DFT Architect

About the role

The Role At AMD, you will drive DFT architecture definitions of Scan, MBIST, PHY, high-speed/high-density IOs, communication controllers and FPGA logics of future AMD products. You will work with design architecture, design DFT/DFX, design block owners and physical design teams with ATE manufacturing environment, silicon debug, product quality and s cost perspectives. The DFT architect is expected to apply past technical knowledge, learn new cutting-edge technologies and collaborate with teams to arrive at best manufacturable solution. The DFT architect will ensure that DFT implementation is completed by architecture design specifications. This is the role of overseeing early architecture design definition to successful silicon high-volume production.

Responsibilities

• Promote ATE & production s environment, s cost and s quality enhancements in future AMD products through DFT architecture definitions and specifications
• Manage DFT activities across architecture, design implementation, verification, and s implementation for new products
• The role is in AMD global quality and operation organization driving best manufacturing s solution through early product definition and pre & post silicon activities
• Work closely with design teams and make sure DFT structures are correctly implemented
• Drive internal DFT teams to correctly implement and create s solutions
• Drive firmware driven s solutions
• Plan for diagnosability and yield improvement

Requirements

• Significant DFT engineering experience through DFT pre and post silicon cycles
• Experience in creating and implementing complex chip-level DFT architecture
• Experience in DFT implementation including Scan and Scan Compression at IP and SoC level
• Experience with DFT tools, ATPG (Stuck-At, At-Speed, Path-Delay) and scan compression
• Strong MBIST knowledge
• Experience with PHY, high-speed IO, digital communication and functional s development
• Good understanding of Verilog, synthesis, physical implementation and STA
• Good understanding of verification methodology
• Knowledge of FPGA logic, synthesis and design flow is a plus
• Knowledge of embedded design and firmware methodology is a plus
• Experience with post-silicon debug and bench equipment (e.g., oscilloscope and logic analyser)

Qualifications

• Strong DFT and leadership skills will be put to good use
• Successful DFT architects interact with many external teams and must confidently represent his/her organization

Skills

• Excellent communication skills and works well in a group environment that spans across continents
