Change the world. Love your job.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that drives testing of highly integrated multi-rail power management devices going into markets with significant growth potential. The ideal candidate would have a background that includes probe and final test development of complex mixed signal circuits.
The Test Engineer will design, develop, and maintain automated test solutions for Battery‑Gauge integrated circuits (ICs). Working closely with the firmware (FW) team, product engineering (PE) group, and key customers, you will ensure that test programs, hardware, and processes meet quality, cost, and schedule targets throughout product development and release cycles.
Responsibilities include:
- Work with design team to understand design specifications
- Generate test plan, create test and char program, design ATE hardware interface boards
- Debug characterizing silicon on ATE, correlate results with bench data
- Analyze silicon results, supporting failure analysis tasks
- Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug and fix yield issues; optimize test time
- Work with production team to release products to volume production
- Test strategy definition and implementation for new DCDC converter products
- ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) test hardware and software
- Silicon qualification& characterization including qual hardware development
- Comprehensive device debugging, design validation and failure analysis
- Drive for robust and cost effective test solutions while being accountable for product quality
Minimum requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
- 3 years of relevant experience
- ATE experience on Teradyne J750 or equivalent analog ATE Eagle (ETS800) platforms, although J750 experience is preferred and is a differentiator
- Characterization test program and hardware development experience, Production test program and hardware development experience
- Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, and Analog test techniques
- Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower or equivalent tool based on STDF
- Experienced with various lab equipment such as scopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, loads etc.
- Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test time reduction
- Strong understanding of the IC product development process, from concept to volume production
Preferred qualifications:
- Proven experience developing test programs for analog or mixed‑signal ICs on Teradyne J750 and/or ETS800 platforms, although J750 experience is preferred and is a differentiator
- Strong background in automated test hardware design (load boards, probe cards, fixtures).
- Programming proficiency in C/C++, Python, and/or ATE‑specific languages such as IG‑XL.
- Hands‑on knowledge of analog measurement techniques (supply current, output regulation, switching frequency, noise).
- Solid understanding of power‑management IC architectures (converters, LDOs, battery‑management, protection devices, gate drivers).
- In‑depth grasp of semiconductor device fundamentals (CMOS, BJTs, MOSFETs, bandgaps, references, amplifiers, comparators).
- Experience with statistical process control, test data analysis, and yield improvement.
- Familiarity with Design‑for‑Test (DFT) concepts applied to analog IC testing.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with design, product engineering, firmware, and manufacturing teams.
- Strong communication skills and a proactive, results‑driven attitude capable of advancing test development on tight schedules.
- The future starts here. As a TIer, you'll play a critical role in defining the next era of semiconductor technology and help create the innovations that shape the world around us.
