Responsibilities

Translate product requirements and datasheets into technical specifications, specification-compliance matrices, design-for-test requirements, and ATE test plans.
Assist with designing cost-effective ATE hardware and resource allocation to improve multisite efficiency and pin multiplexing for silicon bring-up, validation, and production release.
Develop, bring up, validate, and debug automated test programs for digital, analog, and mixed-signal integrated circuits on Advantest and Teradyne ATE platforms.
Analyze test and characterization data to investigate design margins, wafer-fabrication process variation, parametric performance, yield, and test-time opportunities.
Support process-window experiments, silicon and package qualification activities, and product specification compliance across automotive, industrial, or commercial requirements.
Collaborate with Design, DFT, Design Validation, Program Management, Quality and Reliability Engineering, Customer Quality Engineering, Bench Characterization, Applications, Fab, Assembly, and factory Test teams.
Contribute to ATE test hardware, socket design, board schematics, layout, diagnostic code, and test automation specifications under the guidance of experienced engineers.
Document gaps, lessons learned, and best practices, and contribute reusable methods to the Standard Test Methods Library (STML) across ATE platforms.
Perform all activities safely and responsibly and support Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
