Senior ATE Test Engineer

Job Title

Senior ATE Test Engineer

Role Summary

Join a newly formed team responsible for taking AI-focused silicon through design validation, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing. The role leads ATE strategy, test development, and production readiness, working with Design, DFT, Validation, Product Engineering, vendors, foundries and OSATs.

This position operates in a hybrid model based in Haifa, Israel.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 8 years of experience in ATE test development, silicon test, product engineering, or related semiconductor test environments.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Define ATE test strategy and derive HW and DFT requirements to support it.
• Lead implementation of complete ATE test solutions, from test program to hardware bring-up.
• Define test plans and align with DFT on content, coverage, and deliverables.
• Partner with Test Application Engineering on tester configuration, test program content, and test flow development.
• Own test program execution, release schedules, procedures, and delivery for qualification and production.
• Define, procure, and bring up ATE hardware including load boards and probe cards.
• Optimize ATE solutions for high-volume manufacturing and deployment to OSATs.
• Drive yield improvement, test cost optimization, and manufacturing readiness.

Requirements

Must-have:

• Minimum 8 years' relevant experience in ATE test development, silicon test, or semiconductor test/product engineering.
• Strong familiarity with ASIC ATE environments (ideally Teradyne or Advantest), HVM handlers, and test hardware (load boards, probe cards).
• Hands-on ATE content development and solid understanding of DFT-driven and functional test concepts, including ATPG/Scan, MBIST, and high-speed I/O testing (PCIe, SerDes, DDR).
• Experience with OSAT production environments, including handlers, testers, test hardware, and manufacturing capacity considerations.
• Experience with test program environments such as IG-XL and/or SmarTest.
• Scripting experience in Python and/or Perl.
• Experience using data and yield analysis tools such as JMP or Spotfire.
• Proven leadership skills with the ability to align cross-functional stakeholders and manage vendor and OSAT relationships.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience as a Tech Lead, Test Lead, ATE Lead, or similar technical leadership role.
• Practical experience with AI-assisted design or engineering environments.
• Experience bringing new silicon from first silicon through high-volume manufacturing.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline; or equivalent practical experience.
