Staff ATE Test Engineer
Los Angeles, CAStaff or Principal Test Engineer
Location: Irvine, CA
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Ownership:
• Own test engineering solutions across all product phases: silicon bring-up, characterization, customer sampling, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing.
Test Architecture & Strategy:
• Define test strategy, coverage goals, and manufacturing methodologies; develop comprehensive product Test Plans and drive DFT alignment.
ATE Solution Leadership:
Lead all aspects of the test solution including:
• Test programs and automation
• ATE hardware platforms
• Probe cards, load boards, fixturing, and mechanical interfaces
Cross-Functional Leadership:
• Act as a core team member for new product introduction, participating in architecture reviews, testability/DFT reviews, and quality trade-off decisions.
Coverage & Optimization:
• Partner with Design Engineering to ensure high test coverage, yield optimization, and test time targets.
Correlation & Characterization:
• Correlate ATE results with bench validation data; characterize device performance and margins for volume production.
Manufacturing Readiness:
• Coordinate with internal manufacturing, technology partners, and sub-cons to drive NPI test release and volume ramp.
Mentorship & Influence:
• Provide technical guidance to other test engineers and help shape long-term test infrastructure and standards.
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or related field with 10+ years of test engineering experience (Master’s preferred).
• Expert-level experience with Advantest 93K and/or Teradyne Uflex platforms.
• Strong background in mixed-signal ATE development for complex SoCs including:
- High-speed ADC/DAC
- SERDES
- DSP-based devices
• Solid understanding of Scan, MBIST, and loop-back test methodologies.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Familiarity with bench instrumentation such as Network Analyzers and Sampling Oscilloscopes.
• At-speed wafer probe experience.
• Experience with schematic capture, PCB layout, and 2D/3D CAD tools.
