Job description

We are seeking a Senior Test Engineer to lead New Product Introduction (NPI) for precision analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits used in memory, AI, computing, and high-performance automated test equipment (ATE) applications.

This role owns the production test strategy from first silicon through high-volume manufacturing and works closely with Design, Product Engineering, Applications, Quality, Operations, and external manufacturing partners to deliver robust, cost-effective production solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead NPI activities from first silicon through production release for precision analog and mixed-signal IC products.
  • Develop complete production test solutions for wafer sort and final test using Teradyne UltraFlex IGXL and associated handlers/probers.
  • Correlate bench measurements with ATE results and establish production test limits using statistical analysis and characterization data.
  • Develop and optimize production test programs for precision DACs, current source/sink products, PMICs, analog interface ICs.
  • Design, debug, and validate load boards, probe cards, sockets, and production hardware in collaboration with external vendors.
  • Drive multisite optimization, parallel testing, throughput improvement, and overall manufacturing cost reduction.
  • Perform silicon debug and root-cause analysis for design, process, package, and test related issues.
  • Work closely with IC Design during schematic reviews, silicon bring-up, and Design-for-Test (DFT) planning.
  • Support qualification, reliability, HTOL, characterization, and customer qualification activities.
  • Develop production release documentation including correlation reports, GR&R studies, guard-banding analysis, and manufacturing specifications.
  • Transfer products into OSAT and high-volume manufacturing while providing engineering support during production ramp.
  • Develop automation tools using Python, JMP, and data analytics to improve engineering productivity and manufacturing quality.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 6 plus years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, ideally with analog or mixed signal ICs
  • Experience with Teradyne UltraFlex and or Verigy SmartScale or PinScale platforms
  • Understanding of analog testing principles and methodologies
  • Experience with vector translation tools such as Velocity or Test Insight
  • Familiarity with scan testing, JTAG, memory BIST, and loopback techniques
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

Preferences

  • Experience with test hardware development including load boards, probe cards, and sockets
  • Exposure to high volume manufacturing environments and offshore vendors
  • Experience with wafer level testing and multi-site optimization
  • Familiarity with analog simulation tools and testbench correlation
  • Interest in process improvement and test automation

The anticipated annual base salary range for this position is $106,250.00 to $166,750.00. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, education, location, and business needs.

In addition to base salary, employees may be eligible for incentive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package. This salary range represents the Company's good-faith estimate of the compensation it reasonably expects to pay for this position at the time of posting.
