About the job
As a System on a Chip (SoC) Design for Test (DFT) Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, implementing, and deploying advanced DFT methodologies for digital or mixed-signal chips. You will define silicon test strategies, DFT architecture, and create DFT specifications for next generation SoCs. You will design, insert, and verify the DFT logic and prepare for post silicon and co-work/debug with test engineers.
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
- Develop DFT strategy and architecture (e.g., hierarchical DFT, Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), 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.
