About the job
In this role, you’ll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will have an opportunity to drive cutting-edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You’ll be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU architecture and its integration within AI/ML-driven systems.
Responsibilities
Develop and document DFT strategy, architecture and test sequences, including hierarchical DFT, MBIST, ATPG and I/JTAG, and associated boot up and execution sequences.
Complete all Test Design Rule Checks (TDRC) and design changes to fix TDRC violations to achieve high test quality.
Develop diagnostic databases, software and hardware for logic and memory fail debug.
Design and implement system level test strategy.
Implement core DFT circuitry, including insertion and hook-up of scan chains, DFT Compression, Logic BIST, TAP controllers, and Memory BIST (MBIST) logic for IP blocks.
Qualifications
Minimum
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience in DFT architecture, implementation, and verification for SoCs.
Experience in silicon bring-up, debug, or validation of DFT features.
Experience with industry-standard test methodologies and platforms, such as (but not limited to) ATE, MBIST, JTAG, or System Level Test (SLT).
Preferred
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
10 years of experience in DFT architecture, implementation, and verification for SoCs.
Experience with various fault models (e.g., Stuck-at, Transition, Cell-Aware, Path Delay, etc.).
Experience in DFT flow, including architecture, IP integration (e.g., Test controllers, TAP, MBIST), and interaction with synthesis and verification flows.
Experience with industry-leading EDA tools for DFT, such as Synopsys (e.g., Design Compiler, DFT Max) or Siemens EDA (e.g., Tessent, TestKompress).
Knowledge of test standards (e.g., IEEE 1149.1, 1687) and test data formats (e.g., BSDL, STIL).
