TL;DR · Senior PDE, Test and Product Engineering, Client APU

As a Senior PDE, Test and Product Engineering, Client APU, you will join the team to manage product bring-up, characterization, product definition, and production test solution development for leading-edge semiconductor products. You will work across the product lifecycle from pre-silicon planning through high-volume manufacturing, collaborating with Design, DFT, Platform Validation, Manufacturing, and Quality teams. Your daily responsibilities include identifying test coverage gaps, developing hardware and software solutions, performing silicon debug, and optimizing yield and test costs. The role requires expertise in PCIe and DDR signal integrity analysis, DFT methodologies like BIST and boundary scan, and experience with probe cards and wafer sort. You will utilize Python, Bash, Git, VS Code, data analytics, and AI/ML techniques to solve complex silicon and manufacturing challenges while ensuring high-quality test solutions for advanced processor architectures.

What you'll do

  • Develop and deploy production test solutions including hardware, software, and test content to meet quality and cost targets.
  • Drive silicon bring-up, characterization, product definition, and performance optimization from first silicon through mass production.
  • Investigate and resolve silicon, test, yield, and manufacturing issues through structured root cause analysis.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure product testability, quality, and production readiness.
  • Analyze characterization, yield, and manufacturing data to drive engineering decisions and continuous improvement.
  • Validate ATE hardware and software while improving overall yield and test efficiency.
  • Mentor junior engineers on product development best practices and technical standards.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Experience supporting high-volume semiconductor products from development through production.
  • Hands-on experience with silicon debug and characterization, including PCIe and DDR signal integrity analysis.
  • Knowledge of DFT methodologies such as BIST, loopback, boundary scan, and pattern generation flows.
  • Experience analyzing characterization, yield, test, and manufacturing data to drive product improvements.
  • Exposure to probe card, wafer sort, and final test hardware development and manufacturing operations.
  • Proficiency with Python, Bash, Git, VS Code, data analytics, AI/ML techniques, and computer architecture concepts.
