ATD QEV Product Engineer - Dallas, TX, United States
Originally posted 30 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves creating, testing, characterizing, and stressing custom mixed-signal ICs as part of the ATD technology qualification process.
What you'll do
- Collaborate with Process and BU stakeholders to develop characterization and test plans for early Process Technology nodes development.
- Develop ATE Test Hardware and Software for analog and mixed-signal prototypes to qualify advanced process technology nodes.
- Design Probe and Package ATE test hardware using Cadence Allegro tools for custom schematics and PCB layouts.
- Design HTOL (High Temperature Operating Life) evaluation application circuits (Burn in boards) and generate programs for bench evaluations and reliability stress testing.
- Perform silicon validation and characterization testing to report parametric performance and yield opportunities for improvement.
- Work with the Failure Analysis group to determine root causes of reliability and qualification failures.
What you'll need
