• Defines test program flows and methods for solid test coverage.
• Drive final test yield analysis and corrective actions
• First silicon debug with Design and OSAT Test Engineering.
• Finalize wafer-sort and final test programs in support of production
• Drive product to meet yield and test time/cost goals.
• Analyze yield at Engineering Sample phase and Characterize NPI product performances and manufacturing yield window including bench correlation to meet product requirements.
• Identify and implement root cause solutions to yield loss mechanisms through statistical data analysis and failure analysis techniques.
• Transfer product knowledge to OSAT sustaining engineer
• Manage Test Contractor (OSAT) in early production stage

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent
• Knowledge of the semiconductor industry, processes, technologies and key suppliers
• 10+ years or more experience in semiconductor digital design, test and/or product engineering for complex SoC’s
