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 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.
• Product sustain support, including volume data analysis, test time and yield improvements, assess test escapees and Return Merchandise Authorization (RMAs), localize failures, implement containment measures and partner with design, manufacturing, quality and reliability teams to root cause and implement corrective actions.
• Develop tools, flows and methodologies to continuously improve and automate the testing life cycle.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience in test engineering.
• Experience in pre-silicon validation, test content generation, ATE program development, and post-silicon enabling from New Product Introduction (NPI) through High Volume Manufacturing (HVM).
• Experience in Python, Java, C# or C/C++ and Advantest or Teradyne ATE platforms.
• Experience with ASIC test methodologies (e.g., mbist, atpg, dft serdes, sensors).

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• 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.
• Expertise in developing automations for pre-silicon verification and post-silicon test-generation/test-program domains.
• Ability to venture into, and improve, all aspects of post-silicon testing from definition to realization.
