TL;DR · Senior Modem ATE Test Engineer

As a Senior Modem ATE Test Engineer, you will join the Amazon Leo team to develop high-volume production test methodologies for complex SoCs and modem devices powering a low-earth orbit satellite constellation. You will own end-to-end digital ATE test development on Advantest 93K and Teradyne UltraFLEX platforms, encompassing bring-up, pattern conversion, characterization, and production release. Your daily responsibilities include building and debugging scan/ATPG content, implementing MBIST and memory repair flows, and optimizing high-speed SERDES/HSIO tests including equalization and jitter characterization. You will also design and review final test and wafer sort hardware while analyzing production data using statistical methods like Cp/Cpk. The role requires expertise in JTAG, DFT principles, and scripting languages such as Python, Perl, and Tcl/Tk to ensure products are architected for cost-effective manufacturing in advanced process nodes.

What you'll do

  • Develop and debug digital test programs for complex ASIC/SoC and modem devices on Advantest or Teradyne platforms.
  • Build and debug scan/ATPG test content including stuck-at and transition fault models.
  • Implement MBIST and memory repair flows for high-volume production.
  • Optimize high-speed SERDES/HSIO tests, including equalization tuning and jitter characterization.
  • Convert DFT team patterns into tester-suitable formats and validate them on hardware.
  • Conduct silicon characterization to establish robust production limits and guard bands.
  • Design and review final test and wafer sort hardware for signal and power integrity.
  • Analyze production data using statistical methods to improve yield, quality, 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.
  • 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, boundary-scan techniques, and DFT/DFM principles.
  • Proficiency in high-speed SERDES test at 100G+ including equalization tuning and jitter decomposition.
  • Experience with wafer sort and final test ATE hardware development, bring-up, and debugging.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
