Job Description

Broadcom is seeking a highly motivated Test Engineer to join our Semiconductor Test Engineering team. In this role, you will focus on development of production, characterization, and qualification test programs to ensure the delivery of reliable, high-performance products for Broadcom’s diverse portfolio of SoCs and ASICs. You will collaborate with design, product, and quality engineering teams to drive test coverage, optimize test time, and deliver solutions from early silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop, debug, and maintain ATE test programs for production, characterization, and qualification on the Advantest 93K test platform.
  • Perform pattern processing and conversion from design environments into tester-compatible formats.
  • Execute silicon characterization and validation across process, voltage, and temperature corners; analyze results to drive yield and performance improvements.
  • Work with DFT, design, and product engineering teams to define test requirements, improve test coverage, and close gaps.
  • Optimize test flows and methodologies to reduce overall test time and cost while ensuring high quality.
  • Drive correlation between simulation, bench, and tester environments.
  • Support high-volume manufacturing ramps, addressing test escapes, yield excursions, and test program robustness.
Qualifications

Required:

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 8+ years of related experience, or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 6+ years of related experience.
  • Strong knowledge of digital and high-speed test methodologies, scan/DFT concepts, and pattern processing.
  • Hands-on experience with ATE platforms (Advantest or equivalent).
  • Proficiency in scripting/programming languages such as Python, or C/C++.
  • Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and characterization methods.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred:

  • Experience with SoC, AI accelerators, networking, or high-speed SerDes devices.
  • Familiarity with tester load board / probe card design, bring-up, and debug.
  • Experience supporting high-volume production test and manufacturing transfer.
Compensation and Benefits

The annual base salary range for this position is $120,000 - $192,000. This position is also eligible for a discretionary annual bonus in accordance with relevant plan documents, and equity in accordance with equity plan documents and equity award agreements.
