DFT Engineer, Graviton Team

Job Title

DFT Engineer, Graviton Team

Role Summary

Design-for-Test (DFT) engineer focused on developing and validating DFT architectures and test infrastructure for AWS/Annapurna Labs Graviton silicon platforms. The role sits on the Graviton hardware team and supports design, verification, and silicon bring-up to ensure production-ready testability and diagnostic capability.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 3+ years of relevant semiconductor DFT experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include designing, verifying, and supporting DFT across the silicon lifecycle.

• Design and implement DFT architectures and scan infrastructure for complex SoCs.
• Develop test and debug patterns to validate manufacturing test coverage and debugability.
• Perform static timing analysis across multiple DFT modes and tool flows.
• Verify DFT logic and components at RTL and gate levels; create validation testbenches.
• Support silicon bring-up, device diagnostics, and failure analysis on hardware.
• Collaborate with RTL, physical design, verification, and manufacturing teams to integrate DFT solutions.
• Automate DFT flows and scripts to improve productivity and repeatability.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• 3+ years of DFT engineering experience in a semiconductor company (must-have).
• Proven experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog for DFT implementation and verification.
• Experience with scan insertion tools, ATPG generation, and gate-level simulation.
• Knowledge of verification platforms and methodologies, including UVM; experience with FPGA and emulator environments.
• Strong scripting skills (Perl, Tcl) for automation of DFT flows.
• Experience supporting silicon bring-up, debug, and diagnostics on real hardware.
• Strong static timing analysis and timing-debug skills in the context of DFT modes.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Tessent Streaming Scan Network (SSN) or similar advanced scan networks.
• Familiarity with cloud-based test infrastructures or in-fleet scan test techniques.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field — or equivalent practical experience. (The posting also specifies equivalent practical experience as acceptable.)
