THE PERSON: You have excellent communication and presentation skills, demonstrated through technical publications, presentations, trainings, executive briefings, etc. You are highly adept at collaboration among top-thinkers and engineers alike, ready to mentor and guide, and help to elevate the knowledge and skills of the team around you. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead DFT Strategy and Implementation Develop and execute comprehensive DFT strategies for CPU core projects, ensuring robust testability and manufacturability. Develop and Optimize Test Architectures Design and implement advanced test architectures, including scan insertion, BIST (Built-In Self-Test), LBIST (Logic Built-In Self-Test), and MBIST (Memory Built-In Self-Test), to enhance test coverage and efficiency. Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams Work closely with design, verification, and physical design teams to integrate DFT requirements seamlessly into the overall design process. Lead Cross-Site Collaboration Coordinate with teams across multiple locations to ensure cohesive and unified DFT strategies, promoting effective communication and collaboration. Create and Validate Test Patterns Generate and validate test patterns for both manufacturing and in-field testing, ensuring high-quality and reliable CPU cores. Analyze and Debug Test Failures Investigate and resolve test failures, providing innovative solutions to improve test coverage, yield, and overall product quality. Conduct Post-Silicon Debugging Perform post-silicon debugging to identify and rectify issues in manufactured silicon, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of CPU cores. Mentor Junior Engineers Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering their development in DFT techniques and best practices. Stay Updated with Latest Technologies Continuously monitor advancements in DFT technologies and methodologies, integrating cutting-edge solutions into the team's workflow. Interface with External Vendors Collaborate with external vendors and partners to ensure the successful integration of DFT solutions into the manufacturing process. Research and Contribute to Patents Engage in research activities, publish findings in reputable journals, and contribute to the development of patents in the field of CPU core design and DFT methodologies PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Experience with industry-standard DFT tools and methodologies. Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes. Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or Perl. Experience with low-power design techniques. Outstanding foundation in Systems & SoC architecture, with expertise in one or more of the following: CPU or GPU, Memory sub-system, Fabrics, CPU/GPU coherency, Multimedia, I/O subsystems, Clocks, Resets, Virtualization and Security Experience analyzing CPU, GPU or System-level Micro-Architectural features to identify performance bottlenecks within different workloads Demonstrated expertise in power management microarchitecture, low power design and power optimization, along with power impact at architecture, logic design, and circuit levels Excellent communication, management, and presentation skills. Adept at collaboration among top-thinkers and senior architects with strong interpersonal skills to work across teams in different geographies ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related one. 15-18 years of experience in DFT, with a focus on CPU core design. Proven track record of leading DFT projects from concept to production. Deep understanding of DFT techniques such as scan insertion, ATPG, BIST, LBIST, and MBIST. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex test issues. Excellent communication and leadership skills. Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment #LI-RR1 #LI-HYBRID CTERR1 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
