Description

The Chip Test Engineer plays a crucial role in designing, developing, and implementing automated test for IC chips and systems for Automotive industry. The Test Engineer is responsible to define and develop tests, design test features, program test scripts, and analyze test results to ensure the quality and functionality of products. The Test Engineer collaborates with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot issues, improve test processes, and support product development efforts.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement test strategies, plans, and procedures for ATE systems to ensure comprehensive testing of ICs.
• Design and develop test features, test programs, and test scripts for automated test environment (ATE) based on product specifications and requirements.
•  Collaborate with design engineers, product manager, production vendors and manufacturing teams to understand product functionality, performance requirements, and testability considerations.
• Conduct feasibility studies and risk assessments to identify potential challenges and develop mitigation strategies for test development and implementation.
• Develop test program based on code languages C++ ,Java and Python.
• Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve issues with ATE hardware, software, and test scripts to ensure reliable and accurate test results.
• Analyze test data and results to identify trends, anomalies, and potential defects, and provide feedback to design and development teams for product improvement.
• Develop and maintain documentation for test procedures, specifications, and configurations.
• Collaborate with vendors and suppliers to evaluate and select ATE equipment, components, and software tools that meet project requirements and performance standards.
• Stay abreast of industry trends, advancements in test technologies, and best practices in automated testing to drive continuous improvement in test processes and methodologies.
