Description For SoC DFT Engineer, Google Cloud

Google Cloud is seeking a System on a Chip (SoC) Design for Test (DFT) Engineer to join their ML, Systems, & Cloud AI (MSCA) organization. This role is crucial in defining, implementing, and deploying advanced DFT methodologies for digital or mixed-signal chips. The position involves working on custom silicon solutions that power Google's direct-to-consumer products, contributing to hardware innovations used by millions worldwide.

The role requires expertise in silicon test strategies, DFT architecture, and creating DFT specifications for next-generation SoCs. You'll be responsible for designing, inserting, and verifying DFT logic, as well as collaborating with test engineers for post-silicon work and debugging.

As part of the MSCA organization, you'll be working on infrastructure that supports all Google services (Search, YouTube, etc.) and Google Cloud. The team prioritizes security, efficiency, and reliability across all projects, from developing TPUs to managing global networks. This position offers the opportunity to shape the future of hyperscale computing and work with cutting-edge technologies like Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform.

The ideal candidate should have strong experience in DFT methodologies, ASIC verification, and industry-standard tools. Knowledge of memory built-in self-test, test access points, and silicon bring-up is highly valued. This role offers the chance to work on innovative hardware solutions while being part of a team that drives Google's technological advancement in cloud computing and AI infrastructure.
