DFT Architect
San Jose, California$232k - $348kFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
DFT Architect responsible for defining and overseeing DFT architecture (Scan, MBIST, PHY, high-speed/high-density IOs, communication controllers, and FPGA logics) across AMD products, coordinating with design, DFT/DFX, verification, and manufacturing teams to deliver manufacturable, high-volume silicon with pre- and post-silicon activities.
Responsibilities
- Promote ATE & production test environment, test cost and test quality enhancements in future AMD products through DFT architecture definitions and specifications
- Manage DFT activities across architecture, design implementation, verification, and test implementation for new products.
- The role is in AMD global quality and operation organization driving best manufacturing test solution through early product definition and pre & post silicon activities
- Work closely with design teams and make sure DFT structures are correctly implemented.
- Drive internal DFT teams to correctly implement and create test solutions
- Drive firmware driven test solutions
- Plan for diagnosability and yield improvement
Qualifications
- Significant DFT engineering experience through DFT pre and post silicon cycles
- Experience in creating and implementing complex chip-level DFT architecture
- Experience in DFT implementation including Scan and Scan Compression at IP and SoC level
- Experience with DFT tools, ATPG (Stuck-At, At-Speed, Path-Delay) and scan compression
- Strong MBIST knowledge
- Experience in PHY, high-speed IO, digital communication and functional test development
- Knowledge of Tessent Streaming Scan Network SSN and hand-on experience is a big plus
- Good understanding of Verilog, synthesis, physical implementation and STA
- Good understanding of verification methodology
- Knowledge of FPGA logic, synthesis and design flow is a plus
- Knowledge of embedded design and firmware methodology is a plus
- Experience with post-silicon debug and bench equipment (e.g., oscilloscope and logic analyser)
- Good communication skills and works well in a group environment that spans across continents
