Job Summary

Job Description

As a SoC Design for Testing (DFT) Engineer at Google Cloud, you'll be responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced DFT methodologies for highly digital or mixed-signal chips or IPs. Key responsibilities include defining silicon test strategies and DFT architecture, creating DFT specifications for a CPU, designing, inserting, and verifying DFT logic, preparing for post-silicon activities, and collaborating with test engineers. You'll play a crucial role in reducing test costs, enhancing production quality, and improving yield. This role involves developing DFT strategies, inserting DFT logic (boundary scan, scan chains, etc.), working with MBIST logic, documenting DFT architecture, and collaborating on silicon bring-up and debug activities. The work contributes directly to the development of custom silicon solutions for Google's direct-to-consumer products.
Must have:
  • Bachelor's degree in EE or related field
  • 2+ years DFT experience
  • ASIC DFT synthesis, simulation, verification
  • EDA test tools (Spyglass, Tessent)
  • DFT strategy and architecture development
  • MBIST implementation
  • Test documentation
Good to have:
  • Master's degree in EE
  • Fault modeling experience
  • IP integration experience
  • ATE engineer collaboration
  • SoC cycle experience (silicon bring-up, debug)

Job Details


Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience with Design For Test (DFT) methodologies, DFT verification, and industry-standard DFT tools.
  • Experience with ASIC DFT synthesis, simulation, and verification flow.
  • Experience using Electronic Design Automation (EDA) test tools (e.g., Spyglass, Tessent, etc.).

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • Experience in fault modeling.
  • Experience in IP integration (e.g., Memories, Test Controllers, Test Access Point (TAP), and Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST)).
  • Experience working with ATE engineers (e.g., silicon bring-up, patterns generation, debug, validation on automatic test equipment, debug of silicon issues).
  • Experience in SoC cycles, including silicon bring-up and silicon debug activities.

About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. 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 a System on a Chip (SoC) Design for Testing (DFT) Engineer you will be responsible for defining, implementing and deploying advanced DFT methodologies for highly digital or mixed-signal chips or IPs. You will define silicon test strategies, DFT architecture, and create DFT specifications for a CPU. You will design, insert and verify the DFT logic.You will prepare for post silicon and co-work/debug with test engineers. You will be responsible for reducing test cost, increasing production quality and enhancing yield.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

  • Develop DFT strategy and architecture (e.g., hierarchical DFT, Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG).
  • Complete all Test Design Rule Checks (TDRC) and 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.
  • Insert and hook up MBIST logic including test collar around memories, MBIST controllers, eFuse logic, and connect to core and TAP interfaces.
  • Document DFT architecture, test sequences, and boot-up sequences associated with test pins.
