Basic Qualifications
- Strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering. At minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE is required, and a Master’s is preferred.
- Coursework related to semiconductor manufacturing, testing, yield, or related areas
- Professional attitude with ability to execute on multiple tasks with minimal supervision.
- Strong team player with good communication skills to work alongside a team of high caliber engineers.
- Entrepreneurial, open-mind behavior and can-do attitude.
Preferred Experience
- Hands-on experience with high-speed mixed signal SoC test program/hardware development on multiple high-speed test platforms.
- Collaboration with design team to define test strategy, create and own test plan.
- Tester platform selection, design, and development of ATE hardware for wafer sort and final test.
- Familiar with high-speed load board design techniques.
- Proven track record of implementing ATE patterns to optimize tester resources and minimize ATE test time while maintaining product quality.
- Strong knowledge and development of DFT techniques implemented in silicon that provide maximum defect and parametric device coverage – SCAN, MEMBIST, SerDes and other functional tests.
- Skilled in control interfaces – I2C, I3C, SPI, MDIO, JTAG etc.
- Expertise in production test of high speed SerDes operating at 16Gbps and higher.
- Skilled in ATE programming, silicon/ATE bring-up, bench-ATE correlation and debug.
- Experience with lab equipment including protocol analyzers and oscilloscopes.
- Experience with using Advantest 93k ATE platform.
- Proficiency in, at least, one modern programming language such as C/C++, Python.
The base hourly pay for this role is $35-45. Your base pay will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.
