About The Position

Develop, debug, and maintain code that enables parallel testing of advanced memory devices. Support R&D by collaborating with global teams and participating in test hardware design and debugging. Develop efficient production test flows through test-algorithm optimization, and design DRAM test plans and algorithms covering software and hardware requirements, defect coverage, characterization, trending, process flow, and test times.

Develop product test programs primarily using C++ and Python on Automated Test Equipment (ATE), then release them to manufacturing. Optimize test programs to reduce product test times and manufacturing costs. Apply knowledge of device and part testing, automate processes, and build tools to analyze large volumes of probe data. Develop Design for Test (DFT), Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and Design for Reliability (DFR) capabilities.

Independently debug test issues, identify root causes, and provide solutions across internal and external groups. Conduct statistical data analysis and justify program validation and release to ensure quality and data integrity. Work with global teams to evaluate yields and quality, ensure products meet data-sheet specifications, and support experiments to improve yield or capacity. Contribute to development of processes and capabilities for the product roadmap, lead teams where necessary, communicate with customers, coach and share resources, and present technical information to varied audiences.

The employer accepts a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, plus four years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
