Job Description:
We need an engineer to own the end-to-end silicon diagnostic pipeline. You wont just be looking at reports; you will be building the engines that generate this role you will ingest massive volumes of scan failure data and process parameters using AI-driven methodologies to find the needle in the haystack that is hindering our yield.
Your goal is simple but ambitious: Use AI/ML to transform millions of data points into actionable insights that drive aggressive yield ramps and shorten time-to-market.
Key Responsibilities
AI-Driven Debug: Develop and deploy ML models to automate the classification of scan failures (Chain Stuck-at Transition) and correlate them with design-for-test (DFT) structures.
Predictive Yield Modeling: Integrate high-dimensional dataincluding Fab process parameters PCM (Process Control Monitoring) and E-test datato predict yield excursions before they hit the assembly line.
Holistic Yield Analysis: Look beyond the bitcell. Youll analyze the interplay between design marginalities voltage scaling and manufacturing variations.
Tool Orchestration: Evaluate and implement cutting-edge AI-based EDA tools for root-cause analysis and systematic defect identification.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the translator between the Fab Design and Test teams using data to prove where the silicon is diverging from the simulation.
The Ideal Candidate
ASIC Design Engineering: Deep understanding of ASIC design including logic circuits memory PLL/Analog Place and route STA DFT DFM etc.
The Debug Specialist: You know your way around scan compression BIST and ATPG patterns. You understand what a shmoo plot is telling you about a timing marginality.
The Data Scientist: You dont just use tools; you understand the math. You are proficient in Python (Pandas Scikit-Learn PyTorch/TensorFlow) for building custom analysis pipelines.
The Yield Strategist: You have a deep understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes (FinFET nodes) and how physical defects manifest as logical failures.
Technical Requirements
Bachelors degree plus 8 years of related experience OR Masters degree plus 6 years of related experience
3 years in Silicon Debug DFT or Yield Engineering.
Knowledge of Deep Sub-micron (FinFET) effects including IR drop crosstalk and process variation
Experience with Pattern Recognition Clustering (for defect binning) and Regression models.
Expertise in Python SQL and big data environments (Spark Snowflake etc.).
Familiarity with industry-standard yield management systems (e.g. PDF Solutions Synopsys YieldExplorer or Cadence Clarity).
