We are seeking a hands‑on Hardware Engineer to develop, test, debug, and support semiconductor test and measurement systems. This role involves board bring‑up, troubleshooting, validation, repair, and hardware design for precision analog and mixed‑signal instrumentation.The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex hardware problems, working in a laboratory environment, and collaborating with FPGA, software, manufacturing, and applications teams to develop and improve semiconductor test equipment.
Responsibilities
- Perform board bring‑up, testing, debugging, validation, and repair of prototype and production hardware
- Investigate hardware failures, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement corrective actions
- Design precision analog and mixed‑signal circuits for semiconductor test and measurement systems
- Develop and support SMU, PMU, CMU, Pulse-IV, and high‑voltage measurement circuitry.
- Design low‑noise and low‑leakage measurement front ends, ADC/DAC circuits, AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies, and instrument power delivery systems
- Support system integration, calibration, reliability testing, and performance characterization
- Create and maintain schematics, design documentation, test procedures, and validation reports
- Collaborate with FPGA, software, manufacturing, and applications teams to resolve hardware and system‑level issues
- Support engineering builds, manufacturing test, and field issue investigations.
- Contribute to product improvements focused on performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost
- Travel up to 25%
