Test Development Engineer - Manchester, NH, United States

Originally posted 9 October 2026 by the employer.

Develop automated test solutions for high-performance mixed-signal integrated circuits.

About the role

This role involves developing automated test solutions, including C++ test programs and custom hardware interface boards, for high-performance mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) during wafer probe and final package manufacturing.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with senior engineers to write, debug, and maintain modular test programs in C/C++ on Automated Test Equipment (ATE) to evaluate analog and mixed-signal sensor and power ICs.
• Assist in the design, schematic capture, and checkout of custom test hardware, including Device Interface Boards (DIBs/loadboards), probe interface boards (PIBs), probe cards, and socket hardware.
• Participate in first-silicon bring-up, collecting correlation data to validate bench measurements against ATE results across operating temperature ranges.
• Perform statistical data analysis (using tools like JMP, Python, or Excel) to evaluate Gage R&R, characterize parametric distributions, identify test yield issues, and support test-time reduction (TTR) efforts.
• Partner with IC Design, Product Engineering, Quality, and global manufacturing teams (including AMPI) to release robust, automotive-grade test solutions into high-volume manufacturing.
• Use standard bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes, arbitrary waveform generators, DMMs, power supplies) and thermal systems to debug hardware and software test routines.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering Technology (EET), or a closely related field.
• 0 to 5 years of academic, internship, co-op, or industry experience in electronics testing, hardware lab bring-up, or semiconductor environments.
• Foundational knowledge of C/C++ (object-oriented programming) and/or Python for test execution, scripting, and data collection.
• Solid understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuits, with hands-on proficiency using standard lab test equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters).
• Basic exposure to schematic capture and PCB layout fundamentals (e.g., Altium, OrCAD, KiCad, or similar tools).

Nice to have

• Hands-on exposure to semiconductor Automated Test Equipment (ATE), particularly Teradyne / Eagle Test Systems (ETS-88, ETS-364, ETS-800), Advantest, or Cohu platforms.
• Familiarity with wafer probers (e.g., TEL) or automated IC handlers.
• Exposure to semiconductor data formats (STDF) and statistical process control concepts (e.g., normal distributions, Gage R&R, JMP).
• Coursework or project experience in power electronics, sensor interfaces, semiconductor physics, or Design for Testability (DFT).
