The Sr Test Engineer reports directly to the Sr. Test Engineering Manager and interfaces with Design, Applications, Marketing, and Product Engineers. The Sr Test Engineer is responsible for all phases of new product test development life-cycle from definition through production release for new products in development in the System Protection NPI team. This includes the development of full production and characterization test solutions including hardware design, layout, software design, debugging, ATE to bench correlation, test solution robustness testing (spike checking, R&R checks, etc), and full test transfer to production environment all with the optimal test time for lowest product cost.

Responsibilities:

• Full test transfer to Reliability testing environment including test support during REL for all test solutions in the SP NPI team.
• Develop characterization and production final test solutions for System Protection NPI products
• Design test hardware, software, and debug each
• ATE to bench correlation
• Test solution robustness (spike checking, R&R checks, etc)
• Test documentation using phase review system
• Develop new test methods for improved test time, product robustness, and quality
• Full test transfer to Production test environment

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering or related field and 10+ years of experience as a Test Engineer, Electrical Engineer or related occupation in the semiconductor industry
• Qualifying experience should include the following areas:
• Deep understanding of PMIC architectures (buck/boost converters, LDOS, etc) and/or Hot Switch controllers
• Knowledge of analog/mixed-signal test methodologies
• ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) experience: Teradyne (J750, UltraFLEX, ETS), Advantest (V93000), Cohu, etc.
• Knowledge of reliability testing (HTOL, TC, HAST)
• Test program development (IG-XL, SmartTest, C++, Python)
• Understanding of EDA tool. Knowledge of Altium Designer is an advantage
• Parametric testing, functional testing, and characterization
• Statistical analysis and yield optimization
• DFT (Design for Test) and testability analysis
• Correlation studies (ATE-to-bench, ATE-to-ATE, wafer-to-final test)
• Cross-functional team collaboration (Design, Product Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing)
• Strong cross-cultural communication skills and the ability to work with global teams across U.S. and Asia time zones.
• NPI (New Product Introduction) test planning and execution
• Multi-project coordination across product lines
• Schedule management and meeting product launch timelines
