Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver-The World's Most Experienced Driver-to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo's fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

Waymo's Compute Team is tasked with a critical and exciting mission : We deliver the compute platform responsible for running the fully autonomous vehicle's software stack. To achieve our mission, we architect and create high-performance custom silicon; we develop system-level compute architectures that push the boundaries of performance, power, and latency; and we collaborate closely with many other teammates to ensure we design and optimize hardware and software for maximum performance. We are a multidisciplinary team seeking curious and talented teammates to work on one of the world's highest performance automotive compute platforms.

You will :

  • Contribute to all aspects of DFT from methodology, scripting, test insertion, SDC constraints, ATPG generation, and pattern delivery in both a lead and hands-on role
  • Drive ASIC partners & internal design teams to meet automotive test targets while minimizing the impact on Power, Performance, and Area (PPA)
  • Architect and define hierarchical test strategy and SoC test interfaces
  • Collaborate with architects, designers, functional safety engineers, manufacturing quality, and other partner teams to optimize for a broad range of constraints

You have :

  • 10+ years of experience on DFT / ATPG / Silicon Test in advanced silicon nodes with a minimum of 2 tapeouts
  • Experience owning full chip DFT architecture. Be able to write a DFT architecture spec and work with an ASIC vendor on implementation.

  • Experience setting and implementing test methodologies / flows with both internal and external partners including demonstrated scripting ability (Python / TCL)
  • Experience delivering PPA optimal test methodologies that have minimal impact on Physical Design Closure
  • We prefer :

  • Experience with automotive silicon, including optimization for low DPPM and FIT rates
  • Experience with functional safety and in-field test
  • Experience with Automotive Qualification (AEC-Q100) standards
  • Understanding of RTL-to-GDS flows, especially as they pertain to test
  • Experience growing a DFT / ATPG team and working with external vendors or partner teams
  • Travel :
