Sr. Staff Silicon Development Engineer
Role Summary
Member of the Radeon Technologies Group front-end design/integration team responsible for implementing and verifying design-for-test (DFT) features and supporting silicon bring-up and yield learning. Work closely with architecture, IP design, physical design, and product engineering to achieve first-pass silicon success.
Position is based in San Jose, CA with a hybrid work model.
Experience Level
Senior-level. Years of experience not specified.
Responsibilities
Primary duties focus on DFT implementation, ATPG, verification, and post-silicon support.
- Implement and verify DFT architecture and features.
- Perform scan insertion and ATPG pattern generation.
- Verify ATPG patterns using gate-level simulation.
- Analyze test coverage and test cost; recommend reductions.
- Provide post-silicon support for bring-up and yield improvement.
- Collaborate with architecture, IP, physical design, and product teams to ensure silicon success.
Requirements
Core technical skills and behaviors required for the role.
- Experience with DFT implementation and verification (scan insertion, ATPG, gate-level simulation, test coverage analysis).
- Hands-on experience with simulation tools and scripting (e.g., VCS; Perl or shell scripting).
- Practical experience with Verilog RTL and silicon bring-up/debug.
- Demonstrated attention to detail, strong communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Post-silicon debug and yield analysis experience.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with Mentor testkompress and/or Synopsys Tetramax/DFTMAX.
- Familiarity with IEEE1500, JTAG 1149.x, and memory BIST.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering is specified.
