• Experience building test program and HVM floor engineering support/management.
  
• Experience working with vendors.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in wafer probe card, ATE hardware, and managing suppliers on execution of test hardware development and bring-up.
  
• Experience in test engineering, DFT, test hardware, and test program development (e.g., Teradyne UltraFlex, Advantest 93k platforms).
  
• Experience in programming/scripting (e.g., C and C++, Python, or Perl).
  
• Knowledge of probability and statistical fundamentals for data analysis and process control design.
  

About the job

As a Silicon Operation Engineering Manager, you will build High Quality Test programs and take it to HVM (High Volume Manufacturing). You will define, lead, and track our products operation covering HVM, NPI, ATE Test and Characterization, System level Testing, Yield improvements processes. You will deliver products in the fabless semiconductor model with deep knowledge covering the full manufacturing flow including High volume production, fab, test, DFT, package assembly, and qualification.

In this role, you will be managing a team that is responsible for developing test programs and hardware for wafer probe and the ATE (Automated Testing Equipment) for characterization and production testing of very high performance networking and machine learning ICs. You will need to be able to utilize the ATE equipment tools and capabilities to optimize final test programs without compromising the quality of outgoing products. You will also be responsible for developing test plans and supporting the full life cycle of the product from design to volume manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Be responsible for Silicon product Engineering Activities including New Product Introduction (NPI), System Level testing, and HVM (including Yields analysis and Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)/Failure Analysis (FA)).
• Lead a team to develop silicon product test hardware and software, silicon data analytics, and system level testing.
• Build up HVM test engineering supply chain with the necessary tracking, managing, and Yield/Quality correlation analysis to optimize cost.
• Develop a robust NPI team across all regions to facilitate the execution of multiple products. Prioritize the creation of a systematic NPI Test Program strategy that includes clear definition, efficient execution, and ongoing refinement.
• Build and track high performance IC test and characterization flows for PVT, signal and power integrity characterization, and participate in silicon debug, Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA), and Physical Failure Analysis (PFA).
