Job description

Key responsibilities

Lead end-to-end semiconductor test development for FPGA and programmable logic devices using the Advantest V93K platform and SmarTest 7. You will shape scalable test architectures, drive silicon bring-up, and deliver robust test programs from initial development through NPI release and hardware validation.

Develop V93K test programs from scratch using SmarTest 7, including test flow, timing, levels, and pattern integration.

Define and implement scalable test architectures, reusable frameworks, and test methodologies for FPGA devices.

Integrate test content across digital, CRAM and embedded memory, device configuration, and functional validation domains.

Collaborate with content teams to ensure seamless integration and comprehensive test coverage.

Perform silicon bring-up and integrate scan, MBIST, JTAG, IDDQ, and related test features.

Optimise test flows for scalability, maintainability, and test time efficiency.

Support NPI activities, including test program release and hardware validation for load boards and probe cards.

Maintain high standards for code quality, documentation, and version control.

Provide technical leadership and drive best practices in test development and methodology.

What we’re looking for

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related field.

At least 10 years of experience in semiconductor test development.

Proven experience developing test programs from scratch on the Advantest V93K using SmarTest 7.

Strong test method development and programming skills within the V93K environment.

Ability to work independently and drive development through to completion with minimal guidance.

Experience testing FPGA or programmable logic devices.

Familiarity with CRAM or embedded memory test methodologies.

Knowledge of high-speed interfaces such as DDR and SerDes.

Experience with Python or Perl scripting for automation.

Experience building reusable test frameworks or libraries.
