Verification, Validation & Test
Originally posted 16 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves test and product engineering for complex mixed-signal circuits, focusing on probe and final test development.
What you'll do
- Develop test hardware and software for Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).
- Perform qualification and characterization of integrated circuits to meet product and manufacturing requirements.
- Collaborate with manufacturing facilities on product quality, yield management, and cost reductions.
- Analyze customer returns, perform process improvement activities, and optimize test time.
- Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug and fix yield issues.
- Work with failure analysis (FA) to determine root cause of reliability and qualification failures.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- 5 years of relevant experience.
- ATE experience on Teradyne Eagle (ETS88, ETS364, ETS800) or equivalent analog ATE (V93K, J750HD, UFLEX).
- Production ATE test program and hardware development experience.
- Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, and Analog test techniques.
- Data analysis skills using Spotfire or equivalent tool based on STDF.
- Experience with lab equipment such as scopes, power supplies, source measurement unit, loads.
- Experience with product engineering activities such as product transfer, product yield improvement, and test time reduction.
- Strong understanding of the IC product development process, from concept to volume production.
Nice to have
