The DFP Engineer – Manufacturing role focuses on defining and implementing validation and screening processes for new silicon features in high-volume manufacturing. This position involves translating product requirements into test methodologies and detailed manufacturing test plans to ensure quality and efficiency. The engineer will collaborate with multiple teams to enhance the manufacturing test process throughout the DFP lifecycle. The role emphasizes the integration of AI tools to optimize workflows and improve testing strategies.

• MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience.
• 6+ years in silicon post-silicon validation and/or high-volume manufacturing test for complex SoCs, GPUs, CPUs, or similar.
• Hands-on experience with test content bring-up, limit setting, correlation to characterization, and yield/coverage optimization.
• Proficiency with scripting and data analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB, R, or SQL.
• Demonstrated ability to drive multi-functional alignment around plans, dependencies, and sign-off criteria.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort authoring structured technical documents and test plans.
• Strong AI-enabled skills and thinking to enhance analysis and documentation.
• Prior ownership of manufacturing test strategy for a major silicon product from early planning through ramp to QS/production.

• Own end-to-end manufacturing test methodology across all test stages.
• Translate system specs and product POR into DFP requirements, test content, coverage, and flows.
• Define and maintain the DFP roadmap, including infrastructure and turning point planning.
• Partner multi-functionally to implement test content, debug hooks, and coverage improvements.
• Drive alignment on manufacturability, test time, binning strategies, and cost vs. coverage trade-offs.
• Embed testability requirements into design to enable robust screening and debug.
• Define data and analytics frameworks to support yield analysis and continuous improvement.
• Lead DFP documentation as the single source of truth and feed findings into future methodologies.
