DFT Engineer

Job Title

DFT Engineer

Role Summary

Member of the AMD EPYC Server team responsible for ensuring quality of next-generation EPYC SoCs through structural DFT, ATPG and LBIST techniques. The role interfaces with Architecture, Design, PD and Product Engineering teams to deliver manufacturing test patterns and support silicon bring-up.

Experience Level

Level: Senior. Guidance: 9+ years of DFT experience (role requires substantial DFT/ATPG experience).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with Architecture to define and validate DFT architecture and implementation.
• Interface with design teams to ensure DFT design rules and guidelines are met.
• Work with PD teams to ensure correct DFT implementation and support timing closure.
• Generate manufacturing test patterns for stuck-at and transition fault models, using on-chip test compression techniques.
• Simulate and verify ATPG and LBIST patterns.
• Analyze ATPG coverage and drive required design changes to maximize coverage.
• Deliver manufacturing test patterns and support silicon bring-up and debug with Product Engineering teams.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain scripts and automation for DFT/ATPG flows.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications and skills:

• Exposure to DFT architecture and design.
• Practical experience with ATPG tools (Mentor TK).
• Experience with static timing analysis and timing closure.
• Strong hands-on debug skills and scripting ability.
• Good communication skills and ability to work in a global team environment.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with LBIST, on-chip test compression techniques, and silicon bring-up debug.

Education Requirements

B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (as listed in the posting).
