- Exposure to post-silicon validation, **product

Full Description

Designation: Silicon validation Engineer/ Sr. Silicon validation Engineer/ Team Lead

Experience: 2-10 Years

Working Location: Bangalore/Chennai/Vishakapatnam

Who Can Apply

2–10 years of experience in the Semiconductor industry with exposure to Post Silicon Validation, Product Engineering, or ATE/Test Engineering activities Hands-on experience with ATE platforms such as Teradyne, Advantest, National Instruments (NI), Cohu, or similar semiconductor test platforms will be considered an added advantage

Job Description

Test Engineer must work with different teams for understanding the device datasheet and needs to come up with a detailed Test procedure/plan to test the chip. Need to interact with the PCB design team for developing the necessary hardware – Test load board, bench board, and probe cards.

He/she should develop the complete ATE test program to validate the chip. Close interactions with the chip design and DFT teams are a must during the device debug phase and bring up and need to validate all the device parameters with the specifications. In addition, Test engineer should involve in developing the test methodologies as required.

Responsibilities

Develop ATE test solution for semiconductor IC’s in different domains as Power management / Digital / Mixed signal or RF Be a primary contact to interact with customer / vendors (design / support teams) Work with design/DFT team to develop the detailed test procedure from device data sheet. Develop and lead the hardware design activity (Probe cards / Final test load boards), develop schematics, provide placement / layout guidelines to PCB design engineer Silicon bring up using ATE tool such as Teradyne, Advantest etc (Uflex, Ultra Flex, IFlex, UltraFlex +,V 93K,ETS 88,ETS 364. ATE software development as per test procedure document (C, C++, Python, VB etc) Device characterization across temperature, voltage and process corners, and validate the chip against the specification Responsible for releasing the Final production quality test program to the customer –both wafer final test program. Interact with the customer on a daily basis and provide status updates through e-mails and conference calls. Responsible from the beginning to the Final test program release to production

Post Silicon Validation Engineer(ATE- 93K/UFlex)
