About the job
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of our company's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.
As a System on a Chip (SoC) Design for Test (DFT) Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced DFT methodologies for digital or mixed-signal chips. You will define silicon test strategies, DFT architecture, and create DFT specifications for next generation SoCs. You will design, insert, and verify the DFT logic and prepare for post silicon and co-work/debug with test engineers.
The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at our company designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all our company services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and our company Cloud. Our end users are our companyrs, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use our company's services around the world.
We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including our company Clouds Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.
Responsibilities
Develop DFT strategy and architecture (e.g., Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), hierarchical DFT).
Complete all Test Design Rule Checks (TDRC) and design changes to fix TDRC violations to achieve high-test quality.
Insert DFT logic, boundary scan, scan chains, DFT Compression, Logic Built-In Self Test, Test Access Point (TAP) controller, clock control block, and other DFT IP blocks.
Insert and hook up MBIST logic including test collar around memories, MBIST controllers, eFuse logic, and connect to core and TAP interfaces.
Document DFT architecture, test sequences, and boot-up sequences associated with test pins.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
3 years of experience with Design For Test (DFT) methodologies, DFT verification, and industry-standard DFT tools.
Experience with ASIC DFT synthesis, simulation, and verification flow.
Experience in DFT specification, definition, architecture, and insertion.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
Experience working with ATE engineers (e.g., silicon bring-up, patterns generation, debug, validation on automatic test equipment, debug of silicon issues).
Experience in IP integration (e.g., memories, test controllers, Test Access Point (TAP), and Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST)).
Experience in SoC cycles, silicon bringup, and silicon debug activities.
Experience in fault modeling.
This position is open to all candidates.
