Staff Product Development Engineer - ATE Content Developer
About The Position
Tenstorrent is looking for a Staff Product Development Engineer - ATE Content Developer, who will be focused on core content development for high-performance AI/ML silicon. They will be responsible for developing production test programs on ATE test platforms, translating DFT/ATPG content into optimized ATE solutions, and implementing Streaming Scan Network (SSN) architectures for efficient test data delivery. High level challenges include reducing test cost while maintaining coverage targets, optimizing test time for chiplet and multi-die architectures, and enabling rapid yield learning through robust test methodologies. The work is done collaboratively with a group of highly experienced engineers across DFT, design, product, and manufacturing domains.
Requirements
- 7 years and a BS/MS in EE/ECE/CE
- Track record testing complex digital devices on advanced nodes.
- Hands-on with Advantest V93K and/or Teradyne UltraFlex+ platforms, comfortable owning production test programs end‑to‑end.
- Deeply familiar with DFT/ATPG flows and test architectures: scan chains, MBIST, compression, JTAG/IEEE 1149.1, and common fault models (stuck‑at, transition, path delay, cell‑aware).
- Proficient in C/C++ or Java, with strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, or TCL to automate flows, pattern handling, and data analysis.
- Skilled at debugging across ATE hardware, test programs, and silicon, and at using data to drive root‑cause analysis and yield improvement.
Nice To Haves
- How to test and scale cutting‑edge AI/ML silicon with chiplet and multi‑die architectures, including exposure to 2.5D/3D packaging and HBM integration.
- Deeper expertise in SSN architectures, high‑speed scan delivery, and next‑generation DFT/test methodologies for complex HPC/AI devices.
- How to drive end‑to‑end yield learning: from ATE data and STDF analytics through to design, DFT, and manufacturing process feedback.
- How a fast‑growing AI hardware startup coordinates DFT, design, product, and manufacturing to bring new silicon from first silicon to high‑volume production.
- Opportunities to influence test strategy, infrastructure, and automation roadmaps for future products and platforms as Tenstorrent’s portfolio scales.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize production test programs on Advantest V93K using the SmarTest 8 environment, from bring-up through high-volume manufacturing.
- Translate ATPG patterns (STIL/WGL) into production-ready test content, balancing test time, coverage, and cost for chiplet and multi-die AI/ML devices.
- Implement and debug Streaming Scan Network (SSN) based content for high-speed scan delivery, ensuring robust and scalable scan test infrastructure.
- Own test content for scan, BIST, and memory test structures, collaborating with DFT teams on pattern debug, fault diagnosis, and coverage improvement.
- Support silicon bring-up and debug in the lab and at manufacturing sites, including correlation, corner characterization, and PVT studies.
- Build and maintain automation scripts and test methods that improve productivity, repeatability, and quality across the test lifecycle.
- Document test architectures, flows, and debug procedures so they can be scaled across products, sites, and engineering teams.
Benefits
- highly competitive compensation package and benefits
