TL;DR · Characterization Product Development Engineer

As a Characterization Product Development Engineer within the Operations Product Development Engineering GPU Team, you will drive the latest architecture designs to market for consumer, professional, and datacenter markets. Your daily responsibilities include implementing chip probing test processes to improve manufacturing efficiency for GPUs built in leading-edge process technology. You will identify and resolve yield bottlenecks, analyze test failures at the wafer and package levels on Automatic Test Equipment, and propose designs of experiments for complex characterization problems. The role requires expertise in digital design, circuit analysis, characterization, qualification, and device physics. You will utilize JMP software for statistical data analysis and may use Python or Perl for scripting. Key technical competencies include knowledge of DFT, ATE test flows, and experience with Advantest 93K testers.

What you'll do

  • Drive the latest architecture designs to market for consumer, professional, and datacenter GPUs.
  • Implement chip probing test processes to improve manufacturing efficiency for leading-edge process technology.
  • Identify and resolve yield bottlenecks and analyze test failures at the wafer and package levels.
  • Propose DOEs and develop solutions to complex characterization problems.
  • Lead cross-functional efforts to root-cause and solve technical problems with design, foundry, and quality teams.
  • Influence future ASIC designs to improve test coverage, product yield, and silicon bring-up.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 2+ years of product development engineering or relevant experience.
  • Experience with digital design, circuit analysis, characterization, and qualification.
  • Knowledge of ATE test flows, DFT, and device physics.
  • Proficiency in statistical data analysis using JMP software or other tools.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and ability to drive problems to closure independently.
  • Hands-on experience with Advantest 93K tester with SMT7 or SMT8 OS (preferred).
  • Familiarity with scripting/programming knowledge in Python or Perl (preferred).
