  • Expertise in test logic design verification and pattern generation.
  • Experience in ATE test program development and bring-up.
  • Hands-on knowledge of industry standard DFT EDA tools.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting languages, such as Python.

Responsibilities

  • Be responsible for all aspects of testing including methodology, logic insertion, verification, and test pattern generation.
  • Find the right tradeoffs between test time and data collection for monitoring next generation process nodes.
