You will work closely with DFT, Design, Yield, Reliability, Product, and Test Engineering teams, contributing to issue resolution, data‑driven decisions, and continuous improvement of test quality and cost.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, bring up, and validate SoC | Chiplet test programs across NPI and high‑volume manufacturing stages.

• Debug and resolve issues related to coverage, test time, yield, and test escapes.

• Improve test efficiency and cost, including test time optimization and test flow simplification.

• Analyze test and yield data to identify trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.

• Collaborate cross‑functionally with DFT, Design, Yield, Reliability, Product, and Manufacturing Test Engineers.

• Participate in cross‑region collaboration, driving timely issue resolution across global teams.

• Communicate technical findings clearly to peers and stakeholders, with appropriate level of detail.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• 4+ years of Test Engineering experience, with hands‑on involvement in SoC test program bring‑up.

• Experience in one or more of the following test areas:

• Structural test (ATPG, TDF, MBIST)

• Functional test

• High‑speed test

• Test‑related characterization

• High‑voltage stress

• Experience in one or more chiplet‑based or multi‑die products, including die‑to‑die (D2D) interfaces and associated test and yield challenges.

• Hands‑on experience with Advantest 93K or Teradyne UltraFLEX / iFlex test platforms.

• Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages (C++, VB, Java, Python).

• Experience using test or yield data analysis tools (e.g., O+, Data Power, Exensio).

• Exposure to test method or test library development, including development, validation, regression, and enhancements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong background in Structural Test Engineering, particularly SCAN / ATPG / MBIST.

• Experience working on System‑on‑Chip (SoC) | Chiplet products.

• Experience defining or executing chiplet test strategies, including:

• D2D interface coverage

• Multi‑stage test flows

• Yield issue root‑causing and resolution

• Collaboration with DFT, Design, Process, and Package Design teams

• Experience supporting test bring‑up or debug on advanced or leading‑edge technology nodes.

• Experience using data analysis tools such as O+, Exensio, JMP, or similar platforms.

• Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers in a collaborative engineering environment.

• Interest or experience in AI‑assisted tools for test automation, workflow efficiency, or engineering data analysis.

• Hands‑on experience with version control systems (Git or SVN).

• Familiarity with issue tracking systems such as JIRA.

• Comfortable communicating in English, including participation in technical discussions and cross‑region collaboration.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Hardware Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Engineering, or related field.
