Hands-on Application Engineer responsible for application development, test program development, customer enablement, and technical support across SLT, Burn-In, HPC, and AI semiconductor test platforms. The role works directly across semiconductor testers, automated handlers, thermal system.
Job responsibilities
- Serve as technical liaison for SLT, Burn-In, HPC, and AI semiconductor test applications.
- Lead hands-on system bring-up, applications development, device integration, characterization, qualification, and production ramp activities.
- Develop and optimize test flows, recipes, configurations, operating parameters, and application methodologies for complex semiconductor devices.
- Integrate and debug complete test-cell solutions across tester hardware, handlers, thermal systems, instrumentation, firmware, software, networking, and test programs.
- Support customer evaluations, proof-of-concepts, demonstrations, benchmarks, technical workshops, and production deployments.
- Work directly with customers to translate device, factory, reliability, throughput, electrical, thermal, and production requirements into test solutions.
- Characterize and improve test time, throughput, yield, repeatability, utilization, availability, power delivery, and thermal performance.
- Develop reusable reference solutions, validation methods, troubleshooting guides, best practices, and application documentation.
- Train regional Applications Engineers, Field Service Engineers, partners and customer engineering teams.
- Provide field and customer feedback to Product Management and R&D to influence future platforms, software, firmware, and system requirements.
- Use automation, scripting, data analytics, and AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate application development, debug, and characterization.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or aN equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of applications engineering, semiconductor test, system integration, product engineering, or related hands- on technical experience.
- Strong experience with one or more of the following: SLT, Burn-In, semiconductor ATE, HPC/AI device test, ActivATC/ActivATE360, Advantest test platforms, test program development, handlers, thermal systems, or high-power test systems.
- Strong system-level troubleshooting skills with the ability to debug across hardware, firmware, software, networking, and DUT execution.
- Experience integrating semiconductor test equipment, physical hardware, instrumentation, device interfaces, handlers, or thermal systems.
- Experience testing GPU, CPU, AI accelerator, server, chiplet, or other high-performance computer devices.
- Working knowledge of Phyton, C/C++, C#, scripting, or comparable automation tools.
- Working knowledge of Windows and/or Linux environments, networking, logs, telemetry, and data analysis.
- Understanding semiconductor production metrics including yield, test time, throughput, utilization, and availability.
- Willingness to work on customer sites to support bring-up
- Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally, sometimes on short notice, to support customer evaluations, system bring-up, production ramps, escalations, and technical workshops.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work directly with customers and global engineering teams.
