Job Description

Axiado Corporation is seeking a Silicon Test Engineer with strong expertise in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and System-Level Testing (SLT) to join our team. In this role, you will drive New Product Introduction (NPI) from early silicon bring-up through mass production, collaborating with a global, cross-functional team spanning design, test, foundry, and reliability. This position requires both deep technical capability and strong execution skills to successfully deliver across multiple concurrent programs.

Responsibilities

• Develop, debug, and optimize ATE and SLT test programs for silicon validation and production.
• Work closely with design, product, and validation teams to define and implement comprehensive test requirements.
• Analyze test data to improve yield, performance, and reliability.
• Develop and maintain test patterns and test methodologies for different device types.
• Support JTAG, scan, boundary scan, MBIST and other digital/analog test interfaces.
• Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to ensure robust test coverage and effective failure debug.
• Automate test data collection, analysis, and reporting to improve efficiency and scalability.
• Provide failure analysis and debug support for both production and engineering samples.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) and drive continuous improvement in test coverage, test time, and overall test efficiency.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of industry experience in semiconductor test engineering.
• Hands-on experience with ATE platforms (e.g., Advantest).
• Experience with System-Level Testing (SLT), functional testing, and system-level debug.
• Proficiency in programming and scripting for test development (e.g., Python, C/C++, or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of semiconductor test methodologies, test coverage, and data analysis.
• Familiarity with JTAG, boundary scan, and protocols such as I2C, SPI, eMMC, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, and similar interfaces.
• Experience in failure analysis, yield improvement, and test optimization.
• Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with data visualization tools for test analysis.
• Working knowledge of Confluence and JIRA.
