Test Engineer (HVP-DBB)

Texas Instruments•Dallas, TX

About The Position

Test engineers play a crucial role in the IC development process by identifying which device characteristics require testing and where risk may be acceptable, balancing test coverage against the cost of production testing. The role involves spending time in the lab, designing test hardware with software tools such as Cadence, developing test programs on an ATE simulator, and troubleshooting test programs or devices.

Requirements

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
3 years of relevant semiconductor test experience.

Nice To Haves

ATE experience with Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE such as iFlex, LTX, or VLCT; Eagle experience is preferred and a differentiator.
Experience developing characterization test programs and hardware.
Experience developing production test programs and hardware.
Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.
Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower, or an equivalent tool based on STDF.
Experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, and loads.
Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test time reduction.
Strong understanding of the IC product development process, from concept to volume production.
Mixed-signal test techniques and experience developing mixed-signal tests on TI roadmap testers.
Experience with test program and hardware offload to TI offshore manufacturing sites.
Proficiency in programming or scripting in C++, Python, or C#.
LabVIEW or TestStand experience.
Experience with revision control tools such as Subversion or Git.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
