Test Engineer

Job Title

Test Engineer

Role Summary

Develop and optimize semiconductor test solutions for advanced battery-charging power-management devices. Work with design, validation, product, and manufacturing teams to create robust, cost-effective Automated Test Equipment (ATE) programs and hardware that ensure product quality from initial silicon through volume production.

Experience Level

Mid-level - minimum 3 years of relevant experience with integrated power management devices.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities focus on ATE program and hardware development, silicon characterization, yield improvement, and supporting new product introduction.

• Develop test plans, create test and characterization programs, and design ATE hardware interface boards.
• Debug and characterize silicon on ATE; correlate ATE results with bench data.
• Analyze silicon results and support failure analysis and device qualification.
• Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug yield issues, and optimize test time.
• Define and implement test strategies for new battery-charging products; support release to volume production.
• Design and develop ATE hardware and software for qualification and production.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust, cost-effective test solutions and product quality.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience.

• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience with integrated power-management devices.
• ATE experience on Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE.
• Experience developing characterization and production test programs and associated hardware.
• Strong knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, electronic loads, etc.

Nice-to-have / preferred:

• Experience with iFlex, LTX, VLCT or other analog testers; Eagle experience is a differentiator.
• Data analysis using STDF-based tools (Spotfire, dataPower) and statistical tools.
• Programming or scripting in C++, Python, or C#; experience with LabVIEW and TestStand.
• Revision control experience (Subversion, Git) and experience offloading test programs/hardware to offshore manufacturing sites.
• Experience with yield improvement, test time reduction, and NPI/product engineering activities.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required.
