What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and Qualify system level DFT features on our GPU's and SOC's. Prototype DFT features on silicon, analyze return on investment, create/maintain feature bring-up plans , maintain schedule and alignment across various teams.

• Lead debug efforts from HW side to root cause feature sequence bugs, silicon bugs and complex system level issues caused by interactions between multiple HW and SW features.

• Craft creative solutions and WARs through lab experimentation and effective use of debug tools, to achieve high product quality at speed of light schedules.

• Support manufacturing and customer facing teams to expertly address production needs and issues on the relevant features.

• Work closely and proactively with other engineering teams such as DFT design team, system architects, chip and board designers, software/firmware engineers, HW/SW QA teams and Applications engineering teams to drive design, development, debug and release of next generations products.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in Electrical or Computer engineering or equivalent experience.

• 12+ years of proven experience with system level post silicon bring-up and debug.

• Experience in Silicon DFT bring up/validation. Experience in optimizing quality of silicon vs other trade offs like cost.

• Strong EE fundamentals, knowledgeable in DFT, digital design, computer architecture, power analysis, timing analysis, fault analysis, sampling, statistics, and scripting.

• Deep understanding of firmware/driver structures and their interaction with hardware.

• Working knowledge of PVT dependencies and binning methodologies.

• Knowledgeable in performance and power management techniques such as DVFS, clock and power gating, clock sequencing, binning, and power throttling.

• Hands-on validation experience with lab debug and tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers).

• Effective in a collaborative environment.

• Excellent problem solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.

Crowd:

• DFT experience specifically in system test features for in field test.

• Bringup experience with GPU/SOC architecture is a plus.

• Past experience as a Silicon Bring up Lead.

• Experience of succeeding in a highly matrix organization.

• Driven process/methodology improvements.
