DFT Engineer, Amazon Leo

Job Title

DFT Engineer, Amazon Leo

Role Summary

Design and implement design-for-test (DFT) architecture for SoCs used in Amazon LEO satellite communications. Work with ASIC, RFIC, implementation, and test teams to define DFT strategies for modems, high-speed interfaces, embedded processors, and DSP solutions in advanced CMOS nodes.

Deliver DFT solutions (MBIST, clock controls, JTAG) and automation to meet timing, power, and test coverage targets for mixed-signal satellite chips.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early Career - requires 2+ years of experience in advanced DFT techniques for deep sub-micron nodes.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include architecting and integrating DFT solutions and supporting test and bring-up activities.

• Architect and define DFT solutions tailored to LEO SoCs.
• Contribute to IP customization and DFT methodology; adopt AI-enabled automation flows.
• Integrate DFT logic (MBIST, clock controls, JTAG) with ASIC design teams across sites.
• Collaborate with RFIC teams to maximize fault coverage for custom RF blocks.
• Ensure blocks meet DFT, timing, and power targets with implementation teams.
• Translate ATE patterns to tester formats and support test engineering during digital bring-up.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and eligibility.

• 2+ years experience with advanced DFT techniques for deep sub-micron nodes.
• Experience implementing DFT methodology and developing automated scripts for DFT insertion and validation.
• Knowledge of MBIST, clock control strategies, and JTAG controllers.
• Experience working with test engineering and translating ATE patterns to tester formats.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with RFIC and mixed-signal engineering teams.
• Export control eligibility: U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident (Green Card), refugee, or asylee.

Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to Logic BIST and automotive reliability standards (single-digit DPPM targets).
• Experience developing AI/ML-based automation for DFT implementation workflows.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field required. Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field preferred. Fields noted: Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, and related technical disciplines.

Compensation: Base salary range listed at $153,600–$215,000 USD annually. Package may include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs); Amazon offers comprehensive benefits (Benefits).

Los Angeles County applicants: pursuant to the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance, qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records will be considered.
