Principal IC Test Development Engineer
About The Position
The preferred candidate shall demonstrate experience with developing complete industrial test plans for high-performance mixed-signal integrated circuits on industry-standard Automated Test Equipment (ATE). This includes designing custom circuitry on ATE interface boards for testing high-precision, high-speed products, particularly in regard to layout matching & symmetry, impedance control, and component selection with attention to bandwidth, noise, linearity, and repeatability. The role involves working with cross-functional engineers from product concept to properly define characterization/validation setups and product manufacturability. The candidate will help define Design for Testability (DfT) features/circuits from design concept stage to manufacturability and work in a cross-functional team environment with Analog & Digital Design, System Definer, Product Engineering, Quality Engineering, and Applications Engineering to deliver products on schedule and on budget. Job includes all administrative aspects of Test Engineering -- customer support, data evaluation, report generation, defining test limits, and mass production support.
Requirements
- BSEE or higher (MSEE preferred)
- A minimum of 5 years of test development experience on ATE with high performance integrated circuits
- Advantest 93K (SmarTest8 preferred) and/or Teradyne UltraFllex tester experience, or capability and willingness to learn these ATE platforms
- Thorough understanding of digital, analog, and mixed-signal device testing, PVT characterization, IC qualification, product launch, and customer RMA support
- Experience with statistical data processing, designs of experiment, test debug and problem solving methodologies, to drive best possible test time & test cost reduction, and yield enhancement
- Working knowledge of, and some experience with IC foundries and offshore assembly & test subcons (OSATs)
- Familiarity of IC fabrication processes and its effect on test performance
- Skill required in reliability, failure analysis, and circuit debug processes
- Ability to work collaboratively with a diverse, global product development team from product concept to high volume production
Nice To Haves
