Dfx Design Lead

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India · Engineering

This role is for a DFX Design Lead at AMD, focusing on the design and implementation of Design for Testability (DFx) features for next-generation silicon innovation. The engineer will own/lead DFx architecture, implement features like SCAN, ATPG, MBIST, and BSCAN, and collaborate with various design and verification teams to accelerate defect identification and ensure correct DFT implementation. The role also involves post-silicon support and requires strong scripting, debugging, and communication skills.

What you'd actually do

  1. The successful candidate will own/lead the DFX Design architecture and implement cutting edge DFX features including SCAN, ATPG, MBIST, BSCAN, etc.
  2. Work closely with the DFX Architecture and the various IP Design teams to align on the DFX requirements and successfully implement the DFX design
  3. Design and develop correct by construction DFX design and support DFX verification
  4. Work closely with the RTL designers, Verification Engineers, and PD team to find creative ways to accelerate the identification of functional defects.
  5. Work with the Synthesis and PD team to ensure correct DFT implementation and timing closure.
