Staff Engineer, MEMS Test Engineering - Product Development

Job Title

Staff Engineer, MEMS Test Engineering - Product Development

Role Summary

Design and deliver test solutions and methods for MEMS devices (accelerometers, gyroscopes) and IMU products through characterization, qualification, and manufacturing. Work on multi-site test hardware/software, calibration methods, and transfer of engineering test solutions to production.

Role provides technical leadership across product development and manufacturing, and includes partial telecommute (2 days/week).

Experience Level

Senior level (Staff Engineer). The posting indicates an expectation equivalent to approximately 5+ years in test engineering or related roles.

Responsibilities

The core responsibilities focus on developing test methods and ensuring products meet specification from first silicon to production.

• Design and develop high-performance test hardware and software for MEMS (accelerometers, gyroscopes) for verification, characterization, qualification, wafer probe and final test.
• Define calibration methods for IMU product parameters and set test limits used for datasheets.
• Design PCBs and multi-site test fixtures; define test schematics and work with layout engineers.
• Develop and debug ATE test programs; correlate bench verification to production test results.
• Transfer production test solutions to manufacturing sites and support manufacturing to maintain yield and quality.
• Participate in new product development teams, evaluate new test systems, and define test specifications for MEMS/IMU devices.
• Mentor junior engineers and manage technical project schedules aligned with product introductions.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; concise list of required capabilities follows.

• Proven programming ability in object-oriented and scripting languages for device/test automation.
• Experience with design verification tools and flows (e.g., Verilog, Verilog simulators, SPICE or equivalent).
• Experience developing software on major ATE platforms and integrating custom PCBs to ATE systems.
• Demonstrated experience designing hardware and software to characterize and production-test analog/mixed-signal ICs.
• Skill using statistical analysis for product validation and setting production/test limits.
• Experience with design-for-testability, product qualification, and inertial test methodologies/specifications.
• Proven ability to release products to production and work cross-functionally with Quality, Reliability, Applications, Assembly, Failure Analysis, and Operations.
• Excellent troubleshooting and problem-resolution skills for test equipment and test flow issues.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or a related technical field is required (foreign equivalents accepted). The posting specifies five (5) years of relevant experience as a Test Engineer or related role; experience may be partially satisfied by progress in a PhD program. Master's or PhD in related fields are relevant but not required.
