Analog & DevOps ATE Test Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop, validate, and release test programs for wafer probe and final test on the Advantest V93000 SmartScale platform using SmarTest 8, with automotive-grade requirements.
• Drive DFT/DFM implementation for new products in partnership with design and test architects to maximize coverage efficiency and minimize test time.
• Support development of various test targets, including characterization, qualification, probe, and final test solutions.
• Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation, including handler and load board bring-up, contactor qualification, and tester correlation.
• Define, improve, and validate test methods, procedures, and techniques that can be reused across product lines.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for test program development, regression testing, and release.
• Maintain a centralized test IP/reuse library (code, limit tables, utilities) with disciplined version control using Git-based workflows.
• Build and enforce automated test program audit tools that validate coverage completeness, limit table integrity, naming conventions, and hardware resource utilization.
• Contribute to and help standardize test infrastructure tooling (Docker-based environments, scripted deployment, platform abstraction layers) to reduce setup friction across the team.
• Champion code quality practices, including code reviews, unit testing of test utilities, and documentation standards.

Requirements

• 8+ years of hands-on analog ATE test engineering experience with a BS in Electrical Engineering, or 5+ years with an MS.
• Deep, production-proven experience with the Advantest V93000 / SmarTest 8 platform.
• Strong understanding of analog design and measurement techniques for analog and/or RF designs.
• Exposure to post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, debugging, root cause analysis, product engineering, and foundry interaction.
• Strong programming skills in Python for test utilities, data analysis, and automation scripting, and Java for SmarTest 8 test method development.
• Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent) for test program validation and release.
• Proficiency with Git and structured branching/release workflows in a collaborative development environment.
