Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

As a DFT Architect you will drive DFT architecture definitions of Scan, MBIST, PHY, high-speed/high-density IOs, communication controllers and FPGA logics of future AMD products. The role involves working with design architecture, design DFT/DFX, design block owners and physical design teams with ATE manufacturing environment, silicon debug, product quality and test cost perspectives. The DFT architect is expected to apply past technical knowledge, learn new cutting-edge technologies and collaborate with teams to arrive at best manufacturable solution. The DFT architect will ensure that DFT implementation is completed by architecture design specifications. This is the role of overseeing early architecture design definition to successful silicon high-volume production.

THE PERSON:

We are looking for candidates that can communicate complex engineering subjects effectively to cross functioning technical teams and upper management. Strong DFT and leadership skills will be put to good use. Successful DFT architects interact with many external teams and must confidently represent his/her organization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Promote ATE & production test environment, test cost and test quality enhancements in future AMD products through DFT architecture definitions and specifications
  • Manage DFT activities across architecture, design implementation, verification, and test implementation for new products.
  • The role is in AMD global quality and operation organization driving best manufacturing test solution through early product definition and pre & post silicon activities
  • Work closely with design teams and make sure DFT structures are correctly implemented.
  • Drive internal DFT teams to correctly implement and create test solutions
  • Drive firmware driven test solutions
  • Plan for diagnosability and yield improvement

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Significant DFT engineering experience through DFT pre and post silicon cycles
  • Experience in creating and implementing complex chip-level DFT architecture
  • Experience in DFT implementation including Scan and Scan Compression at IP and SoC level
  • Experience with DFT tools, ATPG (Stuck-At, At-Speed, Path-Delay) and scan compression.
  • Strong MBIST knowledge
  • Experience in PHY, high-speed IO, digital communication and functional test development
  • Knowledge of Tessent Streaming Scan Network SSN and hand-on experience is a big plus
  • Good understanding of Verilog, synthesis, physical implementation and STA
  • Good understanding of verification methodology
  • Knowledge of FPGA logic, synthesis and design flow is a plus
  • Knowledge of embedded design and firmware methodology is a plus
  • Experience with post-silicon debug and bench equipment (e.g., oscilloscope and logic analyser)
  • Good communication skills and works well in a group environment that spans across continents

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • MS or Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering
