Job summary

Blue Origin seeks a Principal ASIC Test Engineer to lead production test strategy for RF, mmWave, and mixed-signal ICs within Silicon Systems. This individual contributor role serves as the technical lead for final test of mmWave front-end ICs and converter-intensive ASICs, focusing on RF/mmWave performance, high-speed ADC/DAC testing, manufacturability, and cost of test.

The role interfaces with manufacturing and OSAT partners, mentors internal test engineers, and requires relocation with up to

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 10 years of semiconductor test experience.
• Experience developing wafer sort and final test programs on production ATE platforms, including Advantest V93000.
• Demonstrated experience with RF or mmWave testing and high-speed ADC and DAC testing.
• Experience taking test programs from silicon bring-up through manufacturing release with external partners.
• Experience resolving yield and test correlation issues with foundry and OSAT manufacturing partners.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Responsibilities

• Define wafer sort and final test strategies, coverage targets, and production release criteria for RF and mixed-signal devices.
• Develop and optimize ATE tests for RF signal chains, frequency conversion, PLLs, clocking, and high-speed ADCs and DACs.
• Establish test approaches for packaged RF devices, including antenna-in-package calibration, fixture design, and correlation to laboratory measurements.
• Partner with design and DFT teams to improve test access, observability, and production test efficiency during development.
• Lead technical work with foundry, manufacturing, and OSAT partners on probe and final test implementation, throughput, and failure analysis.
• Mentor test engineers and provide test domain guidance across front-end IC and digital beamformer programs.
