As Senior RF ATE Engineer you will engage with an experienced crossdisciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will work closely with an internal interdisciplinary team and thirdparty suppliers to drive key aspects of product definition and optimization. You must be responsive flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.
Youll be responsible for RFIC highvolume production test methodology of mmwave RFICs for Project Kuiper custom silicon. Youll be part of the team that creates a chip and system test infrastructure and methodology applicable to transmit and receive communication systems.
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder) or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key job responsibilities
Write test plans and test programs for mmwave SoCs tested on Teradyne and Advantest equipment.
Review device specifications collaborate with the design team to apply design for test principles to ensure product manufacturability.
Define load board socket and probe card designs for best layout practices and possible signal / power integrity issues.
Architect highvolume test solutions across DUT firmware and tester software to optimize total test cost.
Actively identify test related readiness issues and optimizations throughout the product lifecycle and work towards expedient resolutions.
Own the optimization standardization and improvement of test methodologies to enhance operational efficiency in production ensure product quality and minimize cost.
Work with lab bench mmwave test systems to correlate bench and ATE results.
Define test plans and limits for production lots corners lots and pre/postqualification lots.
Develop and transfer to volume production RF and highspeed digital die probing techniques to improve accuracy of identifying good dice and improve yield.
Interact with suppliers such as foundries and OSATs to complete engineering programs for wafer test final test and qualification.
