Job Description
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide lowlatency highspeed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
Come work at Amazon!
As Senior RF ATE Engineer you will engage with an experienced crossdisciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will also work closely with 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 developing production test solution bringing up highvolume production sustainment and Return Material Authorization (RMA) debugging of mmwave RFICs for Project Kuiper custom silicon. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in highvolume production test methodologies silicon RF debugging and a proactive approach to resolving manufacturing challenges. 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
Collaborate with design and process engineering teams to implement and optimize test programs for mmwave SystemonChips (SoCs) on ATE platforms such as Teradyne and Advantest and ensure seamless integration into highvolume manufacturing environments.
Work with lab bench mmwave test systems to correlate bench and ATE results.
Monitor and analyze production test data to identify trends yield issues and opportunities for test time optimization.
Own the optimization standardization and improvement of test methodologies to enhance operational efficiency in production ensure product quality and minimize cost.
Provide technical support to manufacturing and subcontractor teams to resolve testrelated issues promptly.
Lead the investigation and analysis of returned materials identifying root causes of failures through comprehensive electrical and physical failure analysis techniques.
Perform deepdive debug on silicon test boards and ATE set ups to isolate issues related to performance drift yield loss or test escapes.
Collaborate with crossfunctional teams to implement corrective actions and prevent recurrence of identified issues.
Document findings and communicate effectively with stakeholders to ensure transparency and continuous improvement.
