Senior DFT Engineer

We are seeking a Senior DFT Engineer to join our Design-for-Test Engineering team at NVIDIA. As a member of this team, you will work on groundbreaking innovations involving crafting creative solutions for DFT architecture, verification, and post-silicon validation on some of the industry's most complex semiconductor chips.

The successful candidate will own and work with cross-functional teams, implementing state-of-the-art designs in test access mechanisms, IO BIST, memory BIST, and scan compression. You will help develop and deploy DFT methodologies for our next-generation products.

Key responsibilities include:

• Defining, prototyping, and deploying next-generation DFX architectures and methodologies across all our products
• Crafting key DFX architecture and methodologies to meet system-level safety diagnostic test quality, in-field test quality, advanced defect screening, and diagnosis to enable SLM for automotive, industrial, and robotics safety platforms
• Collaborating with multi-functional teams like system architecture, chip architecture, ASIC design, verification, CAD, VLSI, SW development, and Operations teams to productize new methodologies
• Delivering efficient workflows and tools to help productize these features on industry-leading processors for deep learning, gaming, HPC, and supercomputing
• Mentoring junior engineers on test designs and trade-offs, including cost and quality

Requirements:

• BSEE (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years, MSEE with 5+ years of experience, or PhD with 3+ years in DFT or related domains
• Demonstrated knowledge and expertise in defining scan test plans, BIST including memories and IOs, fault modeling, ATPG, and fault simulation
• Excellent analytical skills in verification and validation of test patterns and logic on complex and multi-million gate designs using vendor tools
• Good exposure to cross-functional areas, including RTL & clocks design, STA, place-n-route, and power, to ensure we are making the right trade-offs
• Experience in Silicon debug and bring-up on the ATE with an understanding of pattern formats, failure processing, and test program development
• Strong programming and scripting skills in Perl, Python, or Tcl desired
• Extraordinary written and oral communication skills with the curiosity to work on rare challenges

NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
