Senior DFT Engineer, Google Cloud at Google

About the job

Be part of a diverse 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 be responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced Design for Testing (DFT) methodologies for digital, mixed-signal chips, or IPs. You will define silicon test strategies, DFT architecture, and create DFT specifications for next generation So Cs. You will design, insert, and verify the DFT logic. You will prepare for post-silicon and co-work/debug with test engineers. You will be responsible for reducing test cost, increasing production quality, and enhancing yield.Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Develop DFT strategy and architecture, including hierarchical DFT/Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), IJTAG/TAP, and Hi-Speed IO. Demonstrate ownership from DFT logic, pre-silicon verification, to co-work with test engineers post silicon.

• Insert DFT logic, including boundary scan, scan chains, DFT Compression, Logic Built-In Self Test (BIST), 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, e Fuse logic, and connect to core and TAP interfaces.

• Document DFT architecture and test sequences, including boot-up sequence associated with test pins.

• Complete all Test Design Rule Checks (TDRC) and design changes to fix TDRC violations to achieve high test quality and support post-silicon test team.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5 years of experience in DFT specification definition architecture and insertion.

• 3 years of experience using electronic design automation (EDA) test tools (e.g., Spyglass, Tessent).

• Experience with ASIC DFT synthesis, STA, simulation, and verification flow.

• Experience working with ATE engineers (e.g., silicon bring-up, patterns generation, debug, validation on automatic test equipment, and debug of silicon issues, etc.).

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience in IP integration (e.g., memories, test controllers, TAP, and MBIST).

• Experience in SoC cycles, including silicon bring-up and silicon debug activities.

• Experience in fault modeling.
