DFT Engineer UK – Bristol, Cambridge, or Thames Valley
£50,000 - £90,000 DOE + Share options and Bonus
I am seeking a DFT Engineer to join a UK-headquartered fabless semiconductor company specializing in custom ASIC design and supply services. Known for working across a broad range of sectors — including automotive, industrial, healthcare, communications, and consumer electronics — the company provides both turnkey ASIC development and IP licensing, including processor subsystems and signal processing solutions.
You will have a strong academic record and 5-10 years’ experience in Design for Test (DFT) within digital ASIC/SoC development.
Take full-flow ownership of all DFT, BIST, and test-pattern generation for complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs on an as-needed basis to meet customer project requirements.
Work closely alongside the wider Front-end and Back-end teams to implement and verify DFT at all stages in the development flow.
Generate test specification documentation, as required, for delivery to sub-contractors providing test services.
5-10 years’ experience in industry with a strong track record in DFT gained across several successful ASIC projects.
~ Specific skills in DFT implementation:
~ Implementation using tool-based and hand-crafted methods
~ Coverage analysis and improvement to meet targets
~ ATPG, as well as manual and semi-automatic TPG, including simulation-based methods.
~ Implementation of at-speed test methodologies
~ VHDL/Verilog coding skills.
This role can be based in one of several UK locations and visa sponsorship can be provided.
