Production/ATE Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Lead system bring-up, functional validation, characterization, and qualification of AI semiconductor products from first silicon through production release.

• Develop validation strategies, test plans, and qualification methodologies covering silicon, FPGA platforms, evaluation boards, firmware, drivers, SDKs, and production test environments.

• Design and execute functional, performance, reliability, and stress test plans to verify product functionality, robustness, and customer requirements.

• Collaborate with IC Design, Analog, Digital, Device, Compiler, Software, Firmware, and Product Engineering teams to identify root causes and resolve complex silicon and system-level issues.

• Develop automated validation tools and test frameworks using Python, C/C++, or scripting languages to improve test efficiency, regression coverage, and data analysis.

• Analyze validation results, debug hardware and software issues, and drive corrective actions to improve product quality, reliability, and manufacturability.

• Define validation metrics, release criteria, and customer qualification requirements while supporting engineering samples, customer evaluations, and production readiness.

• Work closely with Product Engineering and Manufacturing teams to ensure smooth transition from engineering validation to high-volume manufacturing.

• Mentor validation engineers, establish best practices for validation methodologies, documentation, and debug workflows, and drive continuous process improvements.

• Support customer demonstrations, field validation, and technical engagements while representing the validation team during design reviews, qualification milestones, and product releases.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in semiconductor functional validation, silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, or system validation.
• Strong experience debugging ASICs, SoCs, FPGA platforms, and embedded systems.
• Experience with laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, power analyzers, and signal generators.
• Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or scripting languages for test automation and data analysis.
• Strong understanding of digital interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, JTAG, PCIe, USB, or Ethernet.
• Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with AI accelerators, RRAM, MRAM, Compute-in-Memory (CIM), or advanced memory technologies.
• Experience with FPGA-based prototyping and system bring-up.
• Familiarity with DFT methodologies, production ATE, and silicon characterization.
• Experience developing automated regression frameworks and validation infrastructure.
• Knowledge of Linux environments, Git, CI/CD workflows, and version control systems.
• Experience supporting customer qualification, product certification, and high-volume manufacturing.
