Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering · Embedded Systems

In short

As a SoC DFT Technical Manager at Google Cloud in Bengaluru, you will lead the development of cutting-edge TPU technology for AI/ML applications. You will define comprehensive DFT architectures, manage the entire DFT lifecycle, and deploy next-generation methodologies to maximize test coverage and minimize test time. This role requires extensive experience in SoC DFT, people management, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Define and document the comprehensive DFT architecture for multi-core SoCs, including strategies for hierarchical scan compression, Memory BIST (MBIST), Functional BISTs, Analog components, Logic BIST, high-speed I/O loopback, and JTAG/IEEE 1149.1/1500/1687/1838 networks.
  • Lead the complete DFT lifecycle from RTL planning to pattern handoff, owning the schedule, resource allocation, and milestone tracking to ensure zero-defect delivery.
  • Deploy next-generation DFT methodologies and automation flows to maximize test coverage, while minimizing test time, pattern count, and silicon area overhead.
  • Collaborate with post silicon team, Physical Design and Power Architects.
  • Support the post-silicon phase to achieve final Production Release Qualification (PRQ).
  • Mentor senior technical staff, drive vendor EDA tool selection/qualification, and act as the primary technical liaison for DFT matters with stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10 years of experience in SoC DFT architecture and design.
  • 10 years of experience in DFT protocols including Scan Compression, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1), and iJTAG (IEEE 1687).
  • 10 years of experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Siemens Tessent, Synopsys TestMAX/SMS, or Cadence Modus.
  • 4 years of people management experience developing employees and leading multiple SoC projects from RTL architecture through to post-silicon validation.
  • Experience in Tcl, Python, or Perl for developing automation flows.

Desired Qualifications

  • PhD in Electrical Engineering with a focus on VLSI testing, fault tolerance, or reliability.
  • Experience with advanced technology nodes (5nm/3nm), 2.5D/3D-IC packaging, or high-speed I/O (SerDes/DDR) testing methodologies.
  • Experience managing global technical teams and driving vendor engagement.
  • Ability to drive cross-functional timing closure, power analysis, and IR-drop mitigation for high-frequency designs.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration.
  • Drive cutting-edge TPU technology.
  • Develop custom silicon solutions.
  • Contribute to innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide.
  • Leverage design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs.
  • Work on a team that redefines what's possible in AI and Infrastructure.
  • Empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights.
  • Deliver AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
