About the role
The AI and Infrastructure team at Google builds AI and infrastructure at hyperscale, including custom silicon solutions such as TPUs that power Google's most demanding AI/ML applications, along with Vertex AI, Google Global Networking, and data center operations. The team works from low-level circuit design through large system design and on to high-volume manufacturing. This role is a DFT micro-architect/design engineer position focused on DFT strategy and architecture, DFT logic insertion, die-level DFT validation, TDRC closure, and post-silicon test pattern generation and debug for TPU architecture integrated within AI/ML-driven systems.
What you will do
- Develop DFT strategy and architecture (e.g., hierarchical DFT, DFT for high-speed I/Os, Analog DFT).
- Develop and drive die-level DFT validation strategy, complete all Test Design Rule Checks (TDRC), and execute design changes to fix TDRC violations to achieve high test quality.
- Insert DFT logic, boundary scan, scan chains, DFT Compression, Logic BIST, TAP controller, Clock Control block, and other DFT IP blocks.
- Document DFT architecture, test sequences, and boot-up sequences associated with test pins.
- Generate and deliver production and debug patterns to the post-silicon engineering team, and run diagnosis for post-silicon support.
Skills used in this role
Preferred qualifications
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science, or a related field.
- Experience in IP integration (e.g., memories, test controllers, Test Access Point (TAP), and DFT for Multi die SoCs).
- Experience in fault modeling.
- Experience in SoC cycles, silicon bringup, and silicon debug activities.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
