About the role
Responsible for product and test engineering activities supporting new product development and manufacturing. Contribute to silicon bring-up, validation, and manufacturing readiness while working closely with cross-functional partners. Support semiconductor IC development across fabrication, manufacturing test, and packaging phases. Contribute to ATE test program development, including test method implementation, test bring-up, silicon characterization, debug, and yield analysis for embedded memories. Execute defined test plans and methodologies while identifying issues and escalating risks with clear technical data. Apply working knowledge of Design-for-Test (DFT), silicon fabrication processes, product qualification and reliability, and basic transistor theory. Collaborate with design, DFT, product, and manufacturing teams to support memory test readiness and issue resolution. Gain exposure to product domains such as high-performance computing, AI, GPUs, and telecom, as applicable to assigned projects. Support DFT test content generation, pre-silicon validation, and post-silicon debug activities. Work with Design DFT teams to support simulation and emulation activities for test validation. Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their US. residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable. 5+ years of experience in integrated circuit development, including pre-silicon, first silicon bring-up, or new product introduction. 5+ years of experience in product and test engineering, with hands-on exposure to ATE test program development, bring-up, and debug. Experience working on complex SoCs or chips, including exposure to high-performance, AI, or advanced-node designs. Clear written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical data effectively. Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams in a structured development environment. Working knowledge of probability, statistics, and basic DOE concepts. Familiarity with DFT and DFM techniques. Understanding silicon bring-up, debug, and characterization on ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest 93K). Experience with optical test and characterization (e.g., silicon photonics or optical device validation). Basic device physics background. Demonstrated adaptability, curiosity, and constructive problem-solving approach. Strong Growth Mindset with a desire to learn and expand technical depth. Fundamentals of computer architecture. Good unit and integration testing skills. Proficiency with Linux-based environments. Experience debugging and optimizing software used in test or validation flows. Customer-focused mindset with attention to quality and execution. Demonstrated ability to deliver results on assigned tasks with guidance. Sound technical judgment in scoping and resolving well-defined problems.
