Senior SOC DFT Engineer, Google Cloud

About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google'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.

In this role, you will play a crucial role in Design for Testing (DFT) Architecture and DFT design, and support devices of extreme complexity to production. You will be responsible for providing technical leadership in DFT, developing flows, automation, and methodology, planning DFT activities, tracking the DFT quality matrix throughout the project life-cycle, and providing sign-off DFT to tapeout.

The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google 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 Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute activities in the design, implementation, and verification of DFT solutions for large-scale ASICs.
• Develop DFT strategy and architecture, including hierarchical DFT, Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), and Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG).
• Work with other Engineering teams (e.g., Design, Verification, Physical Design) to ensure that DFT requirements are met and mutual dependencies are managed.
• Manage the DFT team's workload and deliverables, provide technical leadership and guidance to the team.
• Lead DFT execution of a silicon project (e.g., planning, execution, tracking, quality, and signoff).

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) methods.
• Experience with multiple projects in DFT design and verification, DFT specification, definition, architecture, and insertion.
• Experience with DFT techniques and tools, ASIC DFT synthesis, simulation, and verification flow.
• Experience in leading DFT activities throughout an ASIC development flow.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience in JTAG and iJTAG protocols and architectures.
• Experience in post-silicon test or product engineering.
• Experience in SoC cycles, silicon bring-up, and silicon debug activities.
• Knowledge of fault modeling techniques.
