Principal Test Engineer
About The Position
The Principal Test Engineer leads the creation and deployment of production-ready Automated Test Equipment (ATE) solutions for high-performance automotive processors from concept through high-volume mass production. This role involves developing test plans and test programs for IP within the chip, designing ATE loadboards for multi-gigahertz range, executing PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) characterization, first silicon bring-up, and IC qualification. Additionally, the engineer will utilize statistical data processing and design of experiments (DOE) to enhance yield and drive down test time and manufacturing costs. Collaboration with global teams including analog/digital design, product engineering, quality assurance, and offshore assembly/test subcontractors (OSATs) is crucial. The role also includes overseeing production release, defining test limits, and managing customer support or customer returns.
