Résumé du poste

Metheion Technology & Engineering Consulting is seeking an IC test engineer to bring semiconductor products from validation to production. You will set up and debug test benches, automate measurements, and produce actionable engineering insights in a hands-on lab environment.

You will collaborate with design, validation, and external test houses, supporting the transition from lab validation toward production-oriented testing.

Qualifications

• Experience in IC testing, semiconductor validation, or electronic system testing.
• Hands-on experience with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and laboratory measurement equipment.
• Solid experience with Python, MATLAB, or a similar test automation environment.

Responsabilités

• Set up and debug IC test benches, including instruments, power supplies, evaluation boards, fixtures, cabling, automation scripts, and data-acquisition systems.
• Execute functional and parametric tests according to validation plans and product requirements.
• Analyze measurement data, identify anomalies and root causes, and correlate test results with design expectations.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts and measurement workflows using Python, MATLAB, or similar environments.
• Prepare clear and concise test reports, including plots, observations, pass/fail criteria, conclusions, and recommended next steps.
• Work closely with IC design, validation, application, and system engineering teams.
• Coordinate with external test houses and test-service providers on test requirements, implementation, logistics, data exchange, issue tracking, and schedules.
• Support the transition from laboratory validation toward production-oriented testing and ATE environments.

Description du poste

You will play a key role in bringing semiconductor products from validation to production. You will combine practical laboratory execution with structured measurement analysis, turning test requirements into reliable measurements and actionable engineering insights.

Working hands-on in the lab, you will set up, debug, automate, and execute IC tests across various test benches and measurement setups. You will collaborate closely with internal IC design, validation, application, and system engineering teams, as well as external testing providers, to support the transition from laboratory validation toward production-oriented testing.

This position is offered through an engineering consulting company. You will be employed by the consulting company and assigned to the client’s project.

Assignment: 6 month with a possibility of prolongation

Contract: Permanent (payroll) or B2B (freelance) contract based on your preference

Visa: EU work authorization is preffered; visa support is available only for candidates already residing within the European Economic Area
