Staff Test Development Engineer
Analog DevicesJob Title
Staff Test Development Engineer
Role Summary
Lead development and deployment of automated test solutions for semiconductor products across characterization through high-volume production. Own test strategy, test program development, silicon bring-up support, yield improvement, and provide technical leadership within global test teams.
The role requires collaboration with R&D and manufacturing to meet quality, yield, and cost targets.
Experience Level
Senior — 5–8+ years of semiconductor test development experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include owning test strategy, developing ATE programs, and supporting manufacturing and yield efforts.
- Lead development, debugging, and release of ATE test programs from characterization through production.
- Define test strategy, coverage, limits, and optimization to meet quality, yield, and cost targets.
- Support silicon bring-up, correlation, and test transfer between R&D and manufacturing.
- Analyze test data to drive yield improvement, reduce test time, and increase robustness.
- Provide testability feedback during design reviews and influence DFT/test architecture.
- Act as technical escalation point for complex production or customer test issues.
- Mentor junior engineers and share best practices across global test teams.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills, hands-on experience, and workplace expectations.
- Hands-on experience with ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest, Teradyne) and test hardware.
- Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or similar scripting/programming languages.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor devices, test methodologies, and statistical analysis.
- Proven ability to own end-to-end test solutions and drive test transfer to manufacturing.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and cross-functionally.
- Experience influencing technical direction and mentoring junior engineers.
- Required travel: approximately 10%.
Education Requirements
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
