ASIC/SoC Silicon Test Engineer
GoogleJob Title
ASIC/SoC Silicon Test Engineer
Role Summary
Join Google's AI and Infrastructure team to develop and implement post-silicon test solutions for Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). The role focuses on silicon bring-up, verification, characterization, qualification, and production test support for high-performance SoCs.
Experience Level
Mid-level — approximately 5 years of relevant test or product engineering experience is expected.
Responsibilities
The core responsibilities include:
- Define and implement silicon test requirements with internal design teams and external vendors.
- Lead SoC NPI activities: bring-up, verification, characterization, and qualification support.
- Develop and optimize test coverage; troubleshoot silicon test failures and issues.
- Apply ATE expertise to improve test quality and support test program development.
- Collaborate with design, DFT, and quality teams to establish post-silicon testing best practices.
- Support production with test program upgrades, volume data analytics, and yield-improvement efforts.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred technical qualifications:
- Must: ~5 years of experience in test engineering or product engineering, with hands-on ASIC/SoC test development, bring-up, or debug experience.
- Must: Experience supporting chip production, test program upgrades, and using volume data for yield improvement.
- Must: Practical experience with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) — familiarity with vendors such as Advantest or Teradyne.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with scan/ATPG development, memory BIST, and testing IPs (PLLs, PVT sensors, eFuse).
- Nice-to-have: Extensive experience in silicon quality, reliability, or broader product engineering (examples cited up to 10 years for senior roles).
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. A Master’s degree in a related technical field is preferred.
