Test Engineer, Space Power

Job Title

Test Engineer, Space Power

Role Summary

Design, develop, and execute test strategies and production/test programs for power integrated circuits. The role combines hands-on lab validation, test-hardware design, ATE test-program development, and data analysis to ensure product quality and manufacturability.

The position sits on a product/test engineering team supporting space power products and requires coordination with cross-functional teams including design, manufacturing, quality, and assembly.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 3+ years of product/test engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include lab and test-program work, analysis, and cross-functional execution.

• Plan and perform lab validation and debug of power semiconductor devices and ICs.
• Design test hardware and fixtures for lab and production use.
• Develop, debug, and optimize ATE test programs and ATE simulator test sequences.
• Identify critical test points, balance test coverage versus cost, and optimize production test time.
• Troubleshoot test programs and device failures; implement corrective actions for customer returns.
• Analyze test data, prepare concise technical findings, and present results to stakeholders.
• Develop and implement test standards, processes, and methodologies to improve quality and reliability.
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, quality, FAB, and assembly teams on test requirements and yield improvements.
• Manage project tasks, schedules, and deliverables in a multi-tasking environment.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications summarized separately below.

• Must-have: 3+ years of product/test engineering experience in semiconductor device testing and troubleshooting.
• Must-have: Practical experience with ATE equipment and developing or maintaining production test programs.
• Must-have: Proven problem-solving skills and ability to work across global, cross-functional teams.
• Nice-to-have: ATE programming experience (ETS364 preferred) and advanced ATE usage.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with data analysis tools (e.g., SpotFire DXP, MBayse) and engineering statistics.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with GaN technology, manufacturing robustness validation, and corrective-action development for returns.
• Nice-to-have: Experience optimizing production test programs to maximize coverage while minimizing test time.
• Nice-to-have: Strong presentation, project management, and organizational skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
