Role & seniority: Senior/Staff-level test engineering role focused on ASIC/SoC test for TPU-related AI/ML hardware; involves ownership of test programs from NPI to HVM and integration with production.

Stack/tools: ASIC/SoC test development and bring-up; Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) platforms (e.g., Advantest, Teradyne); DFT/ATPG (including SSN/streaming fabric), MBIST/BISR/BIRA; IP testing (PLL, PVT sensors, thermal diodes, PMRO, aging sensors, eFuse); PCIe, DDR, HBM; test program generation, vector tracking, automation tools; cross-functional test development for production release.

Top 3 responsibilities

Develop and maintain ATE-based test programs for high-volume manufacturing and characterization; coordinate with ATE vendors and internal teams.
Own IP-level and chip-level DFT/ATPG test development (including eFuse programming; MBIST/MBIST-related diagnostics; memory tests and repair).
Drive SoC NPI bring-up, verification, characterization, qualification, test coverage optimization, and production support (test program upgrades, yield analysis, DPPM correlation, RMA).

Must-have skills

Bachelor’s in EE/CS/CE or related field; 8+ years in test or product engineering.
Experience with ASIC/SoC test development, NPI/HVM bring-up, and ATE platforms.
Proficiency in DFT/ATPG, MBIST/BISR/BIRA, and IP/system-level testing (e.g., PLLs, sensors, eFuse); familiarity with PCIe, DDR, HBM.

Nice-to-haves

Master’s/PhD with emphasis on computer a

ABOUT THE JOB

In this role, you’ll work to shape the future of AI/ML hardware acceleration. You will have an opportunity to drive cutting-edge TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) technology that powers Google's most demanding AI/ML applications. You’ll be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's TPU. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide, and leverage your design and verification expertise to verify complex digital designs, with a specific focus on TPU architecture and its integration within AI/ML-driven systems.

In this role you will help build System on a Chips (SoC) that power these data centers by developing and deploying comprehensive test solutions with Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for New Product Introduction (NPI) and High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) at wafer fabs and Outsourced Assembly and Tests (OSAT). You will have an opportunity to create silicon and follow it into the field to close the loop back to design and test for the next generations of chips.

You will help to integrate SoC technologies into devices and drive ATE manufacturing testing to validate performance and screen devices. You will own all aspects of testing and work with cross-functional teams to ensure the optimal test coverage in production and high quality SoCs. You will work with various groups to develop tests, automation methodologies, develop/support internal tools for test program generation, vector tracking, test program release, etc. You will also work on releasing cost effective production test solutions into mass production.
