Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities center on designing and validating system-level production tests, driving correlation between silicon and production test infrastructure, and improving manufacturing test effectiveness.
- Partner with silicon design, characterization, IO, system feature owners, and Production Operations to define production test coverage and diagnostic content.
- Specify requirements for software and board teams to support test infrastructure, debug knobs, and data collection features.
- Co-design testability scope and coverage enhancements focused on system-level manufacturing testing.
- Prototype and tune speed, power, performance, yield, and quality on pre-production silicon.
- Develop and maintain system-level testing flows and correlate silicon findings to design changes.
- Define procedures to support correlation between production test infrastructure and internal diagnostics.
- Support customer-facing and quality teams during escalations and close coverage gaps.
- Create and track key performance indicators to evaluate new test effectiveness.
- Initiate process improvements and preventative actions using root-cause analysis.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience to perform the role.
- Strong electrical engineering fundamentals and experience with digital design, signal integrity, timing analysis, and fault analysis.
- Knowledge of sampling, statistics, and computer architecture relevant to system-level testing.
- Proven hands-on lab experience with silicon bring-up and lab debug.
- Experience with data analysis and working with large/volume datasets.
- Practical understanding of firmware/driver structures and interaction with hardware.
- Programming and scripting skills: Python, BASH; comfortable in Linux environments.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging, and logical reasoning demonstrated by prior work.
Nice to have:
- Experience with GPUs, CPUs, AI accelerators, or other large-scale SoCs in high-volume manufacturing.
- Experience using AI to accelerate production testing and debug workflows.
- History of leading multi-functional alignment on production methodologies in HVM environments.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree (or equivalent) in Microelectronics, Electrical, Electronic, or Computer Engineering; equivalent practical industry experience accepted.
