Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineer — ASIC Backend

Salary

$98,600 - $133,400 per year

Apply on The Boeing Company

Description

We are seeking multiple Design-for-Test (DFT) Engineers , ASIC Backend to join our Boeing Electronic Products team in El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA. The DFT team drives architecture, verification, and post-silicon validation for leading-edge ASICs.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement DFT architectures: TAP/JTAG, IJTAG (IEEE 1687), Boundary Scan (BSCAN), MBIST, and scan compression
  • Develop and validate TAP/JTAG and IJTAG infrastructures, BSDL/ICL/PDL artifacts, and ATPG pattern generation
  • Drive pattern generation, coverage optimization, memory test validation, and silicon debug (scan, at-speed, bring-up)
  • Integrate DFT features across the chip design flow and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust DFT integration
  • Coordinate with external partners/customers on custom DFT interfaces and security requirements when applicable
  • Contribute to development and deployment of DFT methodologies for next-generation products
  • Occasional travel and after-hours meetings during critical milestones

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement
  • 2+ years of experience in Design for Testability (DFT) or equivalent
  • Strong knowledge of ASIC/logic design flow, HDL (Verilog/SystemVerilog), static timing analysis, and ECO processes
  • Hands-on expertise with TAP/JTAG, IJTAG (IEEE 1687), Boundary Scan (IEEE 1149.1), MBIST, scan compression, ATPG, at-speed test, and silicon debug
  • Proficiency in scripting (Tcl/Perl/Python) and DFT verification methodologies
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of related engineering experience (Experienced, Level 3)
  • 9+ years of related engineering experience (Lead, Level 4)
  • Active U.S. Secret Security Clearance
  • Requirements development and traceability experience
  • FPGA implementation including constraints and timing closure
  • Static timing analysis experience
  • Understanding of timing fundamentals and CDC concepts
  • Verification collaboration experience
  • High-speed interfaces, processor integration, memory subsystems, or SoC integration
  • Mentoring or technical leadership exposure
  • Familiarity with industry-standard tools and methodologies

Benefits:

  • Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities
  • Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs
  • Paid and unpaid time away from work

Salary Range:

  • Associate (Level 2): $98,600 - $133,400
