Test Engineer (HVP-DBB)

Job Title

Test Engineer (HVP-DBB)

Role Summary

Develop and validate probe and final-test programs and hardware for highly integrated multi-rail power-management integrated circuits. Collaborate with design, production, and failure-analysis teams to qualify silicon, improve yield, and release products to volume production.

Experience Level

Mid-level - approximately 3 years of relevant experience required.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include test development, characterization, and production support for power-management ICs.

• Collaborate with design team to interpret design specifications and define test requirements.
• Generate test plans and create characterization and production test programs.
• Design ATE hardware interface boards and qualification hardware.
• Debug and characterize silicon on ATE and correlate results with bench measurements.
• Analyze silicon results and support failure analysis and device debugging.
• Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout; identify root causes and implement fixes; optimize test time.
• Work with production teams to release products to volume production and support manufacturing offload.
• Define and implement test strategies for new DC-DC converter products.
• Develop and maintain ATE test hardware and software.
• Drive robust, cost-effective test solutions while ensuring product quality.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for the role; preferred items listed separately.

• Minimum ~3 years of relevant test engineering experience.
• Experience with analog ATE such as Advantest 93k or Teradyne Eagle, or equivalent (iFlex, LTX, VLCT); Advantest preferred.
• Characterization and production test program and hardware development experience.
• Data analysis experience using Spotfire, dataPower, or equivalent tools processing STDF data.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, electronic loads, etc.
• Experience in yield improvement, test-time reduction, and product engineering activities from concept to volume production.
• Strong debugging and failure-analysis skills; solid understanding of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.

• Experience with mixed-signal test techniques and developing mixed-signal tests on TI roadmap testers.
• Experience offloading test programs/hardware to offshore manufacturing sites.
• Proficiency in C++ and Python for test scripting and tooling.
• Experience with revision control tools such as Subversion and Git.
• Strong analytical, communication, teamwork, and time-management skills; ability to take initiative and drive results.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Bachelor's Degree specified in posting).
