About the Role
Sambanova is seeking a Principal Design for Test (DFT) Engineer to contribute to the development of state-of-the-art RDU chips for machine learning and artificial intelligence. This role involves hands-on responsibility for DFT architecture, implementation, verification, ATPG, MBIST, and silicon bring-up for complex, high-performance chips.
Responsibilities
- Define and implement block-level and SoC-level DFT architecture for large, hierarchical SoCs.
- Develop and maintain ATPG flows for stuck-at, at-speed, and advanced fault models.
- Develop scripts and automation for DFT insertion, ATPG, coverage analysis, pattern generation, and debug.
- Develop and maintain JTAG, IEEE 1500, and IEEE 1687/IJTAG infrastructure for internal test and debug access.
- Generate production-quality ATPG and MBIST patterns and support deployment to ATE.
- Collaborate with STA and Physical Design teams on DFT timing closure.
- Support silicon diagnosis, failure localization, yield analysis, and manufacturing test optimization.
Requirements
- B.S. in computer science, computer engineering, or related field.
- 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Deep understanding of scan insertion, scan compression, ATPG, MBIST, JTAG, and hierarchical DFT.
- Hands-on experience with Siemens Tessent tool flow (preferred) or equivalent industry standard DFT tools.
- Familiarity with cell-aware ATPG, small-delay defects, IEEE 1500, IEEE 1687/IJTAG, and low-power DFT is highly desirable.
- Strong understanding of advanced ATPG, silicon diagnosis, and failure localization methodologies.
- Experience with STA constraints & analysis for DFT modes & SDF simulations.
- Working knowledge of Verilog/System-Verilog simulators & waveform debugging.
