Principle Product and Test Engineer

This position offers a great opportunity to work with industry leading semiconductor devices, targeted for broad applications in Automotive and Industrial markets. In this role, you will be part of New Product Development team, tasked with supporting product lines and business P&Ls for new product development and execution. Activities include defining Analog and Digital DfT strategies, developing low-cost test solutions for complex Analog, Mixed Signal, and Digital roadmap products on Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platforms, and productizing ICs in-line with business goals and growth projections. Knowledge and experience with software development across C/C++, Python, Java is necessary. Candidate should know ATE platform architecture and programming languages to develop low level ATE code for Analog / Mix Signal test blocks. Your goal is to design and productize deep Analog and Mix Signal, automated test solutions, enabling benchmarks in quality, code efficiencies, and test-cost goals.

Primary responsibilities will include:

• Own and drive new product development across various businesses and product lines within the BU.
• Drive best-in-class DfT strategies (Analog / Digital BiST solutions) for benchmark Cost-of-Test.
• Own pre-silicon activities such as ATE Test Plan generation, HW design, and test program development.
• Own post-silicon bring-up, validation, characterization, and qualification activities, fostering execution to fastest time-to-market.
• Own entitlement goals for product execution, overall product cost (yields, test-times, multi-sites), and product quality.
• Define, own, and impact continuous upkeep and maintenance of test program generation utilities and standard test method libraries.
• Must be able to update / modify existing code with innovation and improvisation focused on efficiency and test-cost reduction.
• Act as an interface between ATE vendor, BU PE, and Design team to define test automation requirements and checklists.
• Good understanding of ATE system architecture (ETS800, T2K, IFlex, etc.) and able to work with vendor to develop low level automation code.

Good IC test knowledge and background, across digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal, along with knowledge of ATE platforms, DfT strategies, test methods, and test instrumentation requirements for various Analog, Mixed-Signal, and Digital tests is critical. Having additional experience and knowledge of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Serdes, LPDDR, CSI/DSI, etc.) is considered a plus. Knowledge of high-voltage (>1kV) test requirements and care-abouts is a must. Prior hands-on experience across DfT, Automated Test Equipment for IC testing, and good understanding of ATE system architectures is required.

• BSEE with minimum 10 yrs of experience working Product / Test in Analog, Mixed Signal, Digital space.
• Experience working with ATE platforms.
• Proficient in multiple ATE software coding languages including but not limited to C/C++, Python, Java.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, working with cross-functional teams across multiple different internal development and factory sites.
• Excellent interpersonal skills - energetic, motivated, and self-driven.
• Demonstrate ability to work well within a global team environment with minimal supervision.
• Strong organizational skills; demonstrate ability to manage multiple tasks.
