Sr. Staff Engineer, Test Engineering

Job Title

Sr. Staff Engineer, Test Engineering

Role Summary

Develop and validate automated test programs and tester hardware for high-speed semiconductor products to ensure production meets specifications and yield targets.

Work with design, DFT/DFM, product engineering and manufacturing to make features testable, optimize test flow, and release production test programs.

Experience Level

Senior. Typical: 5–10 years of related experience; role expects significant ATE and high-speed digital testing experience (see Requirements for specific years).

Responsibilities

The role focuses on development, validation, and release of ATE-based test solutions for characterization, wafer sort and production.

• Develop test programs on Advantest 93K (EXAScale) and Teradyne UflexPlus platforms for characterization, wafer sort, and production.
• Design and validate tester hardware for high-speed testing.
• Create detailed test plans, test methodologies, and supporting documentation to meet product specifications.
• Convert design simulation patterns into ATE formats and integrate them into test flows.
• Participate in testability reviews with DFT/DFM teams to define and improve yield and test methodology.
• Lead test flow optimization, reduce test time, and drive release of production test programs with product engineers.
• Develop new testing strategies or code when existing equipment capabilities are insufficient.
• Collaborate with design, product, and manufacturing teams to troubleshoot and resolve test-related issues.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 6+ years of test program development experience on the Advantest 93K ATE platform.
• Demonstrable experience in ATE testing, test methodology, silicon process understanding, and DFT/DFM.
• 4+ years of high-speed digital testing experience.
• Proficiency with C/C++, Perl, Python, and working in a Linux environment.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills; ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
• Accountability and a sense of urgency to support production readiness and yield improvements.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. The posting specifies Bachelor's +5–10 years of related experience or Master's +3–5 years. No certifications or explicit language about equivalent practical experience were listed.
