The posting
Join Broadcom’s Global Operations team supporting the Core Switching Group as an ATE Test Development Engineer! In this high-impact role, you will shape the future of next-generation networking switches powering Scale-Up, Scale-Out, and Scale-Across architectures for AI and traditional cloud data centers. Based at our R&D innovation hubs in Irvine, CA or San Jose, CA, you will tackle groundbreaking engineering milestones, working hands-on with state-of-the-art Teradyne UltraFlex test platforms and cutting-edge silicon technology.
Responsibilities
- Next-Gen Test Development: Architect and bring up advanced ATE test programs for flagship networking switch ICs featuring high-speed SERDES (>100G) and cutting-edge multi-die CoWoS advanced packaging.
- Advanced Hardware Engineering: Lead the hardware strategy for final test and wafer probe, partnering with top-tier PCB designers, socket vendors, and probe card suppliers to push performance limits.
- Hands-On Silicon Debug: Drive direct, hands-on debug on ATE, conquering complex electrical, mechanical, and extreme thermal challenges as chip power approaches unprecedented 10,000W thresholds.
- Advanced Packaging & Thermal Innovation: Solve novel mechanical and structural test challenges introduced by massive die sizes and multi-die CoWoS package integration.
- Program Optimization & Yield Enhancement: Optimize test flows and reduce test time to improve yield and manufacturing efficiency while ensuring uncompromising quality.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with world-class Product, Design, and Packaging Engineers to bring complex silicon from concept to high-volume production.
- Global Production Deployment: Collaborate seamlessly with manufacturing teams across Asia to release and support robust production test programs.
