TL;DR · Senior Modem ATE Test Engineer

The Senior Modem ATE Test Engineer joins the Amazon Leo team to develop high-volume production test methodologies for custom silicon powering a low-earth orbit satellite constellation. This role involves leading the end-to-end digital ATE test development for complex SoCs and modem devices on Advantest 93K and Teradyne UltraFLEX platforms. Key responsibilities include developing and debugging scan/ATPG, MBIST, and memory repair content, as well as high-speed SERDES/HSIO testing for 100G+ interfaces. The engineer will perform silicon characterization, convert test patterns from STIL/WGL formats, and design hardware like load boards and probe cards. Required skills include proficiency in JTAG, DFT/DFM principles, and statistical data analysis using tools like JMP. The work addresses technical challenges in advanced process nodes to ensure cost-effective manufacturing of satellite communication hardware.

What you'll do

  • Develop, debug, and release digital test programs for complex ASIC/SoC and modem devices on Advantest 93K and Teradyne UltraFLEX platforms.
  • Build and debug scan/ATPG test content, including stuck-at, transition, and other fault models.
  • Implement MBIST and memory repair flows for modem and ASIC devices.
  • Optimize high-speed SERDES/HSIO tests, including equalization, jitter/eye characterization, and BER.
  • Convert test patterns from DFT teams into tester-suitable formats and validate them on hardware.
  • Characterize silicon performance and process variation through ring oscillator and process monitor tests.
  • Design and review final test and wafer sort hardware, including load boards, sockets, and probe cards.
  • Analyze production data using statistical methods to drive continuous improvement in yield and test efficiency.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or above in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent.
  • 7+ years of experience in digital ATE test development and test engineering, preferably in high-volume manufacturing.
  • Experience testing complex SoCs and modem/wireless communication devices in advanced nodes (7nm and below).
  • Experience developing and debugging test programs on Advantest 93K and/or Teradyne UltraFLEX platforms.
  • Familiarity with JTAG and boundary-scan techniques, and with DFT/DFM principles.
  • Experience with digital test methodologies such as scan/ATPG, MBIST, Vmin search, and loopback.
  • Proficiency in advanced high-speed SERDES test at 100G+, including equalization tuning and jitter decomposition.
  • Export Control Requirement.
