Sr Principal Engineer - Test Development and Automation
About The Position
GlobalFoundries is hiring a Sr Principal Engineer for its Test Technology and Data Analytics Development team. The role focuses on driving automated ATE test development for analog and digital test strategies across product lines serving automotive, commercial, and industrial markets. The engineer will define and lead automated test-program generation, promote standard test methodologies across products and ATE platforms, and develop reusable test-method libraries. The role also aims to productize deep analog and mixed-signal test solutions that support quality, efficient code, and cost-of-test goals. The engineer will develop automation that reduces manual test-engineering workflows, including AI-agent-based solutions, and supports differentiated test flows and test insertions. Automation extends beyond test-program generation to communications and data transfers between testers and peripherals. The position supports new-product teams with ATE automation software, maintains utilities and libraries, audits programs, identifies quality or test-escape risks, and serves as an interface among ATE vendors, BU product engineering, and design teams.
Requirements
- BSEE, BSCS, or BSCE with more than 20 years of product/test experience, or an MSEE with at least 5 years of experience.
- At least 10 years of direct experience with test-program-generation automation across multiple ATE platforms.
- Knowledge and hands-on experience with agentic AI systems, including LLM-based agents, tool use, and multi-agent workflows.
- Experience working with ATE platforms and understanding of ATE system architecture, including V93K, ETS, T2K, and IFlex.
- Proficiency in multiple ATE software coding languages, including C#, C++, Python, and Java.
- Strong track record of driving ATE automation for test-code generation and reuse.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills, including experience working with cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities
- Define and develop state-of-the-art ATE test-solution automation for new-product development engineers.
- Define and develop reusable Test Method Libraries to promote standardization and consistency across products and ATE platforms.
- Reduce or eliminate manual test-engineering workflows by developing and deploying AI-agent-based test automation solutions.
- Develop test-program automation that supports differentiated test flows and insertions for automotive, commercial, and industrial market segments, optimizing coverage and cost-of-test.
- Extend automation across interactions between testers and peripherals, including communications and data transfers.
- Update and modify existing code to improve current solutions.
- Support new-product development teams with ATE automation software issues.
- Maintain and continuously update test-program-generation utilities and standard test-method libraries.
- Establish program audits and checks, identify or flag quality and test-escape risks, and provide best-practice solutions for ATE hardware and software implementation.
- Interface with ATE vendors, BU product engineering, and design teams to define test-automation requirements and checklists.
- Develop low-level ATE automation code in collaboration with vendors.
