Test Development Engineer

SiTime Corporation•Santa Clara, CA

2d•$116,900 - $160,710

About The Position

The Test Architect / Test Development Engineer develops and deploys next-generation semiconductor test solutions, technologies, and methodologies for SiTime’s precision timing products. The role works across Design Verification (DV), Design for Test (DFT), Product Engineering, and production automated test equipment (ATE) to accelerate silicon bring-up and improve the efficiency and automation of test development. Depending on experience, the role may focus on implementing new test and verification technologies or take broader responsibility for defining test architectures and technical roadmaps. Candidates may come from Design Verification, semiconductor test, mixed-signal validation, or ATE development backgrounds. The position develops ATE, Design-to-Test, and pre-silicon test methodologies; builds integrated test and verification environments; creates reusable test methods, test IP, software tools, and automation infrastructure; and evaluates test platforms and measurement technologies. It also supports strategic new product introduction (NPI), yield enhancement, test-time reduction, and continuous improvement of production test solutions. The role may include developing AI-assisted engineering workflows for test development, code generation, debugging, data analysis, documentation, and test automation. The position requires a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience, along with 2–5 years of related experience. SiTime offers a competitive compensation package, including base salary, eligibility for a quarterly innovation-goal bonus, and equity grants, as well as benefits including a 401(k), health and wellness coverage, and time-off plans.
