Principal Engineer

Overview

Serve as a Principal Engineer and experienced ATE Test Engineer developing semiconductor test solutions for SoC, RF, IoT, and connectivity products. Own end-to-end ATE test development from silicon bring-up and characterization through production testing, yield improvement, qualification, and manufacturing release.

What you'll do

• Own and drive ATE test solutions and hardware development for wafer-level and package-level testing of SoC, RF, and IoT products.
• Develop, debug, and maintain characterization and production test programs for wireless connectivity, PSoC Edge, and microcontroller devices.
• Design and support multi-site ATE hardware solutions on Teradyne UltraFLEX and UltraFLEX Plus platforms.
• Apply DFT, circuit analysis, process-design-test integration, DOE, and SPC to improve product quality and test effectiveness.
• Lead resolution of customer application issues and RMA investigations through timely root-cause analysis and closure.
• Create and enhance test programs to drive manufacturing improvements and production efficiency across existing and new products.
• Validate product performance and compliance with datasheet specifications during design optimization and customer sampling phases.
• Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support to internal teams, manufacturing partners, and customers.
• Drive device and package qualification, supporting new product introduction and production transfers.
• Participate in first silicon bring-up, debug, yield improvement, and test time optimization for high-volume manufacturing.
• Collaborate with IP Design, Applications, DFT, Product Engineering, and Test Engineering teams on product development and production release.

What you'll need

• Minimum 12+ years of experience in ATE test development and semiconductor product testing.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields.
• Hands-on experience with Teradyne UltraFLEX, UltraFLEX Plus, and/or Advantest V93K platforms.
• Strong expertise in Digital, Analog, Mixed-Signal, and RF testing.
• Sound knowledge of DFT, ATPG, PMU, DOE, SPC, and semiconductor test methodologies.
• Proficiency in C, C++, Java, Visual Basic, Perl, Python, MATLAB, or similar programming languages.
• Experience with IG-XL (v10+) and lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, and SMUs.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and technical leadership skills.
• Proven ability to mentor teams and drive manufacturing and test process improvements.
