TL;DR · Careers

The Test Engineering Specialist at Qualcomm Technologies works within the Product Development and Test Engineering team to develop comprehensive test solutions for advanced semiconductor technologies including RF transceivers, power management ICs, and mixed-signal ASICs. This role involves designing hardware interfaces, developing software tests, integrating hardware and software systems, conducting characterization experiments, debugging first silicon issues, and analyzing data to improve yield and reduce test times. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in electrical engineering with expertise in semiconductor manufacturing processes, statistical analysis tools, and hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and battery emulators. Proficiency in programming languages like VB, Python, and Perl for test code development is essential, along with knowledge of LabVIEW or Teradyne IFlex/UFlex systems being a significant advantage.

What you'll do

  • Design and debug test interface hardware for semiconductor devices.
  • Develop and integrate test software to verify product functionality.
  • Define characterization plans and conduct first silicon debugging.
  • Drive failure analysis to completion and control yield variance.
  • Generate test limits and optimize test times for multiple projects.
  • Perform data analysis using statistical methods and quality testing.
  • Document and present product information effectively to stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience in designing and debugging test interface hardware (load boards) and software.
  • Proficient in developing characterization plans, conducting first silicon debug, and defining process experiments.
  • Strong background in semiconductor manufacturing processes and wafer fabrication fundamentals.
  • Expertise in statistical analysis, quality control, reliability testing, and data analysis techniques.
  • Solid understanding of digital, analog, mixed-signal, power management, and RF circuit analysis.
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, source meters, battery emulators, spectrum analyzers.
  • Strong software skills for writing and debugging test codes in languages like VB, Python, Perl.
