About this role
Job title: Staff Test Engineer
About the Role As a Staff Test Engineer, you will lead development of Automated Test Equipment (ATE) solutions for highly integrated RF modules. You will ensure performance, reliability, and manufacturability of next‑generation RF products through robust test strategies and deployment to global manufacturing partners. You will collaborate with ATE and RF test equipment vendors to drive roadmaps and integration of new test technologies.
What You'll Do
- Development of RFIC ATE test solutions for NPI and high volume manufacturing.
- Execute test strategies for improvements of yield, test coverage, quality, test platform conversions and test cost.
- Ensure successful and efficient transfer of test solutions to manufacturing sites and subcontractors.
- Act as the interface between internal engineering teams and external vendors.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in EE, CS, Physics, CE or closely related field with 8 years’ experience or MS degree with 6 years’ experience.
- Experience developing high volume package and wafer probe RFIC solutions on ATE platforms.
- Familiarity with semiconductor IC handlers and wafer prober.
- Experience with instruments: power supplies, DC meters, VNA, RF signal generators, RF spectrum analyzer, RF tuners and power meters.
- Knowledge of RF wireless standards (WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE).
- Experience transferring test solutions to offshore manufacturing partners.
- Familiarity with test automation using GPIB, USB, LXI.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience developing test solutions on RF PA, BAW Filters, LNA, Switches, Couplers and Multiplexers.
- Experience with RF ATE Systems such as Cohu RedDragon, NI STS & Advantest 93K.
- PCB design of RF test socket boards and wafer probe cards.
- Programming proficiency in C++, C#, Java, Python.
- Semiconductor IC communication protocols: MIPI, I2C, 3-wire bus, etc.
