We are looking for a Senior NPI Test Engineer to join our San Diego team as the senior technical contributor on a growing group of test engineers. This role is a key position: you will own full NPI test programs from design-for-test planning through production release, working across both our high-speed communications and capacitive sensing product lines.
Requirements
- Own end-to-end test development for complex mixed-signal products, from DFT/testability requirements through characterization, qualification, and production release.
- Develop and debug test programs on the Advantest V93000 platform (SmarTest 7/8) for signal integrity products, including high-speed SerDes, CDRs, and transimpedance amplifiers.
- Support capacitive sensing product test development on the Teradyne uFlex platform, including capacitive sensing, force/haptics, and related analog product lines.
- Design test hardware (load boards, probe interfaces) and coordinate fabrication timelines to align with silicon tape-out schedules.
- Set up and operate ATE equipment and probers, troubleshoot hardware issues in the lab, and generate product files for production—this is a hands-on role, not purely a desk job.
- Partner with IC design teams during the design phase to define DFT hooks, internal monitors, and testability requirements that enable fast, reliable production testing.
- Represent test engineering in architecture reviews, gate meetings, and test readiness reviews across both Signal Integrity and Capacitive Sensing business units.
- Collaborate with product engineering on characterization strategies, correlation methodologies, and customer-facing test specifications.
- Ensure seamless transfer of test solutions to OSATs and production sites, targeting first-pass success rates above 99%.
- Serve as the senior technical resource on the San Diego test team, mentoring early-career engineers and building the next generation of test leaders.
- Create reusable test IP, libraries, and documentation that accelerate NPI cycles across product families.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives targeting reductions in test time, cost, and NPI cycle time.
