You’ll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge HBM technologies and validation platforms, working alongside global experts. This role offers opportunities to learn advanced validation techniques, drive and deliver product readiness, technology solutions and innovations, and grow into technical leadership roles.

Responsibilities:

Test program development SME:

• Drive and develop and maintain test programs for HBM component validation
• Deliver timely test program releases aligned with validation milestones and drive code quality, reviews, and release best-practices
• Drive test time optimization and parallelism improvements
• Drive test stability and repeatability across sites and equipment
• Drive test program debug on multiple testers
• Coach and develop technical growth of other engineers in validation approaches, platform nuances, simulation methodology, and reporting standards.

Test Infrastructure:

• Drive test equipment qualification and re-qualification
• Drive hardware readiness setup for handler, socket etc.
• Perform validation capacity forecasting based on product ramps and coverage needs
• Owns validation platform health, availability and uptime.
• Support validation platform pathfinding.

Other responsibilities may include (and not limited to):

• Define/implement new standards for continuous improvement in test program development and validation test infrastructure.
• Validating high-speed I/O and assist with eye diagram and signal integrity checks.
• Maintaining documentation in Confluence/Jira and version control in Git/Perforce.
• Drive root cause analysis sessions and corrective action closure.
• Drive/ collaborate across Component Validation team and with cross-functional teams for design validation, execution, electrical failure analysis, lab support and others.

Minimum Qualifications
