Senior Product Quality Engineer(ATE)

Thundersoft; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Thundersoft in Singapore is seeking an experienced Senior Engineer to lead and contribute to debugging and optimizing automated test equipment (ATE) for customer returns and manufacturing-test failures. You will leverage production ATE and electrical characterization methods to isolate issues and improve yield.

You will develop automation and data-analysis tools in Python, C/C++, Tcl, Perl, or Unix shell, review datalogs and failure signatures, and mentor engineers on ATE debugging and failure

Qualifications

• Senior Engineer: BS with 5+ years, MS with 3+ years, or PhD with 0–1+ years of relevant experience.
• MTS: BS with 8+ years, MS with 6+ years, or PhD with 3+ years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead or contribute to component debug for customer-return and manufacturing-test failures using production ATE and electrical characterization methods.
• Debug and optimize ATE test programs, test methods, test limits, levels, timings and production test flows.
• Analyze ATE datalogs, failure signatures, shmoo results and characterization data to isolate silicon, design, test, process or application-related causes.
• Develop and execute electrical experiments and characterization plans to validate hypotheses.
• Drive root-cause investigations, containment, corrective actions and recurrence prevention.
• Develop automation, data-analysis and diagnostic tools using Python, C/C++, Tcl, Perl or Unix shell scripting.
• Prepare clear technical reports and communicate conclusions, risk and recommended actions to engineering and management stakeholders.
• Lead cross-functional technical projects appropriate to the assigned job level and mentor engineers in ATE debug and failure-analysis methods.
