indie is seeking a Principal / Senior Principal ATE Test Engineer to lead the development and deployment of production-ready ATE test solutions for complex SoCs in advanced technology nodes. This role plays a critical part across the product lifecycle—from DFT and test concept development through characterization, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing—while supporting automotive-quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and document comprehensive test plans for new semiconductor devices.

  • Contribute to test concept development and Design-for-Test (DFT) strategy during product development.

  • Lead ATE hardware and software development for bring-up, characterization, reliability, and production testing.

  • Ensure high product quality and cost-effective test solutions suitable for mass production.

  • Oversee test-related activities (hardware and software) with internal teams and external test houses.

  • Release, qualify, and maintain test solutions at offshore/high-volume production test sites.

  • Drive test solutions for complex digital SoCs in advanced process nodes.

  • Support compliance with automotive quality standards, including ISO 26262 where applicable.

  • Identify gaps in test processes, methodologies, and tools; drive continuous improvement toward zero-defect quality.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, product, quality, and manufacturing teams to achieve program goals.

Required Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with Advantest V93000 platform (Smarterest 7 or Smarterest 8).

  • Strong background in DFT and manufacturing test concepts, especially for large SoCs.

  • Deep knowledge of semiconductor test methodologies.

  • Solid understanding of digital and analog fundamentals.

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

  • Proficiency in scripting and high-level programming languages (e.g., Python, Perl, C/C++, or Java).

  • Practical experience using lab test equipment such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.

  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
