The Senior PDE, Test and Product Engineering, Client APU joins the team to manage product bring-up, characterization, product definition, and production test solution development for leading-edge semiconductor products. This role involves developing and validating test hardware and software, driving silicon debug, and optimizing yield and test cost from pre-silicon planning through high-volume manufacturing. The engineer will perform root cause analysis on manufacturing issues and partner with Design, DFT, Platform Validation, and Quality teams. Required technical skills include experience with PCIe and DDR signal integrity analysis, DFT methodologies like BIST and loopback, and proficiency in Python, Bash, Git, VS Code, and data analytics. The work focuses on solving complex silicon and manufacturing challenges to ensure product performance, quality, and production readiness for high-volume semiconductor products.

What you'll do

  • Develop and deploy production test solutions including hardware, software, and test content.
  • Drive silicon bring-up, characterization, product definition, and performance optimization.
  • Investigate and resolve silicon, test, yield, and manufacturing issues through root cause analysis.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure product testability, quality, and production readiness.
  • Analyze characterization, yield, and manufacturing data to support engineering decisions.
  • Validate ATE hardware and software to improve yield and test efficiency.
  • Mentor junior engineers on product development best practices.

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 (preferred).
  • Hands-on silicon debug and characterization, including PCIe and DDR signal integrity analysis (preferred).
  • Knowledge of DFT methodologies, including BIST, loopback, boundary scan, and pattern generation flows (preferred).
  • Experience analyzing characterization, yield, test, and manufacturing data to drive product improvements (preferred).
  • Exposure to probe card, wafer sort, and final test hardware development and manufacturing operations (preferred).
  • Proficiency with Python, Bash, Git, VS Code, data analytics, AI/ML techniques, and computer architecture concepts (preferred).
