Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.
THE ROLE:
As a DFT Architect you will drive DFT architecture definitions of Scan, MBIST, PHY, high-speed/high-density IOs, communication controllers and FPGA logics of future AMD products. The role involves working with design architecture, design DFT/DFX, design block owners and physical design teams with ATE manufacturing environment, silicon debug, product quality and test cost perspectives. The DFT architect is expected to apply past technical knowledge, learn new cutting-edge technologies and collaborate with teams to arrive at best manufacturable solution. The DFT architect will ensure that DFT implementation is completed by architecture design specifications. This is the role of overseeing early architecture design definition to successful silicon high-volume production.
