New College Graduates Overview: We offer many full-time employment paths for recent graduates, which provide accelerated training in a fast-paced work environment, cross-functional working opportunities, and talent mobility. New college graduates are provided with mentorship, networking, and leadership opportunities, which give our new team members life-long connections and skills.
Summary of Role: Join the New Product Development team as an early-career Test Engineer responsible for developing and productizing cost-effective automated test solutions for complex digital, analog, and mixed-signal integrated circuits used in automotive and industrial applications. You will contribute across the full product lifecycle, from pre-silicon test strategy through silicon bring-up, qualification, manufacturing release, yield improvement, and cost reduction on Advantest and Teradyne ATE platforms.
Essential Responsibilities include: - Support pre-silicon planning by translating product requirements and datasheets into technical specifications, specification-compliance matrices, design-for-test requirements, and ATE test plans.
- Assist with the design of cost-effective ATE hardware and resource allocation that improve multisite efficiency and pin multiplexing for silicon bring-up, validation, and production release.
- Develop, bring up, validate, and debug automated test programs for digital, analog, and mixed-signal integrated circuits on Advantest and Teradyne ATE platforms.
- Analyze test and characterization data to investigate design margins, wafer-fabrication process variation, parametric performance, yield, and test-time opportunities.
- Support process-window experiments, silicon and package qualification activities, and product specification compliance across automotive, industrial, or commercial requirements.
- Collaborate with Design, DFT, Design Validation, Program Management, Quality and Reliability Engineering, Customer Quality Engineering, Bench Characterization, Applications, Fab, Assembly, and factory Test teams.
- Contribute to ATE test hardware, socket design, board schematics, layout, diagnostic code, and test automation specifications under the guidance of experienced engineers.
- Document gaps, lessons learned, and best practices, and contribute reusable methods to the Standard Test Methods Library (STML) across ATE platforms.
- Own assigned products from silicon bring-up through manufacturing release, drive product-entitlement targets and critical ramp metrics, and support test-time, yield, burn-in, and manufacturing-flow improvements.
Other Responsibilities: - Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
Required Qualifications: - Education - Graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field from an accredited degree program.
- Must have at least an overall 3.0 GPA and proven good academic standing.
- Language Fluency - English (Written & Verbal)
- Experience in semiconductor test, design-for-test (DFT), or integrated-circuit design.
- Proficiency in one or more programming languages, including C, C++, Python, or Perl.
Preferred Qualifications: - Prior related internship or co-op experience.
- Demonstrated prior leadership experience in the workplace, school projects, competitions, etc.
- Strong interest in leveraging AI tools and emerging technologies to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support effective decision-making.
- Project management skills, i.e. the ability to innovate and execute solutions that matter; the ability to navigate ambiguity.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Strong planning & organizational skills
- Experience with Advantest or Teradyne ATE platforms.
- Knowledge of ATE architecture and experience developing low-level test code.
- Experience testing digital, analog, or mixed-signal integrated circuits.
- Experience with silicon characterization, qualification, or manufacturing ramp.
- Familiarity with applicable automotive, industrial, or commercial semiconductor qualification standards.
