What are semiconductor ATEs?

Semiconductor ATE stands for Automated Test Equipment used in the semiconductor industry. These systems are designed to test and verify the functionality and performance of semiconductor devices, such as integrated circuits (ICs) and microchips, during manufacturing. ATEs automate the process of applying electrical signals to chips and measuring their responses to ensure they meet quality standards. They are essential for detecting faults and ensuring reliability before devices are shipped to customers.

What are some common challenges faced by a Semiconductor ATE (Automated Test Equipment) Engineer, and how can they be overcome?

Semiconductor ATE Engineers often encounter challenges such as keeping pace with rapidly evolving test technology, managing complex test program development, and troubleshooting equipment or yield issues under tight deadlines. Effective collaboration with design, process, and product engineering teams helps in quickly resolving technical problems. Staying up-to-date with the latest testing methodologies and continuously improving automation skills can also make the role more manageable. Proactively communicating with cross-functional teams and seeking mentorship can further aid in overcoming these challenges.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Semiconductor ATE (Automated Test Equipment) Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Semiconductor ATE Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, circuit analysis, and semiconductor device fundamentals, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with ATE platforms like Teradyne or Advantest, programming languages (such as C/C++ or Python), and experience with test development and debugging tools are typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure high-quality testing, efficient troubleshooting, and reliable device validation in the fast-paced semiconductor industry.

Our response is never "no, but...." instead "yes, if....". We are mindful of our personal and organizational blinders and try to build an environment where our team members are At Their Best.
Location: Minimum of 3 days a week in the office in Torrance, CA.
About The Role
We are seeking a highly experienced Principal ATE Test Engineer to lead test development and production test strategy for a high-performance integrated voltage regulator (IVR) semiconductor product line targeting advanced AI and HPC power delivery applications.
This role is focused primarily on semiconductor test engineering, spanning DFT collaboration, characterization support, wafer probe, final test, hardware development, production ramp, and manufacturing optimization. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in mixed-signal and power semiconductor test with strong leadership across silicon bring-up and high-volume manufacturing environments.
The candidate is expected to operate as a senior technical leader capable of driving test strategy independently across internal teams and external manufacturing partners.
What You Will Do
  • Define overall manufacturing test strategy for IVR silicon across wafer probe and package final test
  • Develop production screening methodologies for:
  • Analog and mixed-signal circuits
  • Integrated ADCs and telemetry
  • Digital control and state machines
  • PMBus/I2C interfaces
  • OTP/eFuse programming
  • Protection and fault-management circuitry
  • Power-stage functionality and efficiency
  • Partner with Design and DFT teams to ensure robust testability and manufacturability
  • Lead development of wafer sort and final test solutions on production ATE platforms, including:
  • ATE Test programs
  • Probe/load board hardware
  • Calibration methodologies
  • Thermal management approaches
  • Multisite test architectures
  • Drive aggressive test time reduction while maintaining production quality targets.
  • Support transition from engineering characterization flows into scalable high-volume production test
  • Support first-silicon bring-up activities and debug of manufacturing test flows
  • Support trim development, calibration algorithms, and production limit setting
  • Debug silicon, hardware, and software issues observed during characterization and manufacturing ramp

What You Bring
  • 10+ years in the semiconductor industry, with a proven track record developing manufacturing test solutions for high-volume semiconductor products.
  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Experience with mixed-signal and/or power management IC MFG test development
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Wafer probe and final test flows
    • Mixed-signal ATE methodologies
    • Yield analysis and characterization
    • Test hardware development
    • Test time optimization
    • OSAT manufacturing flows
  • Experience with high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environments
  • Strong debugging capability across silicon, hardware, software, and manufacturing domains
  • Experience working with foundries and outsourced manufacturing/test partners
  • Familiarity with PMBus, I2C, telemetry, and power management architectures
  • Experience with Advantest, Teradyne, or Cohu mixed-signal/power ATE platforms
  • Understanding of DFT methodologies for mixed-signal SoCs

Salary Range: $160k-$200k. This represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience, skills, and other factors.
Our Red Cell Partners Benefits:
For full-time roles
  • Career track opportunity with potential for rapid advancement with strong performance as the firm grows
  • 100% employer paid, comprehensive health care including medical, dental, and vision for you and your family.
  • Paid maternity and paternity for 14 weeks at employees' normal pay.
