Senior SoC ATE Test Engineer - Failures & Automation

ETHOS SEARCH ASSOCIATES PTE. LTD.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

ETHOS SEARCH ASSOCIATES PTE. LTD. in Singapore seeks an electrical/electronics engineer with 3+ years in ATE debugging for complex digital semiconductors. You will work on x86/SoC test flows and verification with Verigy 93K.

The role involves developing experiments, debugging tests, and collaborating with cross‑functional teams to drive containment and root-cause resolution. Proficiency in Python or C/C++ is expected.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical, Electronics or Computer Engineering or equivalent (3+ years experience).
• Experience in ATE debug for x86, CPU, SoC or other complex digital semiconductor products.
• Strong understanding of Verigy 93K test-program architecture, development and execution.
• Experience debugging test programs, test methods, patterns, vectors, functional failures, parametric failures and limit-related issues.
• Experience interpreting tester datalogs, design and run DOE for failure-signature analysis.
• Working knowledge of DFT concepts including ATPG scan, scan compression, logic diagnosis, memory BIST and JTAG/boundary scan.
• Debug of high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, USB, SATA or Ethernet using ATE-based methods.
• Strong knowledge of digital logic, circuit analysis, CMOS fundamentals and electrical failure mechanisms.
• Proficiency in at least one language: Python, C/C++, Tcl, Perl, Verilog, VHDL or Unix shell.
• Working knowledge of Linux and structured engineering data analysis.
• Experience integrating AI agents into daily workflows is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Lead or contribute to component debug for customer-return and manufacturing-test failures.
• 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.
