About the job

As the Design for Test (DFT) Engineer Lead, you will play a crucial role in DFT Architecture and DFT design, and support devices to production. You will be responsible for providing technical leadership in DFT, developing flows, automation, and methodology, planning DFT activities, tracking the DFT quality throughout the project life-cycle, and providing sign-off DFT to tapeout.

In this role, you will work to shape the future of an Edge-AI product, bringing high-performance intelligence to the edge. You will have an opportunity to drive distributed inference technology that powers real-time systems where latency and reliability are mission-critical.

You will be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing autonomous solutions that define the next-generation of intelligent infrastructure and hardware for the edge. You will contribute to the innovation behind products that transform industries, leveraging your expertise in system-level integration and localized processing to deploy AI models across sophisticated hardware platforms, ensuring intelligence is embedded exactly where the action happens.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Responsibilities

• Drive and execute DFT activities in the design, implementation, and verification solutions for application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
• Develop DFT strategy and architecture, including hierarchical DFT, memory built-in self test (MBIST), and automatic test pattern generation (ATPG).
• Collaborate with other Engineering teams (e.g., Design, Verification, Physical Design) to ensure that DFT requirements are met and mutual dependencies are managed.
• Oversee DFT team planning, deliverables, and provide technical mentoring and guidance.
• Lead DFT execution of a silicon project, planning, execution, tracking, quality, and signoff.
