Base pay range

$275,000.00/yr - $300,000.00/yr

In this role, you will work with Acceler8 Talent on a breakthrough computing initiative focused on real-time computing over encrypted datasets, enabling secure, high-performance processing in edge and cloud environments. Their proprietary architecture is designed for compute-heavy applications like Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).

Overview

They’re looking for an experienced DFT Architect to lead the design-for-test strategy across complex SoC/ASIC programs. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can balance technical execution with team direction and cross-functional coordination.

In this role, you will

  • Define and own DFT architecture and methodology for advanced SoCs
  • Lead scan insertion, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and ATPG implementations
  • Manage and mentor a team of DFT engineers through all phases of development
  • Collaborate with RTL, PD, and verification teams for smooth DFT integration and signoff
  • Support post-silicon bring-up, test development, and yield improvement efforts

You should bring

  • 10+ years of DFT experience, including 3+ years in technical leadership or management
  • Deep knowledge of DFT tools and flows (Tessent, DFTMAX, Modus, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience with scan, BIST, and boundary scan techniques
  • Strong understanding of RTL-to-GDSII flows, timing closure, and test coverage optimization
  • Familiarity with scripting (Python, Perl, TCL) to automate and enhance test processes

Bonus if you have

  • Background in safety-critical or mission-critical applications (automotive, aerospace, etc.)
  • Experience with low-power DFT techniques and production ATE test optimization

Seniority level
