Full Job Description
Renesas is seeking a Principal Test Architect for our Analog and Mixed-Signal division. The Test Architecture team provides technical leadership for semiconductor test methodology, design-for-test strategy, test infrastructure, and process optimization across Renesas' analog and mixed-signal product portfolio. This role partners closely with design, product, and test engineering teams to drive test innovation from new product introduction through high-volume manufacturing. Key Responsibilities • Define and drive test architecture, methodology, and innovation for analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products. • Partner with IC design, product engineering, and test engineering teams to establish design-for-test (DFT) requirements and optimize product testability. • Architect and optimize mixed-signal test hardware and software solutions to improve test quality, throughput, cost, and manufacturability. • Evaluate and influence tester roadmap, test methodologies, and process improvements across the organization. • Provide technical leadership and mentorship on test strategies, best practices, and problem-solving for complex semiconductor products. Qualifications • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline with 10+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering or a closely related field. Candidates with backgrounds in product engineering, characterization, silicon validation, applications engineering, or analog/mixed-signal IC design and significant test development experience will also be considered. • Extensive Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) development experience and proven track record developing production test solutions on platforms such as Advantest 93K, ETS, Teradyne FLEX, Diamondx, LTX, SPEA, or similar systems. • Experience designing test hardware and software for mixed-signal test solutions, including both test hardware and software for wafer sort and final test. • Experience with all aspects of new product introduction, from customer samples and qualification to characterization and production test systems. • Experience testing analog, mixed-signal, data converter, power management, and related semiconductor devices. Familiarity with digital interfaces, memory technologies. The theory of operation of these products is highly desirable. • Experience with analog or mixed-signal IC design and related development tools a plus but not required. • Thorough understanding of electrical engineering principles. We believe in rewarding our employees with a competitive benefits package alongside their salary. More information will be provided during the hiring process.
