You may even have to write new code or develop new testing strategies when our chips outpace the capabilities of current testing equipment.
  • Develop production and characterization ATE test programs and hardware. Understand test requirements, test methodologies and test strategies.
  • Collaborate with Design teams on new products from debug, characterization to full production.
  • Manage production test programs at various manufacturing sites. Support new product qualification and transfer.
