MTS Silicon Design Engineer (DFT Lead)

AECG SSD ASIC is a centralized ASIC design group within AMD s Adaptive and Embedded Computing Organization. The group consists of design teams located in several AMD locations in North America and Asia. It is primarily responsible for architecture, design, and implementation of critical Design-for-Test (DFT) and Design-for-Debug (DFD) features for cutting edge AMD products.

THE PERSON:

As a DFx Silicon Design Engineer, you will be working with a team of design engineers from various global design locations on design-for-test (DFT) design and implementation, tool and methodology development, project execution and continuous improvement initiatives, this role provides an excellent growth opportunity for robust individuals looking to make a difference. This is an exciting time to join the AMD team!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop RTL for ASIC design-for-test (DFT) features as per architectural or design flow automation specifications.
• Perform DFT RTL design integration, insertion, synthesis, equivalency checking, timing analysis and defining constraints, verification of DFx logic at RTL and GLS, ATPG and Scan GLS.
• Work with multi-functional teams and handling schedules
• The successful candidate may also be responsible of:

• Debugging and verifying block-/chip-level DFT/DFX features
• Porting or creating the DFT/DFX verification environment.
• Block/chip test plan creation and development.
• Stimulus writing and debug, and regression clean-up.
• Generating high quality manufacturing test patterns for stuck-at, transition fault models and using on-chip test compression techniques
• Simulating and verifying the ATPG and LBIST patterns
• Working with the product engineering teams on the delivery of manufacturing test patterns.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• 7+ years of DFT or related domains experience, leading DFT efforts for large processor and/or SOC designs is a plus.
• Knowledge of DFT techniques such as JTAG/IEEE standards, Scan and ATPG, memory BIST/repair or Logic BIST
• Good working knowledge of UNIX/Linux and scripting languages (e.g. TCL, c-shell, Perl)
• Familiar with Verilog design language, Verilog simulator and waveform debugging tools
• Knowledge of EDA tools/methodology, such as synthesis, equivalency checking, static timing analysis is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Team player with strong communication skills.
