SoC Test Automation and Infrastructure Lead, Google Cloud

About the Job

Google’s data centers are the most advanced in the world. In this role, you will help to manufacture the SoC’s that power these data centers by developing and deploying comprehensive manufacturing test and data analytics solutions for high-volume manufacturing at wafer fabrications and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT’s). You will have an opportunity to create silicon in the most advanced technologies and follow it into the field to close the loop back to design and test for the next-generation of chips.

You will help to integrate SoC technologies into devices and drive manufacturing test flows to assure performance and screen devices, drive yield improvement, cost optimization and work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the optimal test coverage in production to ensure high quality SoCs

You will have a strong understanding of IC flows, wafer processing, testing, qualification, diagnostics and failure analysis. You will work with various groups to deploy screening methodologies and flows for data processing, analytics and diagnostics. You will drive the release of cost effective production test solutions into mass production to hit yield and quality goals.
