About the job

In this role, you’ll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will have an opportunity to drive cutting-edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You’ll be part of a diverse team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU architecture and its integration within AI/ML-driven systems.

Google’s data centers are the most advanced in the world. In this role you will help build System on a Chips (SoC) that power these data centers by developing and deploying comprehensive test solutions with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for New Product Introduction (NPI) and High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) at wafer fabs and Outsourced Assembly and Tests (OSAT). This is an opportunity to create silicon and follow it into the field to close the loop back to design and test for the next generations of chips.

You will help to integrate SoC technologies into devices and drive ATE manufacturing testing to validate performance and screen devices. You will own all aspects of testing and work with cross functional teams to ensure the optimal test coverage in production and high quality SoCs.

You will work with various groups to develop tests, automation methodologies, develop/support internal tools for test program generation, vector tracking, test program release, etc. You will also work on releasing cost effective production test solutions into mass production.

Responsibilities

• Participate in ATE test program development for High Volume Manufacturing and Characterization, work with ATE Vendors and internal cross-functional teams.
• Own IP-level test development for Design for Testing (DFT) structural tests, functional tests, or eFuse programming.
• Support Chip-level DFT test development for Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) Scan, Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST), logic and memory diagnostics, logic redundancy analysis, or memory repair.
• Participate in developing and executing strategies for SoC Product NPI, bring-up, verification, characterization, and qualification support, including bench test, troubleshooting, test coverage optimization, new product Defective Parts per Million (DPPM) correlation, and product correlation between system and ATE.
• Back-stop support for production, including test program upgrade and release, volume data analytics, test time reduction and yield improvement, and Return Materials/Merchandise Authorization (RMA) analysis.
