We're building hardware and software that will help decentralize bitcoin mining, promote new and innovative use cases for bitcoin mining, and drive a major new business for Block. We're looking for a Post-Silicon Lead who will drive productization of our bitcoin mining chips.
Job Responsibility:
Bring Proto silicon from first samples to mass production
Develop and implement test strategies that lead to better performance and faster delivery
Collect and analyze both wafer-level and bench test data and collaborate with data scientists to characterize and optimize silicon performance
Work with foundry to identify potential device parameter changes to enable efficient low-voltage operation and maximize performance
Collaborate with hardware system engineers to determine appropriate binning strategies and to design systems that get the most out of the individual and collective ASIC performance
Collaborate with ASIC design engineers to improve test capabilities at a silicon level and to inform what device improvements could improve circuit performance and energy efficiency
Lead a small team of test engineers to deliver on the responsibilities in this job description
Requirements:
10 + years of post-education experience in fab or fabless environments, technology definition and bring-up, device/process architecture, and NPI
Experience with near-threshold operation (and bitcoin mining specifically is a huge plus)
Experience with CP, FT, and bench test data collection and analysis – and ability and willingness to get your hands dirty on all of these activities
Bias to action – if it needs doing, you're already working on it, and with the right level of scrappiness for the task
An effective technical leadership approach and ability to inspire and develop great engineers
Deep understanding of SPICE fundamentals, simulation methodologies, and BSIM FinFET models
