Test Engineer

Summary: Develop, debug, and support Automated Test Equipment (ATE) programs for digital, mixed‑signal, and RF integrated circuits and eventually (High Performance Compute) HPC devices leading to Co-Packaged Optics (CPO). Work closely with internal engineering teams and external customers to enable characterization, qualification, and high‑volume production test.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (other duties may be assigned):

• Develop and debug ATE test programs using Advantest SmarTest 7/8 for digital, mixed‑signal, and RF devices (Teradyne also acceptable)
• Collaborate with design, product, and customer engineering teams to define test strategies and coverage
• Analyze device requirements and implement optimal test methodologies for characterization and production
• Load, execute, and debug test programs; collect logs and perform yield and failure analysis
• Perform silicon debug and root‑cause analysis using ATE tools and bench equipment
• Support bring‑up and ongoing production test, including correlation and yield improvement
• Manage tester‑to‑handler/prober communications and resolve interface issues

Supervisory Responsibilities:

This job has no supervisory responsibilities.

Education and/or Experience:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 1-5 years of experience in Test Engineer, Product Engineer, or related positions strongly preferred.

Knowledge, Abilities and Skills:

• Strong knowledge of digital (including high‑speed) and mixed‑signal device testing
• General knowledge of RF, memory, and high‑speed I/O (e.g., PCIe, SerDes, Ethernet)
• Knowledge of Silicon Photonics or theory of, will be a plus
• Experience with data analysis and debug using tester logs and engineering tools
• Programming/scripting experience: C/C++, Python, Perl (Java/VB optional)
• Operating systems: Linux/UNIX and Windows

Other Skills and Abilities: (tools and equipment)
