  • Define the requirements specs for test hardware (probe card and loadboard) to enable desired test content/coverage
  • Write the test program
  • Own the success of the product by driving towards hitting the PHIs
  • Drive test time reduction and test socket elimination to achieve cost goals
  • Drive DPM reduction through test hole closure
  • Drive yield up by identifying root cause of failures and working with design, fab, and packaging to address gaps
 
Basic Qualifications:
  • Advanced degree (MS) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
  • 10 years experience in semiconductor industry as a product development engineer
  • Experience working with design team pre-Si to define test and DFT strategy
  • Experience establishing end-to-end manufacturing flow/strategy for optical transceiver products, including a deep understanding of photonic component fabrication and assembly, and specification and optimization of optical channels
  • Experience establishing end-to-end manufacturing flow/strategy for CMOS products, including deep understanding of CMOS fab processes and advanced packaging
  • Experience developing test programs for optical transceiver products
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to present complex technical information clearly and concisely
  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior company leadership and customers
 
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Advanced degree (PhD) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
  • Experience establishing end-to-end manufacturing flow/strategy for optical IO products, including deep understanding of photonics fab and assembly processes
  • Experience developing test programs for optical IO products on industry standard and/or custom platforms
  • Experience working with fab and OSAT to drive yield and quality agenda
  • Developing tools to automate test program generation and data analysis
Salary Range:  $180K to $230K
