Verification, Validation & Test
Originally posted 22 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves deep technical ownership in Test Solutions Engineering, focusing on ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of Custom silicon products.
What you'll do
- Develop ATE (Automated Test Equipment) production test solutions for custom products.
- Define detailed test plans, experiments, and perform analyses to validate product yield, performance, and reliability.
- Develop test screening methods based on product application conditions, IP capabilities, design timing margins, and process technology specifications.
- Utilize a product's DFT (Design for Test) solution to explore and bound the operating space, characterize silicon variations, and drive failure root-cause analysis.
- Partner with design teams and customers to define DFT requirements and test strategy.
- Work with customers, design, DFT, operations, and reliability teams to meet test solution coverage, quality, and schedule requirements.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 2+ years of experience in Product Engineering, Test Engineering, DFT, or Technology Characterization.
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas: Product Engineering and Test Development, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), Design-for-test methodology (SCAN, MBIST), HSIO (Serdes, D2D), Sensors, Processors, Statistics, and data analysis techniques, Semiconductor process technology, Reliability and qualification methodologies.
- Proficiency in scripting and programming languages such as Python, Perl, or R within a Linux environment.
