We are looking for a Product & Test Engineer to support and optimize the full test lifecycle of our products. In this role, you will work on automation, new product/package introduction, test flow optimization, yield and SFV improvement, and customer incident resolution. You will collaborate closely with manufacturing, R&D, quality, and data science teams to ensure robust, efficient, and high-quality production. Duties & Responsibilities
The responsibilities include, but are not limited to
- Developing automation workflows and test programs to streamline lot processing and reduce manual intervention.
- Supporting new package and new product introductions through test program optimization and yield improvement activities.
- Optimizing test flows by refining the sequence of testing steps to reduce total cycle time while maintaining test accuracy and product quality.
- Implementing smart burn-in sampling by optimizing the test flow to segregate units by ULT category, allowing some units to skip burn-in based on data science–driven information.
- Introducing capacitive testing to complement existing test methodologies and enhance the detection of wire proximity conditions.
- Evaluating yield metrics and defining improvement plans to enhance production efficiency and robustness.
- Providing timely support for customer incidents, ensuring prompt analysis, resolution, and follow-up.
- Analyzing data from hold lots to identify patterns or anomalies causing delays and performance issues.
- Performing root cause analysis on hold lots to identify underlying issues and implementing actions to prevent recurrence.
- Skills & Qualifications
The ideal candidate shall
- Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- Experience in test engineering, semiconductor manufacturing, or automation is an advantage.
