Senior DFT Engineer

About the role

DFT engineer will lead strong engineering team on Scan, MBIST, iJTAG test development of latest AMD products. The IPs range from complex processors, AI computation blocks, to state-of-the-art controller IPs which provide automotive, data center, machine learning and high-speed communication solutions. You will work closely with designers to make sure DFT structures are correctly implemented, with test engineers to make sure ATE test programs can be generated from the DFT (ATPG, MBIST) tools, with product engineers to make sure scan/MBIST production test can run seamlessly and stable, and with yield engineers to debug and root-cause failures/defects. You will get the opportunity to expand technical knowledge beyond DFT into embedded processor firmware, complex chip simulation, RTL implementation for ASIC & FPGA and deep silicon debug works all the way to high-volume production requirement. This is the role to oversee complete silicon cycle from design to production phases. 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 Member of Technical Staff DFT engineer will interact with many external teams and must confidently represent his/her organization.
