Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Architecture, Design and Verification teams to develop new product bring-up, validation, characterization, and qualification strategies and manufacturing test solutions for new High Performance Computing (HPC) products in advanced process technologies.
• Verify test solutions on pre-silicon models (simulation or emulation) and develop Automated Test Equipment (ATE) test modules and binning flows.
• Develop and validate test programs on Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platforms for new product integration (NPI) in preparation for high-volume manufacturing (HVM), working with ATE vendors and internal cross-functional teams.
• Manage product sustainment support, including analyzing volume data, improving test time and yield, assessing test escapees and return merchandise authorizations (RMAs), localizing failures, implementing containment measures, and partnering with design, manufacturing, and quality and reliability teams to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Build tools, flows and methodologies to continuously improve and automate the testing life-cycle.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10 years of experience in test engineering.
• Experience in pre-silicon validation, test content generation, automatic test equipment (ATE) program development, and post-silicon enabling from new product introduction (NPI) through high-volume manufacturing.
• Experience with ASIC test methodologies (MBIST, ATPG, DFT, SerDes, and sensors).
• Experience with Python, Java, C# or C/C++ and Advantest or Teradyne ATE platforms.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 10 years of experience in test engineering, including product engineering.
• Experience with CPU/GPU SoC architecture, design, validation and debug.
• Experience in advanced testing methodologies and data analysis, including system to tester correlation, yield and test time analysis and improvement, etc.
• Demonstrated expertise in developing automations for pre-silicon verification and post-silicon test-generation/test-program domains.
• Inquisitive and motivated to venture into, and improve, all aspects of post-silicon testing from definition to realization.
