Test Engineer - ATE

The team that built the innovative Silicon IP AZ1 Neural Edge that is powering the latest generation of Echo devices is looking for a Senior ATE Engineer to continue to innovate on behalf of our customers. We are a part of Amazon Lab126 that revolutionized reading with our Kindle family of products and re-imagined user experience through Echo and Alexa. We want you to help us build on the success of our first generation of ML accelerator at edge.

Work hard. Have fun. Make history.


Key job responsibilities
As a Test Engineer, you will contribute to new product introduction by supporting first silicon bring-up, production ramp-up, and yield optimization. You will collaborate with OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test) vendors to collaborate in developing ATE test methodologies, board design, and debug strategies to ensure product performance, manufacturability, and cost efficiency. This role requires hands-on debugging on ATE testers, first silicon characterization, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth production readiness.

Key job responsibilities:
First Silicon Debug & Characterization - Execute first silicon bring-up, debug test failures, perform rigorous characterization, and correlate results with SLT.
ATE Debug & Correlation - Develop and debug ATE test programs, bring up code on testers and correlate results with SLT.
Test Development & Optimization - Optimize test methodologies, program flows, and patterns to improve test coverage, reduce test time, and optimize costs.
Yield Analysis & Improvement - Analyze engineering sample data, characterize NPI product performance, debug yield-limiting issues.
Production Readiness & OSAT Execution- Own wafer-sort and final test program deployment, drive early production stages, and support yield and test cost improvements.
Knowledge Transfer & Sustaining Support - Work closely with OSAT sustaining engineers to implement improvements and maintain test stability.
Board Design & Debug - Develop and debug test hardware, including load boards and probe cards, and ensure proper qualification for mass production. Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related field.
Minimum 5years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, including ATE test development, yield analysis.
Hands-on experience in ATE test coding, first silicon debug, PVT characterization, and test time optimization.
Proficiency in ATE test methodologies, including wafer-sort and final test program development.
Experience in board design and debug, including load boards, probe cards, and interface hardware.
Strong skills in statistical ATE data analysis, failure analysis, and root cause identification.
Effective communication skills to collaborate across design, product, and manufacturing teams.
Willingness to travel for onsite support at OSAT locations during silicon bring-up and mass production.
