Senior Silicon SoC Design for DFT (Design for Testability) Lead

Silicon SoC DFT Design lead, Google cloud

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience in DFT domain.
• 8 years of experience using electronic design automation (EDA) test tools (e.g., Spyglass, Tessent, Synopsys).
• Experience with ASIC DFT synthesis, STA, simulation, and verification flow.
• Experience working with ATE engineers (e.g., silicon bring-up, patterns generation, debug, validation on automatic test equipment, and debug of silicon issues, etc.).

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience leading the DFT implementations.
• Experience in managing or mentoring the team technically.
• Experience with advanced technology nodes (5nm/3nm), 2.5D/3D-IC packaging, or high-speed I/O (SerDes/DDR) testing methodologies.
• Experience managing global technical teams and driving vendor engagement.
• Ability to drive cross-functional timing closure, power analysis, and IR-drop mitigation for high-frequency designs.
