Ate Testing Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Develop ATE test solutions for semiconductor ICs in different domains, such as Power management / Digital / mixed-signal or RF.
• Be a primary contact to interact with customer/vendors (design/support teams).
• Work with the design/DFT team to develop the detailed test procedure from the device datasheet.
• Develop and lead the hardware design activity (Probe cards / Final test load boards), develop schematics, and provide placement/layout guidelines to the PCB design engineer.
• Silicon bring-up using ATE tools such as Teradyne, Advantest, etc. (Uflex, Ultra Flex, IFlex, UltraFlex +, V 93K, ETS 88, ETS 364.
• ATE software development as per test procedure document (C, C++, Python, VB, etc. ).
• Device characterization across temperature, voltage, and process corners, and validate the chip against the specification.
• Responsible for releasing the Final production quality test program to the customer -both wafer final test program.
• Interact with the customer on a daily basis and provide status updates through e-mails and conference calls.
• Responsible from the beginning to the Final test program release to production.

Requirements:

• 1-10 years of experience in the Semiconductor industry with exposure to Post Silicon Validation, Product Engineering, or ATE/Test Engineering activities.
• Hands-on experience with ATE platforms such as Teradyne, Advantest, National Instruments (NI), Cohu, or similar semiconductor test platforms will be considered an added advantage.
• Test Engineer must work with different teams to understand the device datasheet and come up with a detailed Test procedure/plan to test the chip. Need to interact with the PCB design team for developing the necessary hardware - Test load board, bench board, and probe cards.
• Should develop the complete ATE test program to validate the chip.
• Close interactions with the chip design and DFT teams are a must during the device debug phase and bring-up, and all device parameters need to be validated against the specifications. In addition, the test engineer should be involved in developing the test methodologies as required.
