DFT Lead
Waymo
Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, a fully autonomous ride-hailing service, and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over one million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving tens of millions of miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 13+ U.S. states.
Waymo's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission: We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the fully autonomous vehicle's software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate closely with many other teammates to ensure we design and optimize hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a multidisciplinary team seeking curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world's highest performance automotive compute platforms.
In this role, you will be reporting to the Head of Compute.
You will:
-
Contribute to all aspects of DFT from methodology, scripting, test insertion, sdc constraints, ATPG generation, and pattern delivery in both a lead and hands-on role
-
Collaborate with design teams to meet automotive test targets while minimizing the impact on PPA
-
Architect, define hierarchical test strategy and SoC test interfaces
-
Collaborate with architects, design, fusa, quality and partner teams to optimize for a broad range of constraints
You have:
-
7+ years of experience on DFT/ATPG/Silicon Test in advanced silicon nodes with a minimum of 2 tapeouts
-
Expertise with Scan Based test including compression/decompression, MBIST, LBIST, ATPG, boundary scan, System-Level Test (SLT), and both wafer and package test
-
Experience setting and implementing test methodologies/flows with both internal and external partners including demonstrated scripting ability (Python/TCL)
-
Willing to work time shifted / flexible hours to overlap and coordinate with U.S. team
-
Experience delivering PPA optimal test methodologies that have minimal impact on Physical Design Closure
We prefer:
-
Experience with automotive silicon, including optimization for low DPPM and FIT rates
-
Experience with functional safety and in-field test
-
Experience with Automotive Qual (AEC-Q100) standards
-
Understanding of RTL-to-GDS flows, especially as they pertain to test
-
Experience growing a DFT/ATPG team and working with external vendors or partner teams
