Senior Staff Test Engineer

Job description

Responsibilities

Test Strategy & Development Develop cost-effective and high-efficiency test solutions for GaN power discretes, high-voltage GaN FETs, bidirectional switches, and other power semiconductor products, ensuring robust test coverage, optimized test time, high production yield, and low cost of test. 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

Experience

5–12+ years in semiconductor test engineering (depending on degree: BS or MS). Hands-on experience with wafer sort and final test. Programming background in C++, VBA, or similar languages

Technical Skills

Proficiency with ATE instrumentation and platforms (discrete test systems and mixed-signal testers, e.g., Acco STS8300). Solid understanding of wide bandgap semiconductors (e.g., GaN). Experience with power and analog test methodologies. Familiarity with semiconductor fabrications, assembly, and packaging processes. Soft Skills Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally. Ability to organize, analyze, and present technical information clearly.
