Job description

The ASIC DFT Design Engineer will be part 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 like AWS Inferentia and Trainium systems. The engineer will ensure high design quality while making trade-offs in the development of advanced DFT architectures. Collaboration with block designers and physical design teams is essential to implement efficient DFT solutions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field.
  • 5+ years of practical DFT experience with complex SoC designs in advanced technology nodes.
  • Experience with standard tools and practices in DFT, including ATPG, JTAG, and MBIST.
  • Experience with automation script development.
  • Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field is preferred.
  • Practical experience developing STA constraints for DFT modes.
  • Experience with RTL coding and design verification flows.
  • Experience with gate-level simulation setup and debug with SDF.
  • Strong programming and scripting skills in Perl, Python, or Tcl.
  • Practical experience with silicon debug and yield optimization.

Responsibilities

  • Define and develop state-of-the-art Design for Test (DFT) architectures for advanced technology nodes.
  • Work closely with block designers and the physical design team to implement highly efficient DFT solutions.
  • Perform RTL coding and verification using Verilog/System Verilog.
  • Utilize industry standard DFT tools to create high coverage and cost-effective test patterns.
  • Participate in silicon debug efforts alongside ATE and system teams.
  • Communicate and collaborate with team members across multiple disciplines.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
