- Redundancy analysis (RA) flows
- Fuse/OTP programming for repair implementation
- Integration of repair signatures into test and bring-up flows
- Drive ATPG pattern generation, validation, and coverage improvement.
- Analyze failure logs and debug issues during simulation and silicon bring-up.
- Collaborate closely with Physical Design (PnR) teams for:
- Scan chain stitching and reordering.
- Write SDC for timing closure for test paths.
- Understand physical impacts of DFT (congestion, timing, power).
- Support silicon bring-up, ATE debugging, and manufacturing test strategies.

### Required Qualifications
- BSEE/MSEE in Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of strong hands‑on experience in JTAG, Scan, Memory BIST, and ATPG
- Proficient in SystemVerilog and UVM‑based verification environments.
