Full Job Description
As an Analog/RF ATE Test Engineer, you will play a key role in the development, validation, and deployment of test solutions for indie programs, particularly for our mixed-signal products.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including design, product, and process engineering, to ensure robust test coverage, high yield, and smooth integration into high-volume manufacturing.
Your expertise in ATE platforms, silicon debug, and data analysis will directly contribute to product quality, production efficiency, and time-to-market.
This is a highly technical and impactful role suited for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
Responsibilities
• Develop, validate, and release test programs for wafer probe and final test on the Advantest V93000 SmartScale platform using SmarTest 8, meeting automotive-grade requirements.
• Drive DFT/DFM implementation for new products, partnering with design and test architects to maximize coverage efficiency and minimize test time.
• Support development of various test targets, including characterization, qualification, probe, and final test solutions.
• Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation, including handler and load board bring-up, contactor qualification, and tester correlation.
• Define, improve, and validate test methods, procedures, and techniques that can be reused across product lines.
• Support development of production and characterization test hardware for ATE applications, targeting high test coverage for wafer and final test.
• Analyze engineering test data and report results to the team (design, product engineering, qualification, etc.).
• Lead the introduction and release of mass-production test software and hardware solutions.
• Understand new chip features and define appropriate test coverage within the target test system.
Key Qualifications
• 8+ years of hands-on analog ATE test engineering experience with a BS in Electrical Engineering, or 5+ years with an MS.
• Deep, production-proven experience with the Advantest V93000 (93K) platform and SmarTest 8 (SMT8).
• Strong understanding of analog design and measurement techniques, with exposure to RF designs preferred.
• Experience with post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, debug, root cause analysis, product engineering, and foundry interaction.
• Strong programming skills in Python for test utilities, data analysis, and automation scripting, and Java for SmarTest 8 test method development.
• Knowledge of PCB design, testing, and debugging.
