- Design and build test hardware for validation and characterization.
- Collect, analyze, and summarize performance and yield data.
- Support yield enhancement and cost reduction initiatives for ramping products.
- Contribute to New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts including matrix lot reviews, GRR, CPK analysis, and production hardware buy-off.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage production ramp deliverables and timelines.
What you'll need
- Pursuing a BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience with mixed-signal product engineering and IC testing.
- Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, waveform generators, power supplies).
- Knowledge of yield analysis and statistical techniques (e.g., ANOVA, Regression, GRR).
- Familiarity with data analysis tools such as Spotfire, JMP, Excel, and PDF.
- Understanding of high-volume production ramps and test hardware debugging.
Nice to have
- Experience with Teradyne UFlex, Excerra, or Catalyst test systems.
- Knowledge of Linux/Unix shell scripting.
- Familiarity with IC or board-level test and failure analysis methodologies.
