We are seeking a skilled Production Test Engineer to join our team, specializing in high-speed mixed-signal ICs. In this role, you will be responsible for the execution, optimization, and continuous improvement of test processes for high-performance mixed-signal ICs in a high-volume manufacturing environment. You will ensure the devices meet stringent quality standards while working with cross-functional teams to optimize test methodologies, troubleshoot test failures, and improve yield.
The ideal candidate will have experience with Automated Test Equipment (ATE), high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., SerDes), Analog circuit testing (e.g., ADCs, DACs, PLL), and mixed-signal ICs.
עיקרי התפקיד
Test Execution & Monitoring
Execute test plans for high-speed mixed-signal ICs, ensuring all performance criteria are met before production release.
Perform automated testing on ATE platforms (e.g., Teradyne), focusing on both Analog and digital signal integrity, functionality, and power measurements.
Monitor the production line for test performance, ensuring that all ICs meet quality standards before being shipped to customers.
Troubleshoot and identify root causes of test failures in high-speed mixed-signal ICs, collaborating with design and quality teams to resolve issues.
Perform failure analysis on devices that fail initial tests and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence in future production runs.
Work closely with design engineers to refine and debug test programs for both digital and Analog components.
Test Optimization & Process Improvement
Continuously improve test flow, reduce test time, and optimize throughput without compromising quality or test coverage.
Participate in yield enhancement activities, analysing test data to identify patterns and implementing solutions to improve yield and reduce defects.
Automate repetitive test tasks and implement new testing procedures to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
Collaboration & Reporting
Collaborate with design engineers to ensure that the test process is optimized for the manufacturability of mixed-signal ICs.
Provide detailed test reports, including yield data, test results, and analysis of device performance. Share insights and recommendations with senior management to enhance production efficiency.
Test Equipment Management
Maintain and calibrate test equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability, including Automated Test Equipment (ATE), oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators.
Ensure that test hardware is properly set up, configured, and validated for each new device under test (DUT).
Troubleshoot and resolve any issues related to test equipment functionality.
