Sr Principal Engineer - Test Development and Automation
About The Position
This role is part of GlobalFoundries’ Test Technology and Data Analytics Development team and focuses on driving ATE test automation for analog and digital test strategies across product lines. The engineer will define, lead, and develop automated test-program generation solutions that apply standard test methodologies across multiple ATE platforms and products. The role emphasizes software development, ATE platform architecture, and low-level ATE code for analog and mixed-signal blocks. The position is responsible for developing and productizing automated analog and mixed-signal test solutions that support quality, efficient code, and test-cost goals. It also includes reducing manual test-engineering workflows through AI agentic automation, supporting new product development teams, maintaining automation utilities and test-method libraries, and coordinating requirements among ATE vendors, product engineering, and design teams.
Requirements
- BSEE, BSCS, or BSCE with more than 20 years of product or 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 of and hands-on experience with agentic AI systems, including LLM-based agents, tool use, and multi-agent workflows.
- Experience working with ATE platforms.
- 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 automation solutions for new product development engineers.
- Develop test-method libraries that enable reuse, standardization, and consistency across products and ATE platforms.
- Reduce or eliminate manual test-engineering workflows by developing and deploying AI agentic test automation solutions.
- Develop test-program automation that supports differentiated test flows and insertions for automotive, commercial, and industrial market segments while optimizing coverage and cost of test.
- Extend automation beyond test-program generation to include communications and data transfers between testers and peripherals.
- Update and modify existing code to improve current solutions.
- Support new product development teams with ATE automation software issues.
- Work with ATE vendors to develop low-level automation code and apply knowledge of ATE system architecture and platforms.
- Maintain test-program generation utilities and standard test-method libraries.
- Establish program audits and checks, identify opportunities to prevent quality issues and test escapes, and provide best-practice solutions for ATE hardware and software implementation.
- Serve as an interface among ATE vendors, business-unit product engineering, and design teams to define test-automation requirements and checklists.
