Your primary focus will be on developing efficient test programs, conducting thorough analysis, troubleshooting any issues, and implementing solutions to improve chip performance and yield.

Job description

Test Program Development: Design and develop test programs and methodologies for silicon chips using automated test equipment (ATE) such as wafer sorters and final test;
Test Strategy Planning: Collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to define test requirements, develop test plans and establish test strategies to ensure comprehensive chip testing;
Test Implementation: Implement test programs on ATE platforms, including test pattern generation, debugging, and optimization to meet quality and performance targets;
Data Analysis: Analyze test data and results to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies, and provide recommendations for improving chip performance, yield, and reliability;
Failure Analysis: Investigate and troubleshoot test failures, diagnose root causes, and work with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions to address issues;
Yield Enhancement: Develop and implement yield enhancement strategies and methodologies to maximize silicon chip yield and minimize manufacturing defects;
Documentation and Reporting: Prepare test plans, reports, and documentation to communicate test methodologies, results, and recommendations to stakeholders;
Compliance and Standards: Ensure compliance with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100) in all aspects of silicon chip qualification activities.
