Manager, Product and Test Engineering

Job Title

Manager, Product and Test Engineering

Role Summary

Lead the Test Development and Product Validation engineering team in Milan to define and execute test strategy, validate silicon, and drive product release from design through high-volume production for high-voltage analog and mixed-signal power ICs.

Report to the Senior Director of Engineering and coordinate with IC design, systems engineering, global manufacturing, and foundry partners to ensure quality, reliability, and manufacturability.

Experience Level

Senior - minimum of 8 years' experience in semiconductor Test Engineering; prior supervisory or lead role required.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Test Development and Product Validation engineers.
• Define and implement wafer probe and final packaged test strategies for high-voltage analog and mixed-signal ICs.
• Oversee ATE load board, probe card, and test program development and debugging (industry-standard platforms such as Teradyne ETS/Eagle 364 or similar).
• Collaborate with IC Design and Systems Engineering to define and validate Design-for-Test methods (digital scan, Iddq, SHOVE, GateStress).
• Drive silicon characterization across temperature extremes and process corners and manage Pre-Production Release (PPR) to Release to Production (RTP) transitions.
• Partner with manufacturing and foundry teams to monitor yields, lead yield-enhancement initiatives, and resolve production test issues.
• Prepare and present test metrics and technical status to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.

Requirements

Key qualifications and skills. Items listed as "Must-have" are required.

Must-have

• Minimum 8 years' experience in semiconductor Test Engineering with focus on analog, mixed-signal, or high-voltage power IC testing.
• Proven experience in a lead, principal, or supervisory role managing engineering teams or projects.
• Deep expertise in ATE test program development, debugging, and test-hardware design (schematics, PCB layout for test boards).
• Strong understanding of high-voltage testing challenges (isolation barriers, partial discharge, transient measurements).
• Familiarity with automotive qualification standards and product quality tools (AEC-Q100, ISO 26262/ASIL, DFMEA/PFMEA, APQP).
• Proficiency with scripting for test automation and data analysis (Python, C/C++ or similar).
• Effective communication, cross-functional collaboration, and analytical problem-solving skills.

Nice-to-have

• Hands-on experience with Teradyne ETS/Eagle 364 or similar mixed-signal testers and probe card development.
• Experience working with global manufacturing sites and foundry partners.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
