Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize HTOL test programs aligned with JEDEC standards.
• Operate and maintain HTOL ovens, ensuring efficient test conditions and high data accuracy.
• Design, debug, and bring up HTOL burn in boards.
• Debug and bring up HTOL patterns.
• Apply sophisticated thermal management techniques to deliver detailed temperature control and mitigate thermal stress in HTOL environments.
• Work alongside lab technicians and reliability engineers to solve technical challenges and continuously improving test processes.
• Contribute to cross-functional teams to debug and resolve hardware and software product issues in the HTOL environment.
• Maintain and improve our reliability database, finding opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with vendors to develop and implement improvements to burn-in boards, HTOL systems, and thermal interface materials.

Requirements

• Master's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in HTOL test system operation and data analysis for semiconductor devices.
• Proven expertise in HTOL stress testing, JEDEC standards, and environmental stress tests, including Temperature Cycling (TC), Reflow, Thermal Shock, and HAST.
• Strong ATE or TE skills, including pattern bring up and pcb board debugging and design.
• Hands-on experience with High power HTOL chambers including operation, repair, and preventative maintenance of HTOL chamber.
• Proficiency with oscilloscopes, current probes, and other test equipment for data acquisition and analysis.
• Experience with pattern vector debugging, test script development/modification, and data analysis tools.
• Programming experience with Python or MATLAB for data analysis and automation.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and problem solving skills, with strong attention to detail.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with multi-die HTOL testing and the associated testing challenges.
• Background in HTOL board design for high power GPU or SoC devices.
• Pattern translations, debugging, bringup, experience working with DFT.
• Familiarity with reliability analytics platforms (e.g., JMP) and statistical lifetime modeling (e.g., Weibull, Arrhenius).
• Track record of driving vendor qualification and component selection for reliability test hardware.
