About the role
SambaNova Systems is seeking a Principal Design for Test (DFT) Engineer to help build state-of-the-art RDU chips for ML/AI. You will own DFT architecture, verification, ATPG, MBIST and silicon bring-up for high-performance chips.
Responsibilities include defining DFT for large SoCs, maintaining ATPG flows, automating DFT tasks, and integrating JTAG/IJTAG interfaces for test access. Collaboration with STA and PD teams is required to meet timing closure and yield goals.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
