Senior IC Test Development Engineer — ATE & Mixed-Signal

NXP Semiconductors; United States; On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

NXP Semiconductors is seeking a Test Engineer to develop comprehensive test plans for high‑performance mixed-signal ICs on ATE platforms. You will design interface boards, optimize layouts for symmetry and impedance, and collaborate with analog/digital teams to ensure manufacturability and quality across product lifecycles.

The role requires 5+ years in test development on ATE, with strong data analysis, DOE, and failure analysis skills.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of test development experience on ATE with high performance integrated circuits.
• Innovation in test techniques.
• Familiarity with Advantest 93K and/or Teradyne UltraFllex.
• Thorough understanding of digital, analog, and mixed-signal testing, PVT characterization, IC qualification, product launch, and customer RMA support.
• Experience with statistical data processing, DOE, test debugging and yield improvement.
• Working knowledge of IC foundries and offshore assembly & test subcons (OSATs).
• Familiarity with IC fabrication processes and its effect on test performance.
• Reliability, failure analysis, and circuit debugging skills.
• Ability to collaborate with a diverse, global product development team.

Responsibilities

• Develop complete industrial test plans for high performance ICs on ATE.
• Design ATE interface boards focusing on layout matching, symmetry, impedance, and bandwidth.
• Define characterization/validation setups with cross-functional teams for manufacturability.
• Define and implement DfT features from concept to production.
• Support test limits, data evaluation, and mass production efforts.
