TL;DR · ATE Test Development Engineer

JOB TITLE: ATE Test Development Engineer The ATE Test Development Engineer joins the team to facilitate the transition of GPU, Tegra, and Automotive products from design engineering to mass production. This role involves defining, developing, and supporting ATE test programs for bringup, characterization, and production. Key responsibilities include constructing test methods, debugging timings, levels, and patterns, and owning test methodologies to improve quality and efficiency. The engineer will collaborate with overseas manufacturing teams to increase yields and capacity while reducing production costs. Required technical skills include hands-on experience with the Advantest 93K ATE platform (SmarTest 8), understanding of DFT insertion techniques like SCAN, ATPG, MBIST, and IOBIST, and the ability to write scripts. The work focuses on solving production test challenges for complex semiconductor products and assembled boards.

What you'll do

  • Define, develop, and support ATE test programs for GPU, Tegra, and Automotive products.
  • Construct and enhance test methods, including timings, levels, patterns, and test flows.
  • Own test methodologies to improve production test program quality and efficiency.
  • Debug product failures by analyzing LB schematics and collaborating with IC design teams.
  • Work with overseas manufacturing teams to increase yields, test coverage, and capacity.
  • Write and maintain scripts and tools to enhance the test engineering group's productivity.
  • Reduce production costs while ensuring high-quality product transitions from design to mass production.

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.
  • Working knowledge and hands-on experience with Advantest 93K ATE platform (SmarTest 8) is essential.
  • Understanding of DFT insertion techniques including SCAN, ATPG, MBIST, and IOBIST.
  • Excellent debugging and analytical skills.
  • Good communication and collaboration skills.
  • Knowledge of active thermal management (preferred).
  • Product engineering experience, such as yield analysis, vmin/fmax characterization, and defect analysis (preferred).
