  • You must understand the design of ATE hardware, especially at high speed

  • You should have a good understanding of the semiconductor development process, including Verilog testbenches

  • You should understand what goes wrong in semiconductor design and in semiconductor manufacturing and anticipate the required test strategy

  • You understand the economics of semiconductor test

  • You will work in an environment of continuous learning, and continuous improvement. We work as a team of engineers in a collaborative environment. We expect all our engineers to work together and learn from each other. We expect you to research the latest techniques as a life-long learner.

Job Qualification:

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering

  • 5+ years of recent experience in semiconductor test development, and/or some experience in silicon verification or emulation

  • Have 5 years of hands-on experience with Advantest, Teradyne ATE, or System Level Test development on advanced FinFET or GAA SOCs, below 28nm

  • Experience with AI processors, SERDES interfaces (PCIe, USB, MIPI, etc.), HVST, scan, MBIST, or analog test is a plus.

  • Have flexible and diverse programming skills, including Verilog and Python

  • Can exhibit a record of teamwork

  • Good listener and good communicators

  • Have a history of creative problem solving in semiconductor manufacturing test development and debug
