Key Responsibilities:  

• Test Program & Solution Development: Takes ownership of the entire test solution development process, from initial concept to implementation.  
• Test Plan Development: Creating comprehensive test plans to cover all aspects of the chip's functionality.  
• Sound knowledge on Digital, Mixed signal, RF test methodologies. Experience in developing the test programs in ATE environment for Digital, mixed signal, RF devices. 
• Device debug for Digital, Mixed Signal, RF devices using ATE tools and verify with bench Test results.  
• Responsible for working with different teams for understanding the device datasheet and come up with a detailed Test procedure/plan to test the chip in ATE environment. 
• Strong working experience in Teradyne test systems like ETS (364/88/800), Ultra Flex, J750, Magnum, Advantest V93K systems or any other ATE Tester. 
• Build ATE hardware design (load board & probe card), PCB design tools and Signal Integrity analysis. 
• Need to interact with the PCB design team for developing the necessary hardware – Test load board, bench board and probe cards. 
• Knowledge on Device Characterization, testing at different temperatures.  
• Knowledge on data extraction tool like Perl, Python will be added advantage. 
• Performance Optimization: Improves testing processes and methodologies to ensure efficient and cost-effective testing.  
• Documentation: Creates and maintains test documentation, including test plans, specifications, and procedures.  
• Collaboration: Works closely with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, and quality assurance, to ensure seamless integration and testing of ICs.  
• Test Execution: Running tests on the manufactured silicon, including both pre-silicon (emulation) and post-silicon platforms.  
• Expertise in High Speed Serdes Interface characterization and protocol compliance testing such as PCIe/Ethernet/SDI/Coa Xpress/JESD204, MIPI D-PHY, MIPI CSI/DSI-2, USB and DisplayPort/HDMI etc. 

Essential Attributes:

• Good Knowledge on ATE working on all the tester platforms (Teradyne, Advantest, Cohu ) , C/C++, VB, Python, Perl.
• Ability in Customer communication and interaction & provide status update through e-mails and conference calls. 
• Able to initiate and execute projects independently and should be a team player.
• Programming: Proficiency in C/C++ programming for test software development. 
• Electronics: Strong knowledge of electronic circuits and measurements.
• Analytical Skills: Ability to analyse test results, identify issues, and propose solutions. 
• Problem-Solving: Ability to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to IC testing.   
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills for collaboration and documentation. 
• Teamwork: Ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment. 

Qualifications:

•  Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering or a related field.
