About The Position

Utilize custom design tools to process customer requirements and produce quality designs efficiently. Translate customer requirements to generate logical design in a production probe card environment, to guide through logical and electrical design rules, and for internal and external physical designers for space transformers. Use product specifications and electrical circuit knowledge for the internal design process, design rules, and manufacturing process. Responsible for probe card design entry from customer technical specification using schematics and spreadsheet formats. Interface with customers and vendors to provide quick turn analysis and feedback results to the Sales and Design teams. Work with design and automation groups to define, develop, and improve design tools and design processes. Train new employees on the design process, including documentation and on-the-job training.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 2 years of experience as Electrical Engineer or related occupation
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in generating electrical designs using concepts including impedance, PDN, signal integrity, and digital/analog circuit design.
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in designing physical routing of different types of signals and plane layers.
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in designing production level multi-layer boards (substrate or PCB) for wafer test probe cards.
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in improving electrical designs using layout commercial design tools: Allegro and AutoCAD along with custom tools.
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in working with SI and PI concepts (insertion loss, return loss, DC, and power impedance) to optimize design layout for electrical performance improvement.
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in translating customer requirements into electrical designs and generating technical documentation for electrical products.
• Must have at least 1 year of prior work experience in choosing components for specific electrical applications and researching alternative components for design improvement.
