Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

The Cores Organization develops high-performance CPU cores and cache technologies that power AMD's server, client, and gaming products. We are seeking a DFT/ATPG Design and Test Engineer to support the development and manufacturing readiness of next-generation cores and caches.

In this role, you will own scan test pattern delivery, support product test bring-up, improve scan architecture and coverage, and partner closely with design, physical design, and product test teams to solve complex technical challenges and improve product quality.

THE PERSON:

You are an analytical, detail-oriented engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and driving continuous improvement. You take ownership of long-term deliverables, communicate effectively across teams, and challenge established approaches to improve quality and execution. You are eager to expand your knowledge of CPU and cache technologies and thrive in a collaborative environment that values innovation, learning, and technical growth.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Own the generation, validation, and delivery of scan test patterns for next-generation CPU cores and caches.
  • Partner with product test teams during test bring-up and troubleshoot pattern, model, and netlist issues.
  • Improve scan architecture, scan coverage, test models, execution methods, and overall product quality.
  • Perform ATPG pattern and gate-level netlist analysis to identify and resolve testability and coverage issues.
  • Collaborate with physical design engineers to support design closure through static timing, clock-domain crossing, netlist, and power analysis.
  • Address DFT requirements for high-frequency CPU designs while minimizing performance impact.
  • Resolve complex interactions between intellectual property and system-on-chip design environments across global teams.
  • Develop and implement improvements that simplify design complexity and strengthen engineering quality.
  • Contribute to the continued evolution of CPU cache array and DFT design practices.


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Experience with design-for-test methodologies, particularly scan test and automatic test pattern generation.
  • Strong working knowledge of industry-standard ATPG tools and their application to pattern generation, fault coverage, and product quality.
  • Experience debugging ATPG patterns, scan structures, test models, and gate-level netlists.
  • Understanding of IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan, IEEE 1500 embedded core test, and memory built-in self-test concepts.
  • Experience with multi-clock and multi-power-domain designs.
  • Familiarity with static timing analysis, clock-domain crossing analysis, static power analysis, and physical design closure.
  • Experience adapting standard DFT tools or methods to meet the performance requirements of complex, high-frequency designs.
  • CPU or cache architecture experience is preferred; strong DFT candidates from related ASIC environments may also be considered.
  • Demonstrated success collaborating across design, physical design, product engineering, and geographically distributed teams.
  • Interest in continuous improvement and in developing broader expertise across CPU, cache, and silicon design disciplines.


ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field is preferred.
