Job description

Are you an Electronic or Electrical Engineer who enjoys turning complex technical requirements into reliable, practical test solutions?

My client is a specialist centre of excellence for semiconductor device analysis. I am looking for a Test Development Engineer to design, develop and implement testing for semiconductor devices, including ESD, Latch-up and Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) testing.

Reporting to the Technical Director, you will combine electronic circuit design, automated test development, hands-on laboratory testing and customer-facing technical support.

THE ROLE

You will:

• Interpret semiconductor pin-list data and package drawings to develop appropriate test programs
• Develop automated ESD, Latch-up and TLP test routines
• Design supporting hardware, including test fixture PCBs and specialist power supplies
• Create and implement I-V curve-tracing programs
• Conduct testing safely and in accordance with established procedures
• Analyse results and discuss findings and next steps directly with customers
• Prepare clear technical reports and detailed test data
• Recommend additional testing to investigate unexpected results and support device re-spin activity
• Help develop new testing methods and services
• Contribute to continual improvement within an ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 environment

ABOUT YOU

I am looking for someone with:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a closely related subject
• At least one year of practical electronic circuit design and debugging experience
• Strong fault-finding and logical problem-solving skills
• An understanding of electronic measurement principles and their practical limitations
• Experience using equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies and automated test systems
• Commercial experience gained within engineering, electronics, production, testing or a laboratory environment
• Strong numeracy, accuracy and attention to detail
• The confidence to communicate technical information directly to customers
• Good IT and written reporting skills
• A practical, resourceful and proactive approach
• Experience of PCB layout software, semiconductor testing, ESD, Latch-up, TLP or an ISO-accredited testing environment would be particularly valuable, although specialist training can be provided to an engineer with the right underlying ability.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist technical business where your work will help customers characterise, qualify and improve semiconductor devices.
