Test Engineer | Motor Drives
About the role
This role involves developing and executing characterization and production test solutions for Brushless DC Motor Drive products serving automotive and industrial markets. The focus includes probe and final test development for mixed-signal circuits utilizing technologies such as GaN.
What you'll do
- Design test hardware using tools such as Cadence and build test programs on ATE simulators.
- Develop, debug, and maintain characterization and production test programs and hardware on automated test equipment.
- Work in the lab troubleshooting devices and test programs using oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, and loads.
- Conduct data analysis on STDF-based datasets using tools like Spotfire or dataPower.
- Execute product engineering activities including yield improvement and test time reduction across the IC development lifecycle.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 2+ years of relevant experience, including ATE experience on Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE (such as iFlex, LTX, VLCT, or V93k).
- Experience in characterization and production test program and hardware development.
- Knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.
- STDF-based data analysis experience using Spotfire, dataPower, or equivalent tools.
- Hands-on experience with bench lab equipment including scopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, and electronic loads.
- Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test time reduction across the IC product development process.
Nice to have
- Mixed-signal test techniques and experience developing mixed-signal tests on TI roadmap testers.
- Experience with test program and hardware offload to offshore manufacturing sites.
- Proficiency in programming and scripting with C++, Python, or C#.
- Experience with LabVIEW and TestStand.
- Experience using revision control tools such as Subversion or Git.
