Cirrus Logic • Austin, TX

1d

About The Position

Cirrus Logic is seeking a hands-on Sustaining Product Test Engineer to improve the speed, cost, and reliability of high-volume production testing for mixed-signal products. The engineer will own production test activities after product release, including test-time reduction, preparing ATE hardware for offshore manufacturing, and improving tester ports, probe cards, and load boards. The role also supports characterization and qualification as silicon revisions are introduced. It is suited to an engineer who enjoys bench and tester problem-solving, understands production test hardware, and wants to affect yield, cost, and throughput.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 4–10 years of relevant experience.
• Effective hands-on hardware debugging skills, including the ability to read schematics and use bench instruments.
• Solid understanding of ATE hardware, including probe cards, load boards, relays, connectors, and signal paths.
• Experience with high-volume production test, including hardware release and yield improvement.
• Broad understanding of circuit blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, amplifiers, charge pumps, and temperature sensors.
• Familiarity with digital protocols such as I2C, SPI, I2S, and TDM.
• Experience with data and yield analysis tools such as JMP and Excel.
• Effective communication skills and experience working with remote teams.
• Must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.; employment visa sponsorship or takeover of sponsorship is unavailable.
• Must be able to access technical data without requiring an export license; export licenses cannot be sponsored or obtained for the role.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Teradyne UltraFlex or UltraFlexPLUS platforms.
• Demonstrated results in test time reduction, site-count increases, or tester-port development.
• Experience with ATE board schematic design and PCB layout review.
• Experience with Python or similar scripting languages for test automation and data analysis.
• Familiarity with OTP, flash, and other non-volatile memory testing.

Responsibilities

• Drive test time reduction to increase throughput and lower cost of test.
• Own ATE tester ports or provide final technical sign-off on ports prepared by offshore teams.
• Check out probe cards, PIBs, and load boards from manufacturing and prepare them for offshore production.
• Improve or redesign ATE hardware to increase site count, reduce test time, and improve testability.
• Investigate production yield, correlation, and hardware issues through root-cause analysis at the bench and on the tester.
• Collect characterization data and support qualification across silicon revisions.
• Partner with design, product, and quality engineering teams to resolve production issues and customer returns.
