DFT Quality Engineer

Broadcom's ASIC Product Division is seeking candidates for DFT Quality Engineer position at our Andover design center in MA. In this role, you will play a crucial part in ensuring the Quality, Yield & Test Costs in our products through Research & Development of comprehensive Design for Test (DFT) structures, patterns & test strategies. You will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams & customers to develop, implement, and validate DFT methodologies, guaranteeing that our products meet the highest quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with Key HPC/AI customers -- driving test, quality and reliability (in-field) improvements
  • DPM improvements both at Time0 tests -- and in-field failures (e.g., Silent Data Corruption failures)
  • Develop/drive improvements using the RMA process. (including ATE characterization, fault diagnosis, etc.)
• Drive production test improvements for quality & test cost/test time (including data collection & analysis)  
• Drive best methods into production.
  • fault models
  • test conditions
  • optimized test content across test steps
  • wafer test, final test and SLT.  Collaborate with customers on board, system, in-field results to improve chip/ATE/SLT testing.
  • data analytics for test/yield optimization (outlier analysis, etc)
