Responsibilities

• Design, develop, release to production, and support ATE test solutions for complex ICs.
• Follow test application development procedures and demonstrate compliance through technical documentation generation.
• Troubleshoot software and hardware using root cause analysis and provide test-related solutions to improve yield and reduce test time.
• Debug and characterize silicon on ATE and correlate results with bench data.
• Work in a team environment, support multiple initiatives, and independently determine and develop approaches to assignments.
• Collaborate with design, product engineering, and manufacturing to understand the root cause of yield issues and test-related production operation issues.
• Support business goals for quality, cost, and delivery and collaborate with functional support groups.
• Support manufacturing operations for test solution issues.
• Manage projects, involving delegation and review of work, at times acting as a team leader.
• Provide guidance, coaching, and training for a growing test engineering department.

Job description

Our ADI Empower Semiconductor has an opportunity for an experienced ATE test engineer. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a cutting-edge semiconductor team creating a new paradigm in power delivery for GPUs / XPUs in AI data centers. Traditional power solutions require many discrete components with large footprints and complex designs. Empower Semiconductor's patented IVR technology integrates dozens of components into a single IC, shrinking footprints by 10x and delivering power with unprecedented simplicity, speed, and accuracy.

In this highly visible role, you will support test development activities from silicon bring-up and characterization through production release and high-volume manufacturing, helping shape the future of power delivery for next-generation AI infrastructure.

In this job you will:

• Design, develop, release to production, and support ATE test solutions for complex ICs.
• Follow test application development procedures and demonstrate compliance through technical documentation generation.
• Troubleshoot software and hardware using root cause analysis and provide technical solutions for test-related problems, provide yield improvement solutions, provide test-time reduction solutions, resolve bench-tester correlation issues, and improve test accuracy through refined test methodologies.
• Debug and characterize silicon on ATE and correlate results with bench data.
• Work in a team environment, support multiple initiatives, and independently determine and develop approaches to assignments.
• Collaborate with design, product engineering, and manufacturing to understand the root cause of yield issues and test-related production operation issues.
• Support business goals for quality, cost, and delivery and collaborate with functional support groups.
• Support manufacturing operations for test solution issues.
• Manage projects, involving delegation and review of work, at times acting as a team leader.
• Provide guidance, coaching, and training for a growing test engineering department.

What you will bring to the table:

• BS / MS in the field of Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience with test development for semiconductors.
• Experience with ATE platforms such as Advantest V93K, Teradyne UltraFLEX, J750, or similar automated test equipment.
• Experience with Advantest V93K is preferred. Candidates with strong semiconductor ATE development experience on other platforms will have the opportunity to learn and develop expertise on the V93K platform.
• Experience with silicon bring-up, characterization, yield improvement, production test development, and manufacturing support.
• Experience in the power IC field is a plus but not a requirement.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment and best practices for IC bring-up, test, and characterization.
• Strong problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration skills.
