ASIC DFx - MTS Silicon Design Engineer

THE ROLE:

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
• Developing CAD software, scripts and other support technology to enable successful construction of DFT logics in complex SoC design.
• Performing scan insertion, ATPG verification and test pattern generation
• Providing DFT feature bring-up and pattern debug support to production engineering team during first silicon bring-up, qualification and failure analysis.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Minimum 8 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
• Expertise in scan compression architecture, scan insertion and ATPG methodologies are essential.
• Working knowledge and experience in Verilog simulator and waveform debugging tools, proficiency in debugging both RTL and gate level simulations
• Good understanding of RTL quality checks such as SGLINT, SGDFT, CDC, RDC etc
• Good working knowledge of UNIX/Linux and scripting languages (e.g. TCL, c-shell, Perl)
• Good understanding and hands-on experience in the UVM concepts andSystemVeriloglanguage
• Familiar with Verilog design language, Verilog simulator and waveform debugging tools
• Knowledge ofEDA tools/methodology, such as synthesis, equivalency checking, static timing analysis is a plus.
• Understanding various technologies that must work with DFT/DFD technology such as CPU s, memory and I/O controllers, etc. is a plus
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Team player with strong communication skills.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors orMastersdegree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
