When it is, the ability to compute, and to manufacture the hardware that computes, should not be concentrated in a few places. Touchdown's mission is to make compute accessible to the whole world and to reindustrialize advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. We co-design everything for next-generation compute: the AI systems people use, the software that serves them, the architectures and chips underneath, and the packaging, test, and manufacturing that make them real. Co-design brings down the complexity and cost of building compute. That is what makes manufacturing in America competitive again, and what puts compute within reach of people and companies everywhere. We build alongside the world's best manufacturing ecosystems, including Taiwan's, and every role here makes one layer better and carries what it learns to the rest.### Why this role mattersTest is how we know co-designed hardware does what the design promised. Good test coverage turns every product into data that improves the next design.### Technical scopeTest strategy across wafer sort, final test, burn-in, and system-level test; ATE program development; test coverage and fault models; fixtures, load boards, sockets, and probe interfaces; limit setting from data; correlation between sites; qualification plans and customer acceptance reports.### First 90 days* Take ownership of test plans on active programs.* Bring up and correlate tests with partners.* Deliver acceptance reports customers can reuse.### What you will own* Test strategy and program development across ATE, system-level test, and bench.* Fixtures, load boards, and sockets.* Qualification plans and reports.### What you bring* 7+ years in product, ATE, or system-level test.* Advantest, Teradyne, or comparable platforms.* Data-driven limit setting.* Has written production test programs and released them to manufacturing.* Has led a product through qualification with customer sign-off.### Helpful experience* Burn-in* Python test automation* Mandarin### How we work* AI-native by default. You use coding agents, AI-assisted analysis, and automation every day, and you check their output against measurements before anyone relies on it.* We work alongside foundries, test houses, OSATs, and research labs, and we build with partners rather than against them.* Touchdown does not operate a production fab today.* Do not bring, send, or use confidential information or trade secrets from a current or former employer. We hire for skill and judgment, not for anyone else's process recipes.### How the role works* Full-time.* Location: Hsinchu, Taiwan · Santa Clara, CA.* Openings: Multiple.* Taiwan roles are employed through a local employer of record.
