This role involves managing a versatile team responsible for both project development and operational sustaining work, ensuring the delivery of high-quality test integrated circuits (ICs) that meet customer expectations.

  • Lead and continually develop the Test Engineering discipline including managing direct reports, standards and infrastructure, our internal test floor and equipment, and yield management systems and processes
  • Design load boards, probe cards and test software to fully ATE test VLSI SOC devices which have both a large digital content as well as analog and high speed SerDes busses
  • Develop high level test engineering strategies by product families, Develop test program for multi-site testing for final test (Package) and wafer level testing
  • Work with outside vendors for load boards and sockets development for new devices
  • Requires strong understanding of Analog IC testing techniques
  • Ability to run standard translation tools (Velocity, Test Insight or similar) for vector conversion from simulation files in VCD/EVCD and WGL formats
  • Understanding of Scan, at-speed scan, JTAG, Memory BIST, OTP memory programming and loopback techniques
  • Develop ATE characterization program for critical data sheet parameters
  • Work with designers to think outside the box to develop complex test methodologies for device capabilities that exceed the current tester capabilities
  • Expert in large scale ATE platforms like Teradyne Ultraflex (preferred), and/or Verigy Pinscale /Smartscale
  • Bring up and support of test program at overseas vendors, support production for any ATE related issues
  • Support Product Engineer, FA and QA team for production qualification and customer issues
  • Work with team members and vendors, define ATE Test Specification and drive test review
