Staff DFT Engineer Careers at Analog Devices in Bangalore, India
Overview: Leading DFT Innovation at Analog Devices in Bangalore
Analog Devices stands at the forefront of semiconductor innovation, bridging the physical and digital worlds to power the Intelligent Edge. With over $9 billion in FY24 revenue and 24,000 global employees, we're enabling breakthroughs in digitized factories, mobility, digital healthcare, climate solutions, and seamless human-world connectivity. In Bangalore, India – the Silicon Valley of Asia – our Aveda Meta campus is a hub of cutting-edge SoC development, where Staff DFT Engineers drive test strategies that ensure silicon excellence from architecture to production.
This senior role demands a visionary leader who owns the complete DFT lifecycle for complex SoCs. You'll architect scan chains, BIST structures, and test access ports while mentoring teams and collaborating across design, physical design, validation, and manufacturing. Operating with autonomy, you'll make pivotal decisions on test quality, coverage, and readiness, ensuring our chips meet the highest standards for high-volume production. Bangalore's thriving tech ecosystem, combined with Analog Devices' global resources, positions you to tackle the most challenging DFT problems in industry-leading technologies.
From defining low-power DFT for automotive-grade SoCs compliant with ISO 26262 to optimizing ATPG patterns for minimal test time, your expertise will directly impact products that transform industries. Join us to stay Ahead of What's Possible™ in a city pulsating with innovation.
A Day in the Life of a Staff DFT Engineer in Bangalore
Imagine starting your day at 9 AM in our state-of-the-art Aveda Meta facility, surrounded by Bangalore's vibrant energy. You dive into reviewing the latest ATPG coverage reports for a multi-core SoC, identifying a stubborn transition fault hole. A quick Python script automates the analysis, pinpointing a design fix needed in RTL.
By 10:30 AM, you're in a cross-functional sync with RTL designers and PD engineers, advocating for early testability insertions to avoid downstream pain. Lunch at the campus cafeteria sparks ideas on LBIST enhancements over discussions with peers from Hyderabad and Limerick offices.
Afternoon brings hands-on implementation: stitching compressed scan chains using Cadence Modus, closing DRCs, and verifying timing impacts. At 3 PM, you mentor two junior engineers on MBIST repair algorithms, reviewing their patterns and sharing silicon debug war stories. As silicon bring-up nears, you collaborate with product engineering on ATE patterns, simulating tester failures to preempt issues.
The day ends with strategic planning – architecting DFT for the next-gen chip, balancing area overhead against 99.9% coverage goals. With 10% travel to global sites and hybrid flexibility, your impact resonates worldwide from Bangalore's tech heart.
