Mixed-Signal IP DFT Engineer

MediaTek
Austin, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 4/28/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/27/2026
Job Description

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Mixed-Signal IP DFT Engineer to join our design team. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and implementing Design for Test (DFT) strategies for mixed-signal IP blocks, ensuring high test coverage and manufacturability. You will work closely with analog, digital, and verification engineers to deliver robust and testable mixed-signal IP solutions. Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement DFT architectures and methodologies for mixed-signal IP blocks, including scan insertion and test point insertion for digital portions, and test enablement for analog circuits.
  • Collaborate with analog and digital design teams to ensure DFT requirements are incorporated during IP development.
  • Perform DFT verification, including ATPG (Automatic Test Pattern Generation), fault simulation, and coverage analysis for digital logic.
  • Work with Integration DFT teams to integrate IP-level DFT features into larger systems.
  • Document DFT design, verification, and test procedures for mixed-signal IPs.
  • Stay current with industry trends and best practices in mixed-signal DFT and testability.

Main Requirements and Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 2 years of experience in DFT implementation for mixed-signal or digital IP blocks.
  • Solid understanding of DFT concepts: scan, JTAG, test point insertion and scan diagnosis.
  • Experience with DFT/Simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys DFT Compiler, TetraMax/Tessent, VCS, Verdi).
  • Familiarity with RTL design (Verilog/VHDL) and simulation; understanding of analog design and test concepts.
  • Experience with ATPG, fault grading, and coverage analysis for digital logic.
  • Good problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Experience with silicon debug and production test is a plus.
  • Preferred Skills:
  • Experience with scripting languages (Perl, Python, Tcl).
  • Knowledge of sub-system integration and hierarchical DFT.
  • Familiarity with low-power and mixed-signal design and test challenges.
  • Experience working in a multi-site, cross-functional team environment.
