Job description

As a Senior DFT Engineer at NVIDIA, you will develop and implement advanced Design for Test (DFT) architecture for next-generation AI chips. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to apply innovative DFT methodologies, ensuring the delivery of high-quality products. This role offers the opportunity to work in a diverse and supportive environment, contributing to the revolution of AI technology. Your expertise will help drive the creation of test vectors and optimize DFT implementation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or M.S. in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of industry experience in DFT for high-performance ASICs.
  • Practical experience with SCAN/MBIST/Test generation tools and processes for large SoC/ASIC.
  • Domain expertise in DFT techniques such as ATPG, test pattern translation, yield learning, scan compression, MBIST, IEEE 1500 standard, and LBIST.
  • Familiarity with ATPG Streaming SCAN Network (SSN) implementation.
  • Experience with UDFMs like Cell Aware and Small Delay Defect.
  • Consistent track record in yield estimation and test optimization.
  • Experience working with real silicon in the lab and debugging DFT test sequences on ATE.
  • Solid understanding of RTL to GDS methodologies and formal equivalence.
  • Excellent coding skills in Tcl and Python.
  • Outstanding interpersonal and organizational skills.

Responsibilities

  • Define and implement SCAN, MBIST, and JTAG debug structures using sophisticated DFT techniques.
  • Drive the creation of ATPG and MBIST test vectors.
  • Build DFT timing constraints and collaborate with the Physical Design and STA sign-off team for timing closure.
  • Work closely with the post-silicon team to bring up test patterns on silicon.
  • Collaborate with the CAD methodology team to introduce AI-driven optimizations for DFT implementation.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
