At a glance
The Principal Performance and Manufacturing Architect joins the Silicon Co-Design Group to bridge the gap between design intent and manufacturing reality. This role involves building first-principles models that connect physical phenomena like AVF, defect mechanisms, and DVFS transients to system-level yield and field reliability metrics. The architect will define specifications for ATE and SLT voltage, frequency, and timing conditions while authoring methodology documents to align build, product definition, reliability, and test engineering teams. Key responsibilities include designing silicon validation experiments, establishing statistical acceptance criteria, and ensuring every margin term in the V/F curve is defensible. The ideal candidate possesses a BSEE, MSEE, or PhD with over 15 years of experience. They must demonstrate expertise in transient VF behavior, manufacturing test specifications, and the application of AI for production engineering workflows like model fitting and anomaly detection.
