Senior DFT Engineer

Come be a part of new process technology adoption by joining NVIDIA's Advanced Technology Group! Work as part of the advanced technology team to optimize design tradeoffs and methodology on next generation CMOS technology. We are looking for a Senior DFT Engineer to join our dynamic and growing team! If you are problem solver and highly motivated individual searching for a collaborative and exciting role, join us today. We encourage applicants with a history of proven success working in a multicultural and diverse environment.

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities which are hard to solve, that only we can pursue, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence.

What you'll be doing:

• You will be responsible for all aspects of testing including methodology, logic insertion, verification, test pattern generation, test program bring-up, and complex debug/FA to resolve any issues.

• Finding the right tradeoffs between test time and the ability to collect necessary data to monitor the health of next generation process nodes.

• Work as part of the team to design and tapeout advanced packaging vehicles.

• Assist with finding the root cause of product bring-up testing issues

What we need to see:

• Hold a BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.

• 12+ years experience in design for test.

• In-depth knowledge of various test architectures including IEEE1149.1, IEEE1500, SSN scan compression, IOBIST, and memory BIST.

• Expertise in test logic design verification and pattern generation. This includes developing new flows and enhancing existing flows.

• Experience in doing ATE test program development and bring-up including spec'ing custom test methods needed for data collection.

• Hands-on knowledge of industry standard DFT EDA tools.

• Proficiency in programming and scripting languages, such as Python.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with DDR and HBM high speed I/O testing.

• Hands on experience with failure analysis equipment like LVP, photon emission, and ebeam probing.

• Proficiency with Advantest 93k testers.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and talented people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you.
