ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a Test Engineer with expertise in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and System-Level Testing (SLT) to join our team. The ideal candidate will play a key role in developing and optimizing test strategies for semiconductor and optical components. Experience with optics-based testing is a strong plus.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Develop, debug, and optimize ATE and SLT test programs for production and validation.
- Work closely with design, product, and validation teams to define and implement test requirements.
- Analyze test data to improve yield, performance, and reliability.
- Develop and maintain test patterns and test methodologies for different device types.
- Support JTAG, boundary scan, and other digital/analog test interfaces.
- Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to ensure test coverage and debug failures.
- Automate data collection, analysis, and reporting to enhance efficiency.
- Provide failure analysis and debug support for both production and engineering samples.
- Support new product introduction (NPI) and drive continuous improvement in test coverage and efficiency.
- If applicable, develop and execute optics-based testing methodologies for integrated photonics or optical components.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of Industry experience.
- Hands-on experience with ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest, Teradyne, LTX, etc.).
- Experience in SLT, functional testing, and debug at the system level.
- Proficiency in programming test scripts (Python, C/C++, or equivalent).
