Job Description:

The Central Engineering Team is responsible for standard cell development and custom design solutions that power cutting-edge AI compute cores and CPUs. We need a visionary engineer to own the end-to-end silicon diagnostic pipeline. You won’t just be looking at reports; you will be building the engines that generate them. In this role, you will ingest massive volumes of scan failure data and process parameters, using AI-driven methodologies to find the "needle in the haystack" that is hindering our yield.

.

Job Description:

• AI-Driven Debug: Develop and deploy ML models to automate the classification of scan failures (Chain, Stuck-at, Transition) and correlate them with design-for-test (DFT) structures.
• Predictive Yield Modeling: Integrate high-dimensional data-including Fab process parameters, PCM (Process Control Monitoring), and E-test data-to predict yield excursions before they hit the assembly line.
• Holistic Yield Analysis: Look beyond the bitcell. You’ll analyze the interplay between design marginalities, voltage scaling, and manufacturing variations.
• Tool Orchestration: Evaluate and implement cutting-edge AI-based EDA tools for root-cause analysis and systematic defect identification.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the "translator" between the Fab, Design, and Test teams, using data to prove where the silicon is diverging from the simulation.

Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• ASIC Design Engineering: Deep understanding of ASIC design, including logic circuits, memory, PLL/Analog, Place and route, STA, DFT, DFM, etc.
• The Debug Specialist: You know your way around scan compression, BIST, and ATPG patterns. You understand what a "shmoo plot" is telling you about a timing marginality.
• The Data Scientist: You don't just "use" tools; you understand the math. You are proficient in Python (Pandas, Scikit-Learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) for building custom analysis pipelines.
• The Yield Strategist: You have a deep understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes (FinFET nodes) and how physical defects manifest as logical failures.
• Bachelor's degree and 8+ years of related experience OR Masters degree and 6+ years of related experience or PhD and 3+ years of related experience

Compensation and Benefits

The annual base salary range for this position is USD 121,900.00 To USD 195,000.00

As a valued member of our team, you'll be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus and the opportunity to receive not only a competitive new hire equity grant, but also annual equity awards, connecting your success directly to the company's growth. All subject to relevant plan documents and award agreements.
