• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in semiconductor test, ATE, test applications, test engineering or quality engineering.
• Strong hands on experience with semiconductor ATE systems.
• Good understanding of ATE test architecture, test methodology, instrumentation, fixtures, handlers, DUT interfaces and test application behavior.
• Experience in ATE or test application quality assurance, including identifying test related risks, failure mechanisms and potential quality escapes.
• Proven experience in yield improvement, failure analysis and root cause investigation using test data.
• Strong practical experience with 8D, CAPA, FMEA and structured problem solving.
• Working knowledge of DOE, MSA, SPC and statistical analysis. Experience with Minitab is an advantage.
• Comfortable working in a fast paced, dynamic environment with multiple priorities and customer driven timelines.
• Candidates with experience in customer quality, semiconductor production test, NPI or high volume manufacturing are strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the ATE Quality Subject Matter Expert within the QA organization.
• Assess the quality, robustness and effectiveness of ATE test applications and review ATE-related issues from a quality and risk perspective.
• Establish quality expectations, standards and best practices for ATE applications.
• Provide technical quality leadership during NPI, qualification and production.
• Lead systematic investigation of ATE and test-related yield losses and work with other functions to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• Drive structured problem solving using 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, DOE and statistical analysis.
• Drive improvement of test coverage based on customer requirements, product risks and field/production lessons learned.
• Provide technical leadership for customer issues involving ATE and test applications.
• Lead ATE-related FMEA and PFMEA to ensure lessons learned from yield issues, customer complaints and failures are incorporated into FMEA.
• Lead test correlation and characterization activities, identify measurement and test-system variation that could impact product quality or yield.
