The Sr. DFT Design Engineer will be a key member of the Cloud-Scale Machine Learning Acceleration team at AWS, focusing on designing and optimizing hardware for machine learning servers. This role involves working on custom SoCs, including AWS Inferentia and Trainium systems, to ensure high design quality and effective trade-offs. The engineer will collaborate with various teams and mentor junior engineers while managing project timelines and deliverables. The position requires a strong background in semiconductor ASIC design and DFT methodologies.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of practical semiconductor ASIC design work including owning end to end design of major SOC blocks experience
• Knowledge about industry standard tools and practices in DFT, including ATPG, JTAG, MBIST and trade-offs between test quality and test time
• Experience with automation script development
• Experience in RTL coding and debug, as well as performance, power, area analysis and trade-offs
• Experience with modern ASIC/FPGA design and verification tools
• Experience with SOC bring-up and post-silicon validation
• Good breadth of knowledge in chip design from micro-architecture through physical design
• Good knowledge of design verification (DV) simulation methodologies
• Strong programming and scripting skills in Perl, Python or Tcl
• Experience with industry standard DFT/SCAN/ATPG tools
• Experience with STA constraints development and analysis for DFT modes
• Practical experience with silicon debug

• Define and develop state-of-the-art Design for Test (DFT) architectures for advanced technology nodes
• Work closely with block designers and physical design (PD) team to implement highly efficient DFT solutions
• Act as the primary point of contact for cross-functional stakeholders to align schedules and goals
• Mentor and develop junior engineers through code reviews, methodology training, and technical guidance
• Manage project timelines and deliverables, ensuring high-quality DFT implementation from RTL through Silicon bring-up
