Senior Engineer, Test Engineering - Product Development

Duties

• Design and develop high performance test solutions on products for first silicon verification, characterization, qualification, and manufacturing of precision digital and mixed signal products for Automotive customers.
• Design, develop, and debug multi-site, cost effective test hardware/software solutions for characterization, qualification, and production wafer probe and final test.
• Design, develop, and implement cost-effective methods of testing, evaluating, and troubleshooting systems and equipment for all phases of product development and high-volume manufacturing.
• Define test schematics and work with lay-out engineers to design printed circuit board multi-site test hardware.
• Debug test programs, correlate production test solutions to engineering bench measurements, and transfer production test solutions to manufacturing sites.
• Engage and support manufacturing to maintain production yield and quality, improve test cost, and resolve product and test problems after production release.
• Participate in new product development teams and evaluate new test systems for future applications.
• Work with the Design and Systems/Applications engineering teams to develop and implement a Design for Test plan, and translate tests from the Design Verification simulation environment to the Automatic Test Equipment test platform.
• Manage and maintain project schedules that align with product introduction and release.
