About the job

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that drives testing of battery monitors and protectors power management devices going into automotive and industrial markets with significant growth potential. The ideal candidate would have a background that includes probe and final test development of complex mixed signal circuits.

Test engineering is a critical role in an IC development process while developing a mass-production solution. Test engineers spend a good amount of time in the lab and when they're not there, they are designing test hardware using software tools like cadence and building test programs on an ATE simulator, or troubleshooting – the programs or the device.

Responsibilities include:

• Work with design team to understand design specifications
• Generate test plan, create test and char program, design ATE hardware interface boards
• Debug characterizing silicon on ATE, correlate results with bench data
• Analyze silicon results, supporting failure analysis tasks
• Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug and fix yield issues; optimize test time
• Work with production team to release products to volume production
• •Test strategy definition and implementation for new battery products
• ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) test hardware and software
• Silicon qualification& characterization including qual hardware development
• Comprehensive device debugging, design validation and failure analysis
• Drive for robust and cost effective test solutions while being accountable for product quality

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 3+ years of relevant experience
• ATE experience on Teradyne Eagle or equivalent analog ATE (iFlex, LTX, VLCT), although Eagle experience is preferred and is a differentiator
• Characterization test program and hardware development experience, Production test program and hardware development experience
• Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices and circuits, and Analog test techniques
• Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower or equivalent tool based on STDF
• Experienced with various lab equipment such as scopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, loads etc.
• Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test time reduction
• Strong understanding of the IC product development process, from concept to volume production

Preferred qualifications:

• Mixed signal test techniques and experience with developing mixed-signal tests on TI roadmap testers
• Experienced with test program and hardware offload to TI offshore manufacturing sites
• Proficiency in programming/scripting in C++, Python, C#
• Revision control tools experience : Subversion, Git
• Demonstrated strong analytical and problem solving skills
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work in teams and collaborate effectively with people in different functions
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery
• Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results
