Job description

Our client develops and manufactures high performance mixed-signal ICs for global leading data and video communication companies to enable their next-generation products.

They are looking for someone who thrives on working at the cutting edge of technology, specifically to architect and develop test hardware solutions for testing these products, covering a full range of performance and quality requirements on engineering and production test systems.

They are looking for someone who has a proven track record of leading HW development and delivering excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Work with cross-functional product teams to assess and evaluate new designs, support our testability/DFT process, and generate test plans.
2. Participate in new product design meetings with product engineers and design teams to ensure a high level of production test coverage is achieved for our latest products.
3. Write and port ATE SW code into library and modular format to support quality, efficiency and time to market.
4. Prepare pre-silicon template test programs according to the test plan and support our team during early product bring up and test program development.
5. Produce concise, accurate and timely reports for technical project gates and provide updates (written and oral), containing clearly presented results to the project team.

What we need from you:

1. Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar discipline.
2. At least 10 years experience in ATE semiconductor testing, and having a proven track record of developing robust, high quality and efficient test solutions; V93000 experience is a must.
3. Proficient in C/C++, and experience of Java would also be an advantage.
4. High level of semiconductor device DFT knowledge including digital, analogue and mixed-signal techniques, as well as a clear understanding of translation of DFT to test coverage on the ATE. Experience of FMEA documents and review flows for testability would be advantageous.
5. Ability to develop and maintain strong collaborative relationships across all functions within a project team (design, product, characterization, validation, applications, marketing etc.).
6. Work to aggressive project timelines.
7. Skilled at multitasking with multiple projects in different lifecycle phases.
