ATE Test Development Engineer
BroadcomJob Title
ATE Test Development Engineer
Role Summary
Develop and validate automated test equipment (ATE) test programs and flows for ASIC products using Advantest and ExaScale platforms. Work with cross-functional teams to support failure analysis, qualification testing, and deployment of test methodologies that meet performance and power requirements.
Experience Level
Senior — 8+ years of relevant experience (hands-on ATE test development and debugging).
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include developing test programs and methods, diagnosing failures at ATE, and supporting qualification and R&D test activities.
- Develop test flows, test methods and validate test programs on ATE platforms.
- Create characterization test programs and diagnostic screens for RMA and failure isolation.
- Drive R&D and deploy innovative structural and functional test methodologies.
- Support qualification testing, failure verification, and specification searches.
- Perform electrical and thermal root-cause analysis of ATE issues.
- Test parts, analyze results, and present technical reports to stakeholders.
- Collaborate with test-hardware and cross-functional teams to understand chip behavior on ATE.
- Execute extreme-temperature testing and volume-data analysis to correlate failures.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role.
- Hands-on experience with Advantest and/or Teradyne tester platforms; experience with Advantest 93K and ExaScale is valued.
- Experience with SmarTest (SmarTest7/SmarTest8) operating environments.
- Proven ability to independently develop complex test programs and flows addressing performance and power specs.
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills for failure mechanisms observed at ATE.
- Programming experience required for test method development.
- Proficiency in volume data analysis and the use of data-analysis tools/languages to correlate failures.
- Experience working with test-hardware teams and understanding hardware contributions to chip behavior on ATE.
- Experience with extreme-temperature ATE testing.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering is specified; the role also requires 8+ years of relevant experience.
