Test Hardware Integration: Collaborate with PCB and probe card designers to optimize test hardware for power and signal integrity at high speed (PCIe Gen6, HBM4, Maxphy, 400G+ SerDes). Actively debug hardware-software interface issues on the loadboard and probe card levels.
Design-for-Test (DFT) Influence: Partner with design teams to ensure DFT features (Scan, MBIST, Boundary Scan and various IP) are effectively integrated and utilized in the test flow. Provide feedback on design hooks to improve testability and reduce test time (TTR).
Characterization & Optimization: Perform rigorous PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) characterization experiments to establish product guard-bands. Drive initiatives to optimize test time and test coverage before the product reaches volume manufacturing.
Cross-Functional Technical Lead: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for IP owners, DFT engineers, and assembly/test partners. Communicate debug findings, yield limiters, and hardware limitations clearly to drive design corrections.
Technical Qualifications
Platform Expertise: Proven experience developing ATE test programs on Advantest SmartScale (PS1600) or ExaScale (PS5000) platforms.
Language Proficiency: Advanced programming skills in C++, Python, and Perl, with the ability to write robust, maintainable test code.
Silicon Fundamentals: Deep understanding of silicon physics, ESD, latch-up, and the challenges of testing at advanced nodes (1.4nm/2nm/3nm).
Hardware Knowledge: Strong grasp of high-speed electronics, transmission line theory, power delivery and test hardware design (loadboards, sockets, and thermal control).
NPI Lifecycle: Demonstrated success in navigating the NPI milestones—from tape-out to qualification and high-volume transfer.
