DescriptionWe are seeking a Senior Test Engineer to lead New Product Introduction (NPI) for precision analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits used in memory, AI, computing, and high-performance automated test equipment (ATE) applications.
This role owns the production test strategy from first silicon through high-volume manufacturing and works closely with Design, Product Engineering, Applications, Quality, Operations, and external manufacturing partners to deliver robust, cost-effective production solutions.
Responsibilities
- Lead NPI activities from first silicon through production release for precision analog and mixed-signal IC products.
- Develop complete production test solutions for wafer sort and final test using Teradyne UltraFlex IGXL and associated handlers/probers.
- Correlate bench measurements with ATE results and establish production test limits using statistical analysis and characterization data.
- Develop and optimize production test programs for precision DACs, current source/sink products, PMICs, analog interface ICs.
- Design, debug, and validate load boards, probe cards, sockets, and production hardware in collaboration with external vendors.
- Drive multisite optimization, parallel testing, throughput improvement, and overall manufacturing cost reduction.
- Perform silicon debug and root-cause analysis for design, process, package, and test related issues.
- Work closely with IC Design during schematic reviews, silicon bring-up, and Design-for-Test (DFT) planning.
- Support qualification, reliability, HTOL, characterization, and customer qualification activities.
- Develop production release documentation including correlation reports, GR&R studies, guard-banding analysis, and manufacturing specifications.
- Transfer products into OSAT and high-volume manufacturing while providing engineering support during production ramp.
- Develop automation tools using Python, JMP, and data analytics to improve engineering productivity and manufacturing quality.
Requirements- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 6 plus years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, ideally with analog or mixed signal ICs
- Experience with Teradyne UltraFlex and or Verigy SmartScale or PinScale platforms
- Understanding of analog testing principles and methodologies
- Experience with vector translation tools such as Velocity or Test Insight
- Familiarity with scan testing, JTAG, memory BIST, and loopback techniques
- Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
Preferences
- Experience with test hardware development including load boards, probe cards, and sockets
- Exposure to high volume manufacturing environments and offshore vendors
- Experience with wafer level testing and multi-site optimization
- Familiarity with analog simulation tools and testbench correlation
- Interest in process improvement and test automation
