About The Position

Microchip Technology is seeking a Senior Test Engineer to support CPLS products, including ASIC and Embedded Programmable Logic devices. The position is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and focuses on divisional needs for new product development and manufacturing support of existing products. The engineer works closely with Product Engineering to sustain test programs, troubleshoot production issues such as fabrication-process and test-yield problems, optimize programs for cost efficiency, and address nonstandard customer requests. The role includes developing, debugging, implementing, and sustaining test programs for production, qualification, and characterization; designing and implementing test hardware such as load and test boards; developing new test methodologies; creating device test specifications and plans; and converting test platforms. The engineer ensures the quality and robustness of programs and hardware released to production, contributes to cost-reduction projects, collaborates with global engineering teams to improve manufacturing efficiency, and provides technical leadership in resolving test software and hardware issues. Additional job-related tasks may be assigned by the manager. The job requires access to technology, materials, software, or hardware controlled by U.S. export laws. Candidates must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, permanent U.S. residency, or protected-individual classification under 8 USC 1324b(a)(3). Travel is listed as 0%–25%.

Requirements
