Job Description

We are looking for a Chip Test Engineer with deep expertise in RF, digital, and analog/mixed-signal testing to lead the development of test solutions from initial silicon bring-up through high-volume production.

This role is critical in bridging R&D and manufacturing, taking early proof-of-concept validation

setups and scaling them into robust wafer-level and ATE production-test solutions for our advanced sensor ICs used in ADAS and autonomous-driving applications.

What You’ll Do

o Lead initial silicon bring-up and bench validation for new ICs, including debugging and characterization of first silicon.

o Develop proof-of-concept (PoC) test setups using lab equipment and translate these into scalable production test methodologies.

o Design and implement production test solutions at:

  • Wafer level (probe)
  • ATE platforms (e.g., Teradyne, Advantest)

o Own the full lifecycle of test development: bench → characterization → correlation → production release.

o Develop and optimize test programs, scripts, and automation using C++, Python, or similar tools.

o Work closely with design (RF, analog, digital), systems, and product engineering teams to define test coverage and ensure alignment with specifications.

o Perform correlation between bench measurements and ATE results, ensuring accuracy and repeatability.

o Characterize and validate the performance of:

  • RF circuits
  • ADCs
  • DSP blocks
  • Mixed-signal subsystems

o Support testing of multi-chip module (MCM) packages, including system-level validation considerations.

o Analyze test data to identify yield issues, parametric shifts, and failure modes using tools like JMP, Spotfire, or similar.

o Drive test time reduction, yield improvement, and cost optimization in production.

o Collaborate with OSATs and test vendors to deploy and qualify test solutions in manufacturing.

What You Bring

o Education: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

o 5+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, with strong product engineering exposure.

Proven experience across:

o Bench testing and silicon bring-up

o Test development and characterization

o Production test implementation (wafer probe + ATE)

Strong hands-on experience with:

o RF test methods (e.g., spectrum analysis, signal generation)

o Analog and mixed-signal validation

o High-speed digital testing

o Familiarity with testing:

  • RF circuits
  • ADCs
  • DSP-based systems

o Experience working with multi-chip module (MCM) packages is highly desirable.

o Proficiency in ATE platforms such as Teradyne or Advantest.

o Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar for automation and data analysis.

o Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as:

  • Oscilloscopes
  • Spectrum analyzers
  • Signal generators
  • Network analyzers

o Strong understanding of correlation between lab and production environments.

o Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Bonus Points

o Experience with mmWave or RFIC-based systems.

o Background in automotive semiconductor products (ADAS/AV).

o Experience working closely with OSATs for test transfer and yield ramp.

o Prior experience in a startup or fast-paced product development environment.
