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.

As the DFT Senior Engineer, you will play a crucial role in DFT Architecture and DFT design, and support devices of extreme complexity to production. You will be responsible for providing technical leadership in DFT, developing flows, automation, and methodology, planning DFT activities, tracking the DFT quality matrix throughout the project lifecycle, and providing sign-off DFT to tapeout.

The ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization at Google designs, implements, and manages the hardware, software, machine learning, and systems infrastructure for all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. Our end users are Googlers, Cloud customers and the billions of people who use Google services around the world.

We prioritize security, efficiency, and reliability across everything we do - from developing our latest TPUs to running a global network, while driving towards shaping the future of hyperscale computing. Our global impact spans software and hardware, including Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the leading AI platform for bringing Gemini models to enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute activities in the design, implementation, and verification of DFT solutions for large-scale Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC).
  • Develop DFT strategy and architecture, including hierarchical DFT, Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), and Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG).
  • Work with other Engineering teams (e.g., Design, Verification, Physical Design) to ensure that DFT requirements are met and mutual dependencies are managed.
  • Manage the DFT team's workload and deliverables, provide technical leadership and guidance to the team.
  • Lead DFT execution of a silicon project - planning, execution, tracking, quality, and signoff.
