About the job

Be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

In this role, you will play a crucial role in Design for Testing (DFT), and support devices to production. You will be responsible for developing flows, automation, and methodology, executing DFT activities. You will be responsible for testing vectors end to end, from generating DFT content, debugging to coverage goals, simulating it at gate level, sign-off DFT to tapeout, and debugging results.
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

• Execute activities in the design, implementation, and verification of Design for Testing (DFT) solutions for Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASICs).
• Develop DFT strategy for hierarchical DFT, Scan, and Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG).
• Perform ATPG scan, cover debug and motivate design fixes for coverage and quality improvements.
• Perform scan verification at Register-Transfer Level (RTL) and gate level.
• Work with other Engineering teams (e.g., Design, Verification, Physical Design) to ensure that DFT Scan requirements are met and mutual dependencies are managed.
