DFT Architect
BangaloreFull-timePosted 2w ago
About the role
Key member of the AMD Server CPU engineering team responsible for Structural Design-for-Test (DFT) implementation, Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), LBIST, and silicon bring-up support to ensure high-quality EPYC Server SoCs.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with Architecture teams to understand and define DFT architecture requirements.
- Work closely with RTL Design teams to ensure compliance with DFT design methodologies, rules, and best practices.
- Partner with Physical Design teams to implement DFT structures and achieve timing closure for test logic.
- Develop and execute ATPG strategies for stuck-at, transition, and other fault models using advanced test compression techniques.
- Generate, simulate, and validate high-quality manufacturing test patterns.
- Analyze coverage results and drive design enhancements to maximize fault coverage and test quality.
- Perform debug and root-cause analysis of DFT, ATPG, and LBIST-related issues throughout the design cycle.
- Collaborate with Product Engineering teams to support manufacturing test program development and qualification.
- Support silicon bring-up, characterization, yield improvement, and production debug activities.
- Develop and maintain automation tools, scripts, and flows to improve productivity and test quality.
- Drive continuous improvements in DFT methodologies, verification strategies, and automation infrastructure.
Qualifications
- Strong understanding of DFT architecture, scan design, test compression, ATPG, and LBIST methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with ATPG tools such as Siemens Tessent (Mentor TK) or equivalent.
- Experience with scan insertion, fault simulation, coverage analysis, and pattern validation.
- Good understanding of Static Timing Analysis (STA) and timing closure concepts.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify and resolve complex design issues.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl, or Shell.
- Familiarity with ASIC/SoC development flows and semiconductor manufacturing processes.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in a global cross-functional environment.
