  • Knowledgeable in ATE test flows, DFT, and device physics.
  • Proficient in statistical data analysis using JMP software or other tools.
  • Strong interpersonal communication skills and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Ability to define and drive problems to closure independently with minimal supervision.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the latest architecture designs to market.
  • Implement chip probing test processes to improve manufacturing efficiency.
  • Identify and resolve yield bottlenecks and analyze test failures.
  • Propose DOEs and develop solutions to complex characterization problems.
  • Lead cross-functional efforts to root-cause and solve technical problems.
