Jobbeschreibung

My client is a large semiconductor in Singapore.

Key responsibilities in your new role

• Definition of the characterization parameters , setup the test program and access together with design engineers the measurement result .
• Search and analysis in our lab on evaluation board or ATE the root cause of a device failing in qualification or at customer or causing yield loss .
• Drive all measures to pass the qualification and in case required fast learning and improvements .
• Understand the yield loss and find ways to optimize it in production .
• Find the right balance of test coverage versus test costs and complexity .
• Support the definition and improvement of the stress concept by implementing and validating it.
• Define and ensure ways to correlate the device performance at the tester with the finally seen performance in the application at customer .
• Be part of the cross domain development team to improve further our product functionality and quality by acceptable costs and keeping the schedule. One example is here to find the sweet spot between performance and power .
• Drive cycle-time reduction across product and test engineering , and system-level debug for customers by leveraging autonomous AI agents .
• Drive pre-silicon predictive analytics to identify potential yield , performance , and reliability issues before tape-out .
