Senior Test Engineer
About The Position
Renesas’s Hi-Rel Space Product and Test Engineering Group is seeking an experienced Senior Test Engineer in Palm Bay, Florida. The team develops radiation-hardened integrated circuits for the space industry, where reliability, precision, and performance are critical. The engineer independently develops, debugs, and implements automated test solutions for analog and power management ICs, working closely with Product Engineering, Design Engineering, and other cross-functional teams, with access to the on-site production test floor. The role covers test methodology and requirements, test schematics, PCB layouts and hardware, characterization and production test programs, correlation of automated results with bench measurements, and transfer of validated test solutions into production. It offers the opportunity to apply semiconductor test engineering experience to technically challenging applications and high-reliability IC development and production. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE).
- Minimum of 5 years of experience developing and debugging test solutions for automated test environments, preferably within the semiconductor, defense, or aerospace industries.
- Experience testing analog and power management ICs, such as LDOs, Buck Regulators, PMICs, or PWM Controllers.
- Hands-on experience developing, debugging, and troubleshooting automated test programs.
- Experience with semiconductor test methodologies, device characterization, and test hardware.
- Ability to independently analyze technical problems, evaluate test results, and develop effective solutions.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with ETS-364, Teradyne microFLEX, Advantest V93000, or comparable semiconductor ATE platforms.
- Experience with bench-to-ATE correlation, GR&R studies, and production test transfer.
- Familiarity with transient analysis, spike detection, and de-glitching.
- Experience with high-reliability semiconductor applications, including aerospace, defense, or radiation-hardened ICs.
Responsibilities
- Independently develop and implement automated test solutions for new analog and power management ICs.
- Define test requirements for new ICs in collaboration with product development and design engineering teams.
- Develop, debug, and execute characterization programs to evaluate device performance and verify test requirements.
- Develop, debug, and optimize production test programs for automated test equipment (ATE).
- Design and troubleshoot load boards, test schematics, PCB layouts, and supporting test hardware.
- Correlate automated production test results with bench measurements to verify accuracy and consistency.
- Perform Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) studies to evaluate measurement system performance.
- Perform transient analysis, spike detection, and de-glitching to identify and resolve test-related signal issues.
- Troubleshoot complex test problems, analyze results, and recommend practical engineering solutions.
- Support the validation and transfer of test solutions into production, working closely with engineering and manufacturing teams.
Benefits
- Competitive benefits package alongside salary; details provided during the hiring process.
- Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
