Every hyperscaler, every cloud provider, every AI company is building custom silicon. But they all face the same problem: how do you connect hundreds of chips, deliver clean power at scale, and move terabits of data without melting the package?\nThat's what we solve. TYLsemi builds the chiplet infrastructure IP - the IO, power delivery, and interconnect building blocks - that makes AI/HPC systems actually work at scale.\nThis isn't a nice-to-have. It's the critical path.\nWhy Now\nThe Market Window\nThe semiconductor industry is going through its biggest architectural shift in 40 years:\nMoore's Law is dead. 2nm and beyond delivers marginal performance gains. The future is chiplets, not monolithic dies.\nCustom silicon is now mainstream. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI - they're all designing their own ASICs. The $50B custom silicon market is growing 30% annually.\nIO and power are the bottleneck. Solve hard problems and provide something which is a category in itself.\nTranslation: We're entering the market at exactly the moment when every major AI/HPC player needs what we're building, and their alternatives are disappearing.\nCulture & Team: How We Work\nNo Politics, No Bureaucracy\nThere are no layers, no approval chains, no corporate theater.\nIf you have an idea, we test it. If it works, we ship it.\nNo endless meetings, no PowerPoint presentations to convince middle management.\nRemote-Friendly, Global Team\nUS team: Bay Area preferred, but we hire the best people regardless of location\nIndia team: Building a world-class design center in Bangalore\nMove Fast, Ship Real Products\nWe're not a research project. We have paying customers, committed capital, and aggressive timelines.\nThis is a company, not a lifestyle business. We're building to win.\nWhat We Value\nOwnership mindset. You're not here to execute someone else's roadmap. You're here to define it.\nBias for action. We move fast. Analysis paralysis doesn't fly here.\nDeep technical expertise. This is hard engineering. We need people who've shipped real silicon and debugged real hardware.\nLow ego, high standards. We don't care about titles or politics. We care about results.\nThe Ask\nIf you're reading this, you're probably comfortable. You have a good job at a stable company with all the benefits.\nWe're asking you to walk away from that and bet on us.\nHere's why you should:\nThe market is real. AI infrastructure spending is $200B+ annually and growing 40% YoY. Every hyperscaler needs what we're building.\nThe team has done this before. We've built and exited semiconductor companies at scale. This isn't our first rodeo.\nThe traction is de-risked. We have LOIs, strategic investors, and a clear path to revenue.\nThe work is consequential. You're not optimizing someone's ad click-through rate. You're building the silicon infrastructure that powers AI.\nThis is the bet. Join us and build something that matters.\nOr stay comfortable. No judgment.\nBut if you're the kind of person who wants to take the shot, we'd love to talk.\nREADY TO JOIN?\nAbout the role\nWe are looking for an experienced DFT Architect to lead Design-for-Test strategy, architecture definition, and implementation for complex ASIC/SOC designs across advanced technology nodes. The ideal candidate will drive end-to-end DFT architecture including scan, MBIST, compression, boundary scan, and at-speed test methodologies while collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve high test coverage, quality, and silicon bring-up success.\nWhat you'll do\nDefine and own SOC-level DFT architecture and test strategy for complex semiconductor designs. \nLead implementation of scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, boundary scan, and test compression methodologies. \nDrive DFT planning and integration aligned with power, timing, area, and test coverage goals. \nCollaborate with RTL, Physical Design, Verification, and Product Engineering teams for seamless DFT integration and signoff. \nAnalyze and resolve DFT-related timing, routing, and testability challenges. \nSupport silicon bring-up, debug, diagnosis, yield analysis, and production test optimization. \nDevelop and enhance DFT automation flows, methodologies, and reusable infrastructure. \nMentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across projects. \nWhatWe’reLooking For\nBachelor’s orMaster’sdegree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or related field. \n14+ years of experience in ASIC/SOC DFT implementation and architecture.\nStrongexpertisein scan, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG, compression, and low-power DFT methodologies.\nHands-on experience with industry-standard DFT tools such as SiemensTessent, Synopsys DFT Compiler/TestMAX, or equivalent. \nStrong understanding of RTL design, timing, physical design constraints, and silicon debug. \nExperience with advanced technology nodes and large SOC integration. \nStrong scripting and automation skills usingTcl, Python, Perl, or Shell. \nExcellent leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills. \nGood to Have\nExperience with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262. \nExposure to chiplet-based architectures and 3D IC testing methodologies. \nKnowledge of diagnosis-driven yield improvement and silicon analytics. \nSuccess in This Role Looks Like\nDelivery of robust DFT architectures with high test coverage and efficient manufacturing test cost. \nSuccessful silicon bring-up with minimal DFT-related issues. \nImproved DFTmethodologyscalability, automation, and execution efficiency. \nStrong technical leadership and contribution to organization-wide DFT best practices.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5649,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":14,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI
