Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Architecture, Design, and Verification teams to develop new product bring-up, validation, characterization, and qualification strategies, as well as manufacturing test solutions for new High Performance Computing (HPC) products in advanced process technologies.
• Verify test solutions on pre-silicon models (simulation or emulation) and develop ATE test modules, DC tests, binning, production, and characterization flows.
• Develop and validate test programs on Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platforms for new product integration (NPI) in preparation for high-volume manufacturing (HVM), working with ATE vendors and internal cross-functional teams.
• Create tools, flows, and methodologies to continuously improve and automate the testing life-cycle.
• Influence and work with upstream and downstream partners to enable automated solutions to test problems.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience in test engineering.
• Experience scripting in Python or Java.
• Experience with ATE test platforms such as the Advantest 93K and Teradyne UltraFlex SOC test systems.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• Experience in pre-silicon validation, test content generation, ATE program development, and post-silicon enabling from New Product Introduction through High Volume Manufacturing.
• Experience in creating end-to-end manufacturing test strategies for PCBA and systems that cover structural through functional and system tests.
• Experience in C# or C/C++ is preferred.

In most instances, this position requires in-person interviews as part of the hiring process.
