Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 5 years of experience in RTL design and/or chip design specification.
- 5 years of experience in Design-for-Test and/or Design-for-Reliability specification.
Preferred qualifications:
- Doctoral degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering.
- Experience with ATE and/or in-system bring up for DFX such as test pattern setup/debug, Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) issues, redundancy, and repair scheme setup and validation.
- Experience with IP integration (memories, Test controllers, TAP, LBIST), silicon bring-up and debug.
- Experience using EDA Test tools (i.e. Design Compiler, DFT Max, SpyGlass, Modus, Tessent, TestKompress).
- Experience in data analytics across the supply chain (i.e. manufacturing, assembly, test and in-field operation, etc.).
- Experience in software development (i.e. Python, C/++) for test utilities drivers, data processing, etc.
About the job
Our computational challenges are so big, complex and unique we can’t just purchase off-the-shelf hardware, we’ve got to make it ourselves. Your team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google’s services. As a Hardware Engineer, you design and build the systems that are the heart of the world’s largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You develop from the lowest levels of circuit design to large system design and see those systems all the way through to high volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers affecting millions of Google users.
With your technical expertise, you lead projects in multiple areas of expertise (i.e., engineering domains or systems) within a data center facility, including construction and equipment installation/troubleshooting/debugging with vendors.
As an SoC Design for X Engineer on the Silicon Development team, you will be responsible for defining, implementing, deploying, and using advanced design-for-test (DFT), built-in-self-test (BIST), design-for-reliability (DFR) and design-for-yield (DFY) methodologies for highly-complex digital and mixed-signal chips and IP’s.
You will be a valued member of the team that implements and uses these methodologies to enable high-fault coverage at Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and system-level testing as well as in-field monitoring, and, by partnering with chip architects, you’ll contribute to the development of new chip architectures employing fault detection and fault tolerance for high-chip quality and reliability while also optimizing trade-offs vs. test time, chip area and total cost of ownership.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google’s product portfolio possible. We’re proud to be our engineers’ engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Responsibilities
- Architect DFX strategy, including Design-for-Test, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST, and Functional BIST subsystems, extend to include Design-for-Reliability.
- Partner with chip architects to develop and implement functional redundancy and fault tolerance schemes and extend/adapt DFX strategies as necessary.
- Realize DFX strategy in RTL and work with chip architects, design teams, and DFX teams for chip implementation, verification, and validation.
- Work directly with external vendors involved in implementing DFX features and test vectors, and verify test logic/operation on ATE and in system.
