DFT Engineer, Graviton Team

Job Title

DFT Engineer, Graviton Team

Role Summary

Design and verify design-for-test (DFT) architectures and test patterns for Graviton-class semiconductor platforms developed by Annapurna Labs within AWS. The role focuses on improving chip testability, enabling robust silicon bring-up, and supporting device diagnostics for cloud-scale compute platforms.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 3+ years of experience as a DFT engineer in a semiconductor company.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include DFT architecture, verification, and support for silicon bring-up.

• Design and implement DFT architectures for complex SoCs and platform chips.
• Develop high-quality test and debug patterns to ensure production test robustness.
• Perform static timing analysis across DFT modes and ensure timing closure where applicable.
• Verify DFT logic and components using simulation and emulation platforms.
• Support silicon bring-up, device diagnostics, and post-silicon failure analysis.
• Collaborate with chip design, verification, and validation teams to integrate DFT solutions.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience required for successful performance in this role. Preferred skills are listed separately.

• Must-have: 3+ years of hands-on DFT engineering experience in a semiconductor company.
• Must-have: Practical experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog for DFT implementation and verification.
• Must-have: Experience with scan insertion tools, ATPG flows, and gate-level simulation.
• Must-have: Familiarity with verification platforms (UVM), FPGA and emulator environments for DFT validation.
• Must-have: Scripting skills for automation and tooling (examples: Perl, Tcl).
• Preferred: Advanced knowledge of verification platforms, extensive FPGA/emulator experience, and deep familiarity with ATPG and streaming-scan network concepts.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
