Product Development Engineer

Job Title

Product Development Engineer

Role Summary

Member of the Data Center Graphics New Product Introduction (NPI) test engineering team within Product Engineering. Develop and drive ATE test solutions, hardware, and software for IVR/Fuse validation, characterization, and production to meet NPI milestones and KPIs (test time, yield, cost, quality).

Work closely with design, product, quality, reliability, software and platform teams to define test specifications, debug silicon, and support high-volume manufacturing ramps.

Experience Level

Mid-level; typically 3–5 years of direct experience in Fuse testing or ATE development is expected.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include development and validation of ATE tests and associated hardware, and supporting production ramp.

• Develop ATE test programs and test hardware (load boards, probe cards) for silicon validation, characterization, and production testing of Fuse.
• Create and debug test routines on Teradyne (UltraFlex, J750) or Advantest (V93000, T2000) platforms.
• Support test development from pre-silicon validation through high-volume manufacturing ramp.
• Perform PVT characterization across voltage, temperature, and process corners and produce detailed test reports.
• Collaborate with design and systems engineers to translate design intent into test requirements.
• Automate test data collection and post-processing using scripting and analysis tools.
• Debug silicon issues and drive root-cause analysis using ATE and bench-level instruments.
• Support test time optimization, yield improvement, and cost-reduction initiatives.

Requirements

Key technical skills and practical experience required for the role.

Must-have:

• Strong background in Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) testing and characterization.
• Hands-on experience developing and debugging test programs on Teradyne or Advantest ATE platforms.
• Experience developing ATE test programs and test hardware for silicon validation and production.
• Experience with PVT characterization and generating detailed test reports.
• Proficiency in scripting and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, or equivalent).
• Experience debugging silicon issues using both ATE and bench-level tools.
• 3–5 years of direct experience in Fuse testing or ATE development.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Hands-on experience with on-die or integrated voltage regulators in advanced CMOS nodes.
• Background in high-volume production testing and ATE-to-bench correlation.
• Familiarity with ESD/latch-up, HTOL, and reliability qualification processes.
• Experience with probe card and load board design/debug and test-cost analysis.
• Experience with lab instruments: oscilloscopes, SMUs, electronic loads, network analyzers.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a comparable discipline; equivalent practical experience acceptable.
