Test Engineer - Power Interface

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that drives testing of highly integrated multi‑rail power management devices going into markets with significant growth potential. The ideal candidate will have a background that includes probe and final test development of complex mixed‑signal circuits, focusing on ATE testing of USB Controllers, Wide‑VIN, and Power over Ethernet devices.

Responsibilities

• Work with the design team to understand design specifications.
• Generate test plans, create test and characterization programs, and design ATE hardware interface boards.
• Debug and characterize silicon on ATE, correlating results with bench data.
• Analyze silicon results and support failure‑analysis tasks.
• Perform statistical analysis of yield fallout, debug and fix yield issues, and optimize test time.
• Collaborate with the production team to release products to volume production.
• Define and implement test strategies for new DC‑DC converter products.
• Develop and maintain ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) test hardware and software.
• Conduct silicon qualification and characterization, including qualification hardware development.
• Provide comprehensive device debugging, design validation, and failure analysis.
• Drive robust and cost‑effective test solutions while being accountable for product quality.

Qualifications

Minimum requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant experience.

Preferred qualifications:

• ATE experience on Teradyne platforms (Eagle Ultraflex, J750); ETS800 and J750 experience is a differentiator.
• Characterization test program and hardware development experience.
• Production test program and hardware development experience.
• Strong technical knowledge of electronic devices, circuits, and analog test techniques.
• Data analysis skills using Spotfire, dataPower, or equivalent tools based on STDF.
• Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, sourcemeters, and loads.
• Experience with product engineering activities such as yield improvement and test‑time reduction.
• Understanding of the IC product development process from concept to volume production.
• Mixed‑signal test techniques and experience developing mixed‑signal tests on TI roadmap testers.
• Experience with test program and hardware offload to TI offshore manufacturing sites.
• Programming/scripting proficiency in C++, Python, C#, LabVIEW, and TestStand.
• Revision control tools experience (Subversion, Git).
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, verbal, and written communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively across functions and manage time effectively to meet project deadlines.
• Demonstrated ability to build influential relationships and drive results in a fast‑paced, changing environment.
