Product/Test Engineering (NPI/NTI)

Job Title

Product/Test Engineer — NPI/NTI

Role Summary

Perform engineering for semiconductor product test development, from new-product introduction (NPI/NTI) through production ramp. Work with design, product, and test teams to define test plans, develop automated test programs, characterize and debug silicon, and implement cost- and yield-improvement test solutions.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Specific years of experience not stated.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include defining and implementing test methodologies and supporting production ramps.

• Collaborate with design and test teams to translate product specifications into test requirements and plans.
• Develop test programs for automated test equipment (ATE) focused on coverage and cost effectiveness.
• Characterize, validate, and debug new silicon at bench and system levels.
• Define design-for-testability concepts and automatic test software generation strategies.
• Innovate test methodologies to reduce development time and manufacturing cost.
• Support production ramps and investigate/resolve production issues affecting yield and cost.
• Lead cost-reduction and yield-enhancement test solutions and parallel test methodology implementation.
• Work with cross-functional teams to plan and execute test-related projects.

Requirements

Technical skills and domain knowledge required for the role.

• High-level programming experience (C/C++/Java).
• Experience with software revision control systems (Git, Bitbucket).
• Knowledge of CMOS fabrication technology.
• Assembly programming experience.
• Understanding of digital systems and circuits.
• Experience with reliability testing methods (e.g., HVST, HTOL).
• Statistical data analysis skills for test and yield assessment.
• Logic design and RTL coding experience.
• Familiarity with microprocessor architecture.

Education Requirements

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, foreign equivalent, or a related field.
