape-out
• Debug and resolve complex ATPG, scan, and Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) violations
• Perform DFT sign-off checks and ensure test coverage meets product quality targets
• Develop and maintain Tcl, Perl, and Python scripts to automate DFT flows and improve efficiency
• Continuously improve DFT methodologies, flows, and best practices within the team

Qualification

• Experience with scan compression techniques (e.g., Modus EDT/IJTAG)
• Familiarity with IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) / IEEE 1500 standards
• Exposure to low-power DFT methodologies (clock gating, power domain testing)
