Test Engineer, BMP
Texas InstrumentsJob Title
Test Engineer, BMP
Role Summary
Test engineer responsible for developing probe and final test solutions for battery monitors and protectors (power-management ICs) for automotive and industrial markets. The role spans lab characterization, ATE test program and hardware development, yield analysis, and release to volume production.
Experience Level
Mid-level β typically requires 3+ years of relevant test engineering experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include test development, silicon qualification, and production support:
- Collaborate with design teams to interpret specifications and define test requirements.
- Generate test plans; develop characterization and production test programs.
- Design ATE hardware interface boards and qual hardware for silicon testing.
- Debug silicon on ATE and correlate results with bench data; support failure analysis.
- Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout; drive yield improvements and test-time reduction.
- Work with production teams to release products to volume production and optimize test cost/time.
- Define and implement test strategy for new battery products and ensure robust test solutions.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience:
- 3+ years of relevant test engineering experience.
- ATE experience on Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE (iFlex, LTX, VLCT); Eagle preferred.
- Characterization and production test program and hardware development experience.
- Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.
- Data analysis experience using Spotfire, dataPower, or equivalent STDF-based tools.
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, electronic loads, etc.).
- Experience with product engineering tasks such as yield improvement and test-time optimization.
- Strong understanding of the IC product development process from concept through volume production.
Preferred (nice-to-have):
- Mixed-signal test techniques and experience developing tests on roadmap testers.
- Experience offloading test program and hardware to offshore manufacturing sites.
- Programming/scripting in C++, Python, or C#; revision-control tools (Subversion, Git).
- Strong analytical, communication, collaboration, and time-management skills; ability to drive results in a fast-paced environment.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required (posting specifies Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering).
