• Develop test strategy, test programs, and test hardware for wafer and final test aligned with automotive requirements.  

• Manage and achieve test engineering milestones.  

• Contribute to digital and analog test pattern creation, simulation, and tester-dependent vector generation.  

• Define and develop test methods, procedures, and techniques.  

• Support development of production and characterization test hardware for ATE application, targeting high test coverage (wafer and final test).  

• Analyze engineering test data and report results to the team (design, PE, Qual, etc).  

• Lead the introduction and release of mass-production test software and hardware solutions  

• Understand new chip features and define appropriate coverage within the target test system.  

• Serve as first-line debug support to isolate failures (RMAs, qual failures, test escapes, silicon bugs , etc.).  

KEY QUALIFICATIONS  

• Master’s degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Microwave Engineering and 3+ years of RF/mmWave ATE test engineering experience.  

• Or Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Microwave Engineering and 5+ years of RF/mmWave ATE test engineering experience.  

• Hands-on experience with RF/mmWave amplifier, mixer, beamformer, LNA, and power amplifier testing.  

• Strong understanding of RF measurements such as S-parameters, stability, noise figure (NF), linearity (P1dB), IM3, conversion gain, and multi-channel signal analysis.  

• Lab experience with network analyzers, signal analyzers, phase noise analyzers, and related RF test equipment.  

• Experience creating compliance matrices and presenting results.  

• Ability to identify RF test components based on test methodology.  

• Exposure to post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, debug, root cause analysis, product engineering, and foundry interaction.  

• Strong programming skills for writing and debugging test programs and resolving hardware-related issues.  

• Proficiency with scripting languages (Python/Perl) and high-level languages (Java/C/C++).  

• Preferred experience with V93000 SoC Tester – Smartest 8 (preferred) or Smartest 7 

• Comfortable working primarily in a lab environment with strong experimental and root-cause analysis skills.  

• Strong data analysis skills and attention to detail.  

• Knowledge of PCB design, testing, and debugging.  

NICE-TO-HAVES (experience in one or more of the following) 

• Chip design experience (circuit/physical design, DV, timing closure, power, block-level test correlation).  

• Post-silicon physical debug (speed-path/Vmin, memory arrays, clocking, yield optimization).  

• Post-silicon logic debug, including DFX feature analysis, scan-dump/mem-dump, and system-level/DV test suggestions.  

• Product engineering experience, including ATE coverage, margins, binning, and scan pattern generation.  

• Familiarity with MIPI protocols.
