Semiconductor Test Engineering Team Leader

Responsibilities

• Drive the manufacturing test strategy for an AI accelerator chip featuring PCIe Gen6, LPDDR, and advanced CMOS nodes
• Lead and manage a team of chip test engineers responsible for test planning, program development, and silicon characterization
• Manage subcontracted test development partners including OSATs and ATE vendors
• Define test software architecture, DFT usage, and test pattern development strategies
• Oversee test development for high-speed interfaces such as PCIe Gen6 and multi-GHz LPDDR
• Lead silicon bring-up on ATE, including failure analysis, shmooing, and yield improvement
• Ensure robust test flows for advanced packaging like 2.5D/3D and chiplets

Requirements

• 8+ years in semiconductor test engineering with leadership experience
• Deep experience with ATE test development (e.g., Advantest 93K, Teradyne)
• Strong understanding of DFT (scan, ATPG, LBIST, MBIST) and memory testing
• Experience managing external test development partners or OSATs
• Proven ability to lead and mentor engineering teams
• Solid background in advanced CMOS nodes and silicon debug

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI/ML accelerator chips or high-performance compute ICs
• Prior involvement with PCIe Gen5/Gen6 or LPDDR4/5/6 test methodologies
• Familiarity with signal-integrity-aware test development
• Experience with chiplets, 2.5D/3D IC test flows, or heterogeneous integration
