Senior Semiconductor Test Engineer (AI)

Location: Austin, TX; hybrid

Company

Develops AI inference processors based on analog compute-in-memory architecture.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end production test strategy across Wafer Sort, Final Package Test, characterization, screening, and volume ramp.
• Develop, debug, release, optimize, and sustain test programs and infrastructure for new silicon products.
• Define test methodology, coverage strategy, screening philosophy, release criteria, and tradeoffs across coverage, cost, test time, quality, and ramp schedule.
• Lead silicon bring-up, characterization, correlation, guardbanding, and test transfer into manufacturing.
• Analyze yield and quality data, identify systematic failures and escapes, and drive root-cause resolution.
• Work with OSATs, foundries, ATE vendors, design, DFT, product engineering, reliability, and manufacturing teams.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, product engineering, or production test development.
• Hands-on ownership of Wafer Sort and Final Package Test.
• Experience developing, debugging, and releasing production test programs on ATE platforms.
• Experience converting and translating STIL, WGL, and VCD test patterns into ATE-specific formats.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing test flows, device screening, test coverage, guardbanding, and outgoing quality.
• Experience taking silicon through bring-up, characterization, yield ramp, and production release.
• Strong debug skills and fluency with manufacturing test data.
• Experience collaborating with design, DFT, product, reliability, and operations teams.

Nice to have

• Experience testing mixed-signal or analog silicon, including trim and calibration.
• Experience with AI, accelerator, or high-performance compute silicon.
• Experience with Advantest, Teradyne, or similar ATE platforms.
• Experience with probe cards, load boards, hardware interfaces, and test hardware debug.
• Experience with DFT structures such as scan, MBIST, and boundary scan.
• Experience managing OSATs and other external manufacturing partners.
• Experience with scripting, automation, and test-data analysis, including Python, JMP, or yield-analysis tools.
• A track record of reducing test time and improving yield and correlation during ramp.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative and respectful work environment.
• Tools and support to deliver meaningful work.
• Values professionalism, creativity, integrity, and inclusion.
• Wide range of experiences and perspectives across the team.
