Senior DFT Lead

About the Job

As the Design for Test (DFT) Engineer Lead, you will play a crucial role in DFT Architecture and DFT design, and support devices to production. You will be responsible for providing technical leadership in DFT, developing flows, automation, and methodology, planning DFT activities, tracking the DFT quality throughout the project life-cycle, and providing sign-off DFT to tapeout.

In this role, you will work to shape the future of an Edge-AI product, bringing high-performance intelligence to the edge. You will have an opportunity to drive distributed inference technology that powers real-time systems where latency and reliability are mission-critical.

You will be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing autonomous solutions that define the next-generation of intelligent infrastructure and hardware for the edge. You will contribute to the innovation behind products that transform industries, leveraging your expertise in system-level integration and localized processing to deploy AI models across sophisticated hardware platforms, ensuring intelligence is embedded exactly where the action happens.
