About the role

  • The ideal candidate will possess strong technical depth in semiconductor test and validation, a passion for solving complex engineering challenges, and a strong focus on product quality and manufacturability.
  • This covers chips, boards and finished systems and takes place both in the manufacturing sites and in the field.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and integrate SLT test content in collaboration with Silicon Validation, Bring-up, Product Engineering, and Manufacturing teams.
  • Lead development of SLT hardware including test boards, sockets, thermal solutions, instrumentation, and vendor engagements.
  • Develop and maintain SLT software frameworks, automation infrastructure, diagnostics, telemetry collection, and data analysis tools.
  • Drive characterization activities including voltage margining, frequency characterization, thermal characterization, and reliability screening.
  • Lead debug, failure analysis, root-cause investigations, and correlation activities across Simulation, ATE, Bench, SLT, and manufacturing environments.
  • Support transfer of SLT solutions into OSAT and contract manufacturing environments and provide production ramp support.
  • Drive technical reviews, project planning, risk management, and execution tracking for assigned workstreams.
  • Collaborate with external vendors and industry partners to evaluate and deploy SLT platforms and solutions.

Requirements

  • Experience in System-Level Test, production test, characterization, or post-silicon validation of complex semiconductor products.
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor fundamentals, power delivery, signal integrity, board design practices, and advanced packaging technologies.
  • Knowledge of DFT methodologies including scan, JTAG, BIST, MBIST, boundary scan, and manufacturing test architectures.

Skills

  • Work closely with DFT teams to understand testability, observability, scan architectures, and manufacturing test requirements.
  • Contribute to definition of future SLT architectures, methodologies, and infrastructure requirements.

Benefits

  • Lead development and deployment of SLT hardware and software solutions supporting silicon bring-up, characterization, yield learning, and manufacturing deployment.
  • Define and optimize test coverage, test time, screening effectiveness, DPPM, and manufacturing test strategies.

Company info

  • The Product Test and Diagnostics team's role is to detect and manage hardware defects that arise from the manufacture and use of our products.
  • and Duties
  • Own major SLT workstreams and drive execution from requirements definition through deployment and production readiness.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership within the team.
