Test Development Engineer
Core
Lead the definition, architecture, and execution of ATE test solutions for NPI silicon programs, acting as the technical authority for the 'First Silicon' bridge to translate design specs into production-ready test programs.
Role type
Senior IC Test Development Engineer (ATE)
Builds
Robust, production-ready ATE test programs and unified test coverage for next-generation chips.
Domain
Semiconductor manufacturing / Advanced Node Silicon Testing
Required skills
ATE test program architecture, C++/Python/Java programming, silicon physics fundamentals, high-speed electronics, NPI lifecycle management, DFT integration, PVT characterization
Preferred skills
Experience with Advantest SmartScale/ExaScale platforms, PCIe Gen6/HBM4/400G+ SerDes knowledge, loadboard/probe card design collaboration
Technologies
Advantest V93000/ExaScale, SmartScale PS1600, ExaScale PS5000, C++, Python, Perl
Responsibilities
Define test flow architecture (wafer sort, final test, SLT), drive first-pass silicon bring-up and debug, develop and validate complex ATE test programs, optimize test hardware for high-speed interfaces, partner with design teams on DFT features, perform PVT characterization experiments.
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
