 Staff Test Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking a Staff NPI Test Engineer to lead test development for our mixed-signal and RF product portfolio. This role requires an engineer who can own test solutions across a product line — from early silicon validation through high-volume production — and who can resolve novel technical problems without needing the answer handed to them. The ideal candidate will apply and reinforce testability standards within their program, coordinate across multiple disciplines, and deliver test methodologies that support high-speed communication products operating atfrom LORA  modulation rates to 200Gbps and beyond.

Primary responsibilities:

  • Participate in new product design meetings to drive analog and digital DFT techniques into new designs;
  • Develop and implement high-speed test solutions at package and/or wafer level for new products on the Advantest V93000 test platform, including both software and hardware;
  • Work with a cross-functional product team to assess and evaluate new designs and provide feedback based on ATE test results;
  • Support product qualification by developing reliability screening solutions to evaluate device performance during life testing;
  • Collaborate with the Product Engineering to complete ATE characterization to ensure the robustness of IC designs and test solutions;
  • Deploy the solutions to our far-shore OSATs and support the ramp-up to full production;
  • Hold periodic test review meetings with key stakeholders on project teams;
  • Conduct ongoing test time and yield improvements to drive continuous margin improvement;

The right candidate will be able to:

  • Develop and maintain strong collaborative relationships across all functions within a project team (design, product, characterization, validation, applications, marketing etc.)
  • Work to aggressive project timelines
  • Multitask with multiple projects in different lifecycle phases
  • Deliver high quality test results in line with quality management standards;
  • Produce concise, accurate and timely reports and updates (written and oral), containing clearly presented results;

Knowledge, skills and experience desired:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar discipline;
  • At least 5+ years experience in ATE semiconductor testing; V93000 experience preferred
  • Experience in testing high-speed mixed signal ICs.
  • Experience in bring-up and support of solutions in offshore test locations;
  • Knowledge of high-speed PCB design concepts and experience in schematic level hardware design
