Senior Post Silicon Ate Test Engineer Job in Intel Corporation

Job Title: Senior ATE Test Engineer Manufacturing & Product Engineering

Job Description:

Intel is seeking a Senior ATE Test Engineer to drive the testability and manufacturability of integrated circuits from feasibility to high-volume production (HVM). The role involves developing and validating test methodologies, debugging functionality and performance issues, and optimizing test processes for yield and cost efficiency. The engineer will work closely with design, process development, fab, assembly, and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless production ramp-up and quality assurance.

Key Responsibilities:

Test Development & Debugging:

• Design, develop, and validate testability circuits and test flows for new products.
• Debug functionality and performance issues to root cause using Automatic Test Equipment (ATE).
• Interface with design, DFx (Design for Test, Debug, Manufacturing), and product teams to drive test development.

Manufacturability & High-Volume Ramp (HVM):

• Collaborate with fab, assembly, test factories, and quality/reliability teams to enable smooth production ramp-up.
• Perform ATE device characterization, define datasheet specifications, and conduct yield analysis.
• Analyze early customer returns and drive test hole closure activities to enhance quality and reliability.

Production Test Optimization:

• Drive test time reduction by analyzing fallout data and balancing product cost optimizations.
• Implement bin split and die-level cherry-pick (DLCP) strategies to optimize product supply.
• Ensure manufacturability through process and spec corner analysis to resolve yield issues before mass production.

Hardware & Software Development:

• Develop and debug complex software programs for test conversion and test automation.
• Create and validate test hardware solutions for production testing.
• Optimize component production relative to quality and cost constraints.

Qualifications & Experience:

Educational Requirements:

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science, Electrical, or Electronics Engineering or related fields.

Technical Expertise:

ATE Test Engineering:

• Strong expertise in Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) development and debug.

DFT & Test Methodologies:

• Knowledge of DFT architectures and methodologies including Analog DFT, JTAG, etc.
• Understanding of test engineering processes and tester debugging techniques.

Debugging & Validation:

• Hands-on experience with design/validation and advanced debugging skills.
• Expertise in Advantest 93K, Teradyne Ultraflex, J750, and related test platforms.

Manufacturing Process & Yield Analysis:

• Experience in yield analysis, bin splitting, and test time optimization.
• Ability to analyze process corners and drive manufacturing readiness.

Soft Skills:

• Excellent problem-solving skills, teamwork, and communication.
• Strong interpersonal and planning skills for cross-functional collaboration.
