About The Position

The Lead Test Engineer in ASIC Test Engineering will be responsible for developing production, qualification, and characterization test programs for the Advantest 93k tester. This role involves owning the development process from design kick-off to production release, interfacing with cross-functional Design and DFT teams to create and implement test plans, and assisting with the automation of test pattern development and conversion. The engineer will also design and debug the required device interface boards (DIB), probe cards, and test programs used for device characterization, qualification, and production. Additionally, the role includes developing new test techniques to improve test efficiency and reduce costs, debugging design and process-related yield and performance problems, and optimizing test time and yield of Final Test (FT) and Electrical Wafer Sort Test Programs (EWS). The engineer will work with cross-functional engineering teams in failure analysis and defining corrective actions, and provide lifetime support for test program enhancements to ensure high quality and cost-effective manufacturing throughput.
