Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs. We are seeking a highly experienced Senior VLSI Product and Test Engineer with 10+ years of expertise in semiconductor testing, with a specialized focus on wafer-scale and large-scale AI/ML accelerator testing. The successful candidate will drive test program development for wafer-scale processors, drive innovative test strategies for massive parallel processing units, IOs, and memories. In this exciting role, you will be responsible for ATE strategy for future generations of Cerebras’s Wafer Scale Engine (WSE).
Job Responsibility:
Design and develop comprehensive test programs for wafer-scale processors and large-scale AI/ML accelerator chips
Implement sophisticated DFT strategies for wafer-scale designs, including hierarchical scan chains and distributed BIST
Create scalable test methodologies for testing hundreds to thousands of processing cores on a single wafer, with distributed SRAM
Develop fault isolation techniques for identifying defective cores/tiles within wafer-scale processors
Implement efficient wafer-level test flows that can handle massive parallelism and complex interconnect structures such as mesh networks, on-chip NoC, and die-to-die communication
Work with the DFT engineers, silicon architects/designers, performance engineers, and software engineers to enhance the testability of Wafer Scale Engines
Work refining test programs for di/dt, V-F characterization space, current and temperature limits
Optimize test programs for testing multiple die simultaneously while maintaining test quality
Develop innovative approaches for power delivery and thermal management during wafer-level testing
Develop test strategies for wafer-scale integration-testing, yield optimization, redundancy, and fault tolerance verification
Analyze spatial defect patterns across wafer-scale devices and implement corrective actions
