TL;DR · Senior Test Engineer | Microsoft Careers

The Senior Test Engineer position within the Silicon Manufacturing and Product Engineering team at Microsoft focuses on defining and delivering operational measures for hardware manufacturing, with a primary emphasis on scan (structural) test. This role involves contributing to silicon bring-up, validation, and manufacturing readiness while collaborating closely with cross-functional partners across fabrication, manufacturing test, and packaging phases. Key responsibilities include developing ATE test programs, integrating scan patterns, debugging issues, and analyzing yield data using advanced tools like Advantest 93K platforms. The ideal candidate should have extensive experience in integrated circuit development, particularly in high-performance computing, AI, GPUs, and telecom domains, along with a strong background in DFT methodologies, probability, statistics, and Linux-based environments.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute test plans for new product manufacturing, focusing on scan (structural) test.
  • Integrate and debug ATE test programs, including pattern validation and silicon characterization.
  • Collaborate with design teams to ensure scan test readiness and coverage closure.
  • Utilize DFT features like scan architecture and ATPG for fault model implementation.
  • Perform failure analysis using diagnosis tools to support yield improvement activities.
  • Support semiconductor IC development through fabrication, manufacturing test, and packaging phases.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate or Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with relevant years of experience.
  • 5+ years of integrated circuit development experience, including pre-silicon and first silicon bring-up.
  • Hands-on ATE test program development, bring-up, and debug for scan testing.
  • Experience working on complex SoCs or chips in high-performance computing or AI domains.
  • Strong collaboration skills with cross-functional teams in a structured environment.
  • Working knowledge of DFT techniques, including scan/structural test methodologies.
  • Proficiency in debugging and optimizing test programs and validation flows.
