Full Job Description
About the department

Central DFX (CDFX) is a centralized ASIC design group within AMD's Technology and Engineering organization. CDFX has a global footprint with design teams located in several AMD offices in North America and Asia. Our mandate is to optimize and standardize design methodology, design and implementation of critical Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) features for complex state-of-the-art APU computing, game console, and GPU graphics products. It is also responsible for DFX design methodology and CAD automation tools development to support the global DFX engineering teams across AMD.

THE PERSON:

You are a senior leader with extensive knowledge and experience across the areas of DFT and testing. You thrive in an environment that is 'Lead by influence' where success is measured by achieving the optimal tradeoff of an often-conflicting set of goals: schedule, Power/Performance/Area, cost and especially quality ( DPPM ). You are looking to nurture deep relationships with Design and Product teams to gather best practices, understand needs, guide the use of tools and flows, and listen to feedback for process improvement. Lastly, you are looking for an opportunity where you can synthesize this input and make a demonstrable impact on a World-Class test strategy; on the innovation of advanced test techniques; on setting industry direction through standards and engagement with the Industry test community; and keeping AMD"s Test Professionals informed and engaged with the creation and execution of a vigorous DFT Roadmap.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Work closely with SOC and PDG teams to drive adoption of and ensure compliance with the company-wide DFT strategy that is continuously aligned with the strategies for the Design, Product Engineering, and Quality functions.
  • Continually and successfully advocate for maintaining testability features while designs work through various stages, ie floor planning, timing closure, etc.
  • Follow up with post-silicon experiments to analyze the effectiveness of DFT features to determine their return on investment to justify ongoing usage.
  • Influence and drive outside partners in the EDA and ATE industries.
  • Evaluate outside available tools and make decisions on Build vs Buy.
  • When Build decisions are made, be able to lead and manage a team to architect and implement the internal solution, then see it through to deployment and maintenance.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Extensive and Senior knowledge in DFT and Testing for semiconductor designs.
  • Proven ability and experience with defining a world-class DFT roadmap strategy.
  • Proven ability to drive enterprise and cross-department collaboration for DFT across a design organization.
  • Proven ability and experience partnering with industry leading EDA and ATE companies.
  • Knowledge with current and industry leading EDA and ATE tools.
  • Experience developing and deploying internal DFT Tools successfully.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field preferred.
