Opportunity Overview

The Senior Hardware Engineer in the hardware group is responsible for designing, developing, and validating highcurrent, highpower sourcing and switching hardware used in semiconductor automated test equipment. This role focuses on power delivery architecture, fast transient response, load regulation, protection systems, thermal management, and systemlevel integration to support advanced SoCs, FPGAs, highpower devices, and complex test conditions. The engineer owns powerdelivery modules from concept through production release and collaborates across hardware, firmware, mechanical, and test engineering teams.

Power Delivery Architecture & Design

• Architect and design highcurrent power delivery modules (from mA to 100+ A) for ATE systems.
• Develop fastresponse voltage/current sourcing circuits optimized for dynamic load conditions, droop control, and transient performance.
• Implement advanced powerstage topologies (buck, multiphase, linear, hybrid) tailored for semiconductor test environments.
• Design for wide operating ranges, including highvoltage rails, lowvoltage/highcurrent rails, and dynamic voltage scaling.

Power Integrity & Transient Performance

• Optimize power integrity across the full PDN (instrumentation cabling loadboard DUT).
• Model and mitigate droop, overshoot, ringing, and ground bounce under fast load steps.
• Perform simulation and analysis of loop stability, compensation networks, and transient response.
• Ensure compliance with DUT powerup sequencing, ramp rates, and timing constraints.

Protection, Reliability & Safety

• Design robust protection systems including OCP, OVP, OTP, shortcircuit protection, and faultisolation mechanisms.
• Implement fast faultresponse circuits to protect sensitive DUTs and ATE hardware.
• Conduct reliability analysis, derating studies, and thermal modeling for longterm stability.
• Support HALT/HASS, stress testing, and failuremode investigations.

Switching, Routing & Load Management

• Develop efficient highcurrent solutions for routing power to multiple DUT pins or sites.
• Engineer lowimpedance, lowloss paths for highcurrent delivery with attention to thermal and mechanical constraints.
• Collaborate with mechanical teams on heatsinking, airflow, and thermal interface design.

BringUp, Debug & Validation

• Lead bringup of new powerdelivery modules, performing rootcause analysis of analog, digital, and mixedsignal issues.
• Execute characterization plans for load regulation, transient response, efficiency, thermal behavior, and fault handling.
• Use advanced lab equipment (power analyzers, highbandwidth scopes, current probes, electronic loads) to validate performance.

ATE System Integration

• Ensure powerdelivery modules meet ATE systemlevel requirements for timing, triggering, synchronization, and software control.
• Collaborate with firmware teams on control loops, telemetry, calibration, and faultreporting algorithms.
• Create and use ATE test programs to validate instrument and system level designs.
• Support integration with loadboards, probecards, and DUT powerdelivery networks.

CrossFunctional Collaboration

• Work with product engineering, test engineering, and silicon teams to define powerdelivery requirements for new devices.
• Provide technical mentorship and contribute to powerdelivery design standards and best practices.

All About You

• 8- 10+ years of experience in power electronics, highcurrent power delivery, or instrumentation hardware design.
• Strong expertise in switching power supplies, multiphase regulators, linear regulators, and powerstage design.
• Experience with power integrity, transient analysis, and compensation/stability design.
• Proficiency with SPICE simulation, PDN modeling tools, and PCB design tools.
• Handson experience with power measurement equipment and highcurrent test setups.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills.

• Experience designing powerdelivery modules for ATE instrumentation.
• Knowledge of dynamic voltage scaling, digital power control, and telemetry systems.
• Familiarity with highcurrent connectors, cabling, and lowimpedance mechanical design.
• Understanding of thermal modeling, heatsink design, and systemlevel thermal constraints.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
