About the job
At TI, Test Engineers leverage strong technical knowledge working hands-on to bring differentiated power solutions to our customers globally. Test Engineers also partner closely with Design, Test, Systems and Application engineers to ensure our power solutions are both meeting customer and market requirements and are cost-wise optimized.
You will also own production stability end-to-end - resolving critical manufacturing, test, yield, and reliability issues with urgency while eliminating recurring problems through rigorous root-cause and permanent corrective action. You will develop and execute strategies to continuously improve yield and reduce test cost and execute platforms conversions across the product portfolio, working directly with factory teams to implement solutions and sustain gains on the production floor.
About the role and team:
- Work with the design team to understand design specifications and system challenges
- Generate test plan, create test and char program, design ATE hardware interface boards
- Debug characterizing silicon on ATE, and 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 the production team to release products to volume production
- Test strategy definition and implementation for controller and power stage devices
- Silicon qualification, including the qual program development
- Comprehensive device debugging, design validation, and failure analysis
- Drive for robust and cost-effective test solutions while being accountable for product quality
- Work with the design and Firmware team to support customer needs, implement custom features in FW. Close collaboration with FW and validation teams to understand the device issues and bugs and find the FW level workaround for the fix.
Minimum requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field of study
- 5+ years of relevant experience
Preferred qualifications:
- Strong fundamentals in electronics: RC networks, operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, GaN, etc.
- Experience in silicon bring-up and debug, and characterization on tester platforms such as ETS/UFlex/UFlex+.
- Expertise in schematic design for Hardware/Device Interface Board (HIB/DIB)
- Experience in writing test plan and designing test cases
- Should be able to lead a project from planning to production release
- Experienced with test program and hardware offload to TI offshore manufacturing sites
- Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
- Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
- Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
- Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
- 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.
