Test Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Test Engineer with hands-on experience in the semiconductor domain and ATE (Automated Test Equipment). The ideal candidate should have experience in ATE test program development, silicon validation, device characterization, hardware debugging, and wafer/final testing.

Experience with Teradyne, Advantest, NI Cohu, and preferably V93K is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed test procedures based on device datasheets and project requirements.
• Develop, debug, and optimize ATE test programs for wafer sort and final/package testing.
• Perform first-silicon verification, device bring-up, debugging, and validation using ATE and bench equipment.
• Conduct device characterization across temperature, voltage, and process corners.
• Design and develop test hardware such as load boards, bench boards, qualification boards, and probe cards.
• Work closely with Design and DFT teams throughout the product development and testing lifecycle.
• Support the release of production-quality wafer and final test programs.
• Perform hardware bring-up, debugging, characterization, and root-cause analysis.
• Prepare test plans, execute test cases, document results, and generate technical reports.
• Coordinate with customers and internal teams to understand requirements and provide project updates.
• Ensure testing activities and project deliverables are completed within defined timelines and quality standards.

Required Skills

• 1.5–5 years of experience in semiconductor testing / product engineering / ATE testing.
• Hands-on experience with ATE platforms such as Teradyne, Advantest, or NI Cohu.
• Advanced knowledge of ATE testers; V93K experience is preferred.
• Strong fundamentals of electronics with knowledge of digital, analog, and mixed-signal concepts.
• Experience in board bring-up, hardware debugging, and silicon validation.
• Knowledge of communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, JTAG, and CAN.
• Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout review, and design validation.
• Hands-on experience with bench equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, digital multimeters, and power supplies.
• Programming knowledge in C++, C#, .NET, or VB.
• Knowledge of RF fundamentals and RF testing is an added advantage.
• Experience testing/characterizing devices such as PLL, PMIC, LDO, and RF transceiver devices is preferred.
• Knowledge of RF parameters including Gain, Noise Figure, Harmonics, Isolation, and S-Parameters.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills.
• Good communication and coordination skills with cross-functional teams.
