Test Engineer | BGP - Dallas, TX, United States
Originally posted 16 August 2026 by the employer.
This role focuses on driving testing for highly integrated multi-rail power management devices.
About the role
The Test Engineer will design, develop, and maintain automated test solutions for Battery-Gauge integrated circuits (ICs).
What you'll do
- Work with the design team to understand design specifications.
- Generate test plans, create test and characterization programs, and design ATE hardware interface boards.
- Debug characterizing silicon on ATE and correlate results with bench data.
- Analyze silicon results, supporting failure analysis tasks.
- Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug and fix yield issues, and optimize test time.
- Work with the production team to release products to volume production.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- 5 years of relevant experience.
- ATE experience on Teradyne J750 or equivalent analog ATE Eagle (ETS800) platforms.
- Characterization test program and hardware development experience.
- Production test program and hardware development experience.
- Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, and analog test techniques.
- Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower, or equivalent tool based on STDF.
- Experience with lab equipment such as scopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, and loads.
- Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test time reduction.
- Strong understanding of the IC product development process, from concept to volume production.
Nice to have
- Proven experience developing test programs for analog or mixed-signal ICs on Teradyne J750 and/or ETS800 platforms.
- Strong background in automated test hardware design (load boards, probe cards, fixtures).
- Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, and/or ATE-specific languages such as IG-XL.
- Hands-on knowledge of analog measurement techniques (supply current, output regulation, switching frequency, noise).
- Solid understanding of power-management IC architectures (converters, LDOs, battery-management, protection devices, gate drivers).
- In-depth grasp of semiconductor device fundamentals (CMOS, BJTs, MOSFETs, bandgaps, references, amplifiers, comparators).
- Experience with statistical process control, test data analysis, and yield improvement.
- Familiarity with Design-for-Test (DFT) concepts applied to analog IC testing.
