TL;DR · ATE Test Development Engineer

As an ATE Test Development Engineer, you will join the team to transition GPU, Tegra, and Automotive products from design engineering into mass production. Your daily responsibilities involve defining, developing, and supporting ATE test program bringup, characterization, and production for these specific product lines. You will construct or enhance test methods, debug and integrate timings, levels, patterns, and test flows while collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve product failures. The role requires hands-on experience with the Advantest 93K ATE platform (SmarTest 8) and a solid understanding of DFT insertion techniques including SCAN, ATPG, MBIST, and IOBIST. You will also write scripts to improve team productivity while working with overseas manufacturing teams to increase yields and capacity. Technical skills include analyzing LB schematics and performing yield analysis or vmin/fmax characterization for high-quality hardware products.

What you'll do

  • Develop and support ATE test programs for GPU, Tegra, and Automotive products from design to mass production.
  • Construct and enhance test methods including timings, levels, patterns, and test flow integration.
  • Improve production test program quality and efficiency through continuous methodology improvements.
  • Analyze LB schematics and designs to facilitate effective product debugging.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to debug product failures and implement optimal solutions.
  • Write and maintain scripts and tools to improve the test engineering group's productivity.
  • Work with overseas manufacturing teams to increase yields, test coverage, and capacity while reducing costs.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor Degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 2+ years of relevant experience in IC Design, application, or ATE testing of VLSI.
  • Hands-on experience with the Advantest 93K ATE platform (SmarTest 8) is essential.
  • Understanding of DFT insertion techniques including SCAN, ATPG, MBIST, and IOBIST.
  • Ability to read and understand LB schematics and design to aid in debugging.
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to debug product failures with cross-functional teams.
  • Proficiency in writing and maintaining scripts and tools for test engineering productivity.
  • Experience with Teradyn UFlex or active thermal management is preferred.
