MTS - Product Development Engineer

Job Title

MTS - Product Development Engineer

Role Summary

The Member of Technical Staff (MTS) in Product Development Engineering develops and validates full‑chip test methodologies, on‑chip DFT, ATE programs, and leads first‑silicon debug to ensure FPGA product manufacturability and quality.

The role works across design, software, manufacturing, and product teams to embed test capability, optimize test cost and yield, and stabilize production.

Experience Level

Senior - minimum 10 years of experience in semiconductor product development, test engineering, or equivalent roles.

Responsibilities

Primary engineering responsibilities and technical leadership tasks.

• Define, develop, verify, and optimize full‑chip test methodologies and on‑chip DFT strategies, including test vector generation and coverage analysis.
• Design and implement automated test equipment (ATE) programs for scalable, accurate production testing.
• Lead first‑silicon debug and root‑cause analysis; drive corrective actions to ensure product reliability.
• Collaborate with global cross‑functional teams (design, software, manufacturing, product engineering) to integrate test capability across the product lifecycle.
• Drive test optimization efforts to reduce cost, improve quality, and accelerate production stability.
• Develop HMDT & UFP test modules, convert test patterns (e.g., STIL to pobj), and validate test programs on testers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; concise list of expectations.

• Minimum 10 years of experience in semiconductor product development or test engineering focused on FPGA or similar products.
• Strong knowledge of digital and analog circuits and test methodologies for complex ICs.
• Proficiency in scripting for test development and automation (TCL, PERL).
• Proven silicon debug, analytical, and troubleshooting abilities for complex faults.
• Experience collaborating with global, cross‑functional teams and mentoring engineers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Nice-to-have: hands-on experience with ATE testers, test program validation, and test pattern conversion workflows.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent). Equivalent practical experience in semiconductor test/product development is acceptable.
