About the role
The team develops custom silicon solutions that power Google's direct-to-consumer products, combining Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create new computing hardware. This is a silicon test engineering role focused on IC product bring-up, verification, and characterization for NPI, including ATE test programs, load boards, and probe cards. The engineer will drive test development and validation for high-speed interfaces such as DDR memory and HSIO IPs, correlate ATE and system-level results, and direct production sustaining activities including yield optimization and test time reduction.
What you will do
- Design, implement, and manage Integrated Circuit (IC) product bring-up, verification, and characterization programs for NPI, including ATE test programs, load boards, and probe cards using ATE platforms such as UFLEX or 93K.
- Drive test development, validation, and characterization for high-speed interfaces including DDR memory and High-Speed I/O (HSIO) IPs, ensuring production screen enabement and low Defective Parts Per Million (DPPM).
- Collaborate with vendors and internal teams to engineer high-volume ATE manufacturing solutions tailored for advanced packaging.
- Execute product and DPPM correlation between ATE and system-level environments for new products, and enhance test coverage and resolve the failure modes via rigorous troubleshooting on ATE and SLT systems.
- Direct production sustaining activities, including program upgrades, yield optimization, test time reduction, lot disposition, and RMA analysis.
Skills used in this role
Preferred qualifications
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Experience with ATE platforms (Teradyne UltraFlex SOC and Advantest 93K) and knowledge of high-speed interfaces (DDR, PCIe, SERDES).
- Proven track record in semiconductor processing, VLSI product/test engineering, with SLT expertise using the Advantest platform.
- Proficiency in DFT methodologies, including memory BIST, JTAG, Scan/ATPG, and testing for PVT and temperature sensors.
- Expertise in Test Time Reduction (TTR) strategies, Gage R&R, DPPM reduction, and statistical yield analysis.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
