Job Level

About the role

  • 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
  • Integrate high-dimensional data—including Fab process parameters, PCM (Process Control Monitoring), and E-test data—to predict yield excursions before they hit the assembly line
  • Analyze the interplay between design marginalities, voltage scaling, and manufacturing variations
  • Evaluate and implement cutting-edge AI-based EDA tools for root-cause analysis and systematic defect identification
  • Act as the "translator" between the Fab, Design, and Test teams, using data to prove where the silicon is diverging from the simulation

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree plus 8+ years of related experience OR Master's 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)
Benefits
  • Medical, dental and vision plans
  • 401(K) participation including company matching
  • Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP)
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • company paid holidays
  • paid sick leave and vacation time
