For new graduates many fields of engineering are new concepts. For example Design for test can never be conceived in a graduates mind. Before joining design for test my thinking was restricted to only traditional design. This is in all accounts great to be a designer that you concentrate on the deeper circuit concepts. However unlike design limited to only a few circuits where one becomes a professional, in Design for test you get to experience how the whole design comes together. This gives a design for test engineer an edge in understanding design implications to things like yield, testability cost. Especially the cost of testing is the back-bone of production in pursuit of quality and affordability. But DFT sits at the sweet spot that enables an engineer to enjoy the best of both worlds of actual design and production. As an entrant, one would be looking for those positions where they can learn the most from to build their career. And DFT can be one of those positions.

What do you like about your job and the company?
This is the center piece of product engineering. If something can not be tested then it can not be produced. And if it can not be produced then it can not be used. Design for Test requires a lot of imagination. Unlike designers that are limited to simulation environments we have have both simulation and actual testing opportunities. And therefore DFT Engineer gets to understand actual operation of the device in silicon with clarity. DFT Engineers have understanding of production and the implication of designs in production. As DFT I have had chances to work with design teams on the conceptualization of architectures. In such cases I was bringing the production and backend manufacturing to bear in the meeting something that was very interesting to be apart of.
Greatest achievements
At least in nearly almost all the designs i have worked on I have had the unique privilege of seeing actual edits implemented because of analyses I have participated in. There is nothing as fulfilling like to know that somehow you are contributing to the safety of the customer using the products in the market. The highlight of this was when the issue extend over an entire generation of products.
