About the role

Senior DFP Engineer – Manufacturing responsible for validation and screening of new silicon features in high-volume manufacturing, translating product requirements into test methodologies, infrastructure, and manufacturing test plans to ensure quality, yield, and efficiency at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end manufacturing test methodology across all test stages.
  • Translate system specs and product POR into DFP requirements, test content, coverage, and flows.
  • Define and maintain the DFP roadmap, including infrastructure and turning point planning.
  • Partner multi-functionally to implement test content, debug hooks, and coverage improvements.
  • Drive alignment on manufacturability, test time, binning strategies, and cost vs. coverage trade-offs.
  • Embed testability requirements into design to enable robust screening and debug.
  • Define data and analytics frameworks to support yield analysis and continuous improvement.
  • Lead DFP documentation as the single source of truth and feed findings into future methodologies.

Qualifications

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 6+ years in silicon post-silicon validation and/or high-volume manufacturing test for complex SoCs, GPUs, CPUs, or similar
  • Hands-on experience with test content bring-up, limit setting, correlation to characterization, and yield/coverage optimization
  • Proficiency with scripting and data analysis (e.g., Python, MATLAB, R, SQL) for test data analytics, limit tuning, and yield/debug analysis
  • Demonstrated ability to drive multi-functional alignment around plans, dependencies, and sign-off criteria
  • Excellent communication skills and comfort authoring structured technical documents and test plans used by global manufacturing and validation teams
  • Strong AI-enabled skills and thinking - use AI to accelerate analysis, exploration, and documentation, but maintain rigor and judgment
  • Prior ownership of manufacturing test strategy for a major silicon product from early planning through ramp to QS/production
