Senior Staff Test Engineer

Test Strategy & Development

• Develop cost-effective and high-efficiency test solutions for GaN and Silicon device families.
• Create, debug, and release test programs on discrete testers and mixed signal ATE platforms. Lead the transition of legacy platforms to new technology nodes.

Hardware Design & Requirements

• Lead the design reviews and acceptance of high-performance test interface hardware provided by external vendors.
• Design test hardware including load boards, probe heads, and sockets.
• Define test hardware requirements based on device specifications and characterization data

Execution & Sustaining

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) through validation, release, and yield ramp activities.
• Provide sustaining support for production products and test platforms.
• Lead platform conversions and drive efficiency improvements across multiple ATE systems.

Technical Expertise

• Apply knowledge of wide bandgap semiconductors, power devices, and analog measurement techniques.
• Perform high-voltage and high-current testing safely and efficiently.
• Use lab tools such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, spectrum analyzers, and ATE debugging utilities.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Partner with design, product, reliability, test, and operations teams to ensure smooth project execution.
• Organize technical data and present findings for engineering and management teams.

Qualifications
