ATE Test Development Engineer

Job Title

ATE Test Development Engineer

Role Summary

Develop and transfer GPU, Tegra and Automotive products from design to mass production by creating, validating and maintaining ATE (automated test equipment) test programs and methodologies.

Work with cross-functional engineering and overseas manufacturing teams to improve test coverage, increase yield and reduce production cost.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The role expects approximately 3+ years of relevant experience in IC design, application testing, or ATE testing.

Responsibilities

The engineer will own ATE test program bring-up and production support, test methodology, and tools to support mass production.

• Define, develop, implement and support ATE test program bring-up, characterization and production for GPU/Tegra/Automotive products.
• Construct or enhance test methods and integrate timings, levels, patterns, TM and test flow into test programs.
• Characterize and debug test programs; drive improvements in test quality and efficiency.
• Collaborate with Product Development Engineering, DFT, and IC design teams to debug product failures and implement solutions.
• Write and maintain scripts and tools to automate test engineering tasks and improve group productivity.
• Support overseas manufacturing teams on test implementation, capacity and yield improvements.

Requirements

Core technical skills and practical experience required for on-production ATE testing.

Must-have

• 3+ years of experience in IC design, application testing, or ATE testing of VLSI.
• Hands-on experience with Advantest 93K ATE platform (SmarTest 7 and 8).
• Strong debugging and analytical skills; ability to root-cause test and product failures.
• Working communication and teamwork skills for cross-functional collaboration.
• Understanding of DFT insertion techniques including SCAN, ATPG, MBIST and IOBIST.

Nice-to-have

• Analog circuit design experience (PLL design).
• System-level testing/validation and active thermal management knowledge.
• Product engineering experience: yield analysis, vmin/fmax characterization, defect analysis.
• Experience with Linux and programming/scripting (Perl, Python, C/C++, Java).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
