Job description

(It's a good opportunity to broad your career as a Production Development Engineer in Singapore!🚀)

• Looking for someone with understanding of product development ecosystem.
• Having a strong background in Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) testing and characterization, with hands-on expertise in Teradyne/Advantest ATE platforms.
• Strong technical, analytical, leadership and problem-solving skills.
• You will focus on developing and executing test solutions for IVRs used in advanced SoC and power management applications.
• You will work closely with design, product, and validation teams to ensure robust test coverage, yield optimization, and reliable product performance.
• Lead engineering efforts in silicon characterization and analysis to define products that meet customer requirements, yield, and cost targets.
• Provide technical leadership across PEO teams, aligning design feedback, customer requirements, and product goals.
• Represent PEO in design discussions, influencing decisions that significantly impact final product outcomes.
• Conduct gate reviews for test, cost, and quality at key development milestones.
• Drive timely resolution of customer-reported issues with quality and support teams.
• Develop ATE test programs and hardware (e.g., load boards, probe cards) for validation, characterization, and production testing of IVRs.
• Utilize platforms such as Teradyne (UltraFlex, J750) and Advantest (V93000, T2000) to implement and debug analog/mixed-signal test routines.
• Support test development from pre-silicon through high-volume manufacturing, including PVT characterization and detailed reporting.
• Perform power-related testing (e.g., PSRR, efficiency, transient response) and stability analysis.
• Collaborate with design and systems teams to define test specifications and translate design intent into executable test plans.
• Automate data collection and analysis using tools like Python, MATLAB, or JMP.
• Lead root-cause analysis of silicon issues using both ATE and bench-level tools.
• Drive initiatives for test time reduction, yield enhancement, and cost optimization.
• 7+ years of experience in semiconductor industry, with a strong foundation in analog/mixed-signal IC testing and ATE development.
• Skilled in data extraction, manipulation, and visualization using statistical tools such as correlation analysis, predictive modeling, contrast analysis, and machine learning.
• Proficient in wafer, final test (FT), and system-level test (SLT) methodologies and equipment.
• Solid understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE), failure analysis, and RMA processes.
• Background in solid-state physics, computer architecture, and both digital and analog design.
• Experienced in Python for data analysis, SQL for database queries, and scripting in C, C++, Java, Ruby, and Perl.
• Strong command of Excel, JMP, Yield Explorer, SAS, Power BI, and other EDA tools.
• Comfortable working across Windows and Unix/Linux environments.
• Manage multiple projects under tight deadlines with strong communication and organizational skills.
• Hands-on experience with on-die and integrated voltage regulators in a dvanced CMOS nodes.
• Familiar with high-volume manufacturing, test correlation between ATE and bench, and reliability qualification (ESD/Latch-up, HTOL).
• Knowledgeable in test hardware design and debugging (probe cards, load boards), and test cost optimization techniques.
• Proficient in developing/debugging test programs on Teradyne and Advantest ATE platforms.
• Strong grasp of power management circuits including buck/boost converters, LDOs, and SVI3/I2C/I3C protocols.
• Experienced with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, SMUs, electronic loads, and network analyzers.
• Skilled in silicon bring-up, PVT characterization, and yield analysis with robust troubleshooting capabilities
