- Design test hardware using software tools like Cadence.
- Build test programs on an ATE simulator.
- Troubleshoot test programs or devices.
- Optimize production test programs for maximized test coverage on ATE.
- Drive innovative test standards to improve quality and reliability (DPPM).
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in a Product/Test engineering role.
- Advanced understanding of semiconductor device fundamentals.
- Advanced level of understanding and use of ATE.
- Advanced level of engineering statistics and statistical distribution analysis.
Nice to have
- Experience with ATE programming (ETS364 preferred).
- Proficiency with specific data analysis applications (e.g., SpotFire DXP, MBayse).
- Experience in semiconductor device testing and troubleshooting.
- Experience in developing and implementing analog test standards, processes, and methodologies.
- Familiarity with GaN technology and associated test methods.
- Experience in analyzing test data and presenting findings effectively.
- Experience in developing ATE corrective actions for customer returns.
- Experience building and maintaining working relationships with various teams (SBE, Quality, FAB, and Assembly sites).
