The Test Architecture team provides technical leadership for semiconductor test methodology, design-for-test strategy, test infrastructure, and process optimization across Renesas' analog and mixed-signal product portfolio. This role partners closely with design, product, and test engineering teams to drive test innovation from new product introduction through high-volume manufacturing. ### Key Responsibilities Define and drive test architecture, methodology, and innovation for analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products. Partner with IC design, product engineering, and test engineering teams to establish design-for-test (DFT) requirements and optimize product testability. Architect and optimize mixed-signal test hardware and software solutions to improve test quality, throughput, cost, and manufacturability. Evaluate and influence tester roadmap, test methodologies, and process improvements across the organization. Provide technical leadership and mentorship on test strategies, best practices, and problem-solving for complex semiconductor products. ## Qualifications BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline with 10+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering or a closely related field. Candidates with backgrounds in product engineering, characterization, silicon validation, applications engineering, or analog/mixed-signal IC design and significant test development experience will also be considered. Extensive Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) development experience and proven track record developing production test solutions on platforms such as Advantest 93K, ETS, Teradyne FLEX, Diamondx, LTX, SPEA, or similar systems. Experience designing test hardware and software for mixed-signal test solutions, including both test hardware and software for wafer sort and final test. Experience with all aspects of new product introduction, from customer samples and qualification to characterization and production test systems. Experience testing analog, mixed-signal, data converter, power management, and related semiconductor devices. Familiarity with digital interfaces, memory technologies. The theory of operation of these products is highly desirable. Experience with analog or mixed-signal IC design and related development tools a plus but not required. Thorough understanding of electrical engineering principles. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 17, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 12, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 12, 2026 - Listed for: 25 days - Location: San Jose, CALIFORNIA, United States - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Renesas Electronics’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/RenesasElectronics/744000150125294-principal-test-engineer-test-architecture) ## More jobs at Renesas Electronics ### [Business Planning Specialist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/aa7351e8180427f86b65/) San Jose, CALIFORNIA, United States ### [Graduate Field Applications Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/5c11248e97e4afba61e7/) San Jose, CALIFORNIA, United States ### [Principal Analog Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/b963154cb358e6f9e3bf/) San Jose, CALIFORNIA, United States ### [Principal Electrical Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/f91545bbad5acb521ec5/) San Jose, CALIFORNIA, United States ### [Senior Analog Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/ced9f4384858a38b7806/) San Jose, CALIFORNIA, United States ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Principal Test Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/c9f6847fbabca35b6453/) BAE Systems · Nashua, New Hampshire, United States ### [Senior Principal Test Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/f25e745af44a45c488ab/) BAE Systems · Totowa, New Jersey, United States ### [Integration and Test - Test Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/10fc5f7f3fdb2996dde3/) Lockheed Martin · Huntsville, AL ### [Integration and Test - Test Engineer Mid Career](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/2bd35ab8a9f9692d725b/) Lockheed Martin · Huntsville, AL ### [Test Engineer | Space Systems Test (Secret Clearance Required)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/8d4217cf241bd86a3f6c/) General Dynamics · Scottsdale, AZ, US OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
