Lead Test Architect, Analog & Mixed-Signal

Renesas Electronics Corporation; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Renesas Electronics Corporation seeks a Principal Test Architect for the Analog and Mixed-Signal division. This role leads test methodology, design-for-test strategy, and test infrastructure across product portfolios, partnering with design, product, and test teams to drive test innovation from NPI through high-volume manufacturing.

You will define architecture and requirements, optimize hardware/software for mixed-signal testing, and mentor teams while shaping tester roadmaps and process

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline with 10+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering or a closely related field.
• Extensive Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) development experience and proven track record developing production test solutions on platforms such as Advantest 93K, ETS, Teradyne FLEX, Diamondx, LTX, SPEA, or similar systems.
• Experience designing test hardware and software for mixed-signal test solutions, including both test hardware and software for wafer sort and final test.
• Experience with all aspects of new product introduction, from customer samples and qualification to characterization and production test systems.
• Experience testing analog, mixed-signal, data converter, power management, and related semiconductor devices. Familiarity with digital interfaces, memory technologies.
• Experience with analog or mixed-signal IC design and related development tools a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive test architecture, methodology, and innovation for analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products.
• Partner with IC design, product engineering, and test engineering teams to establish design-for-test (DFT) requirements and optimize product testability.
• Architect and optimize mixed-signal test hardware and software solutions to improve test quality, throughput, cost, and manufacturability.
• Evaluate and influence tester roadmap, test methodologies, and process improvements across the organization.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship on test strategies, best practices, and problem-solving for complex semiconductor products.
