The Role:
As Senior Silicon ATE Test Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative product solutions. You will work closely with an internal inter-disciplinary team, and third party suppliers to drive key aspects of product definition, execution and optimization. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.

You’ll be responsible for high-volume production test methodology for custom SoCs for Project Kuiper. You’ll be part of the team that creates a chip and system test infrastructure and methodology applicable to transmit and receive communication systems.

In this role you will:
 Write test plans and test programs for SoCs tested on Teradyne and Advantest equipment.
 Convert test patterns from the DFT team into tester-suitable formats (e.g. ATP).
 Run test vectors on test platforms and optimize tester and vector parameters to ensure timing and repeatability.
 Work with ASIC design teams ensure the test equipment and processes required for production meet Amazon standards for high-volume manufacturing.
 Review load board, socket, and probe card designs and simulation results for best layout practices and possible signal / power integrity issues.
 Optimize equalization settings for 30+ Gpbs SERDES running on ATE platforms.
 Actively identify test related readiness, issues, and optimizations throughout the product lifecycle and work towards expedient resolutions.
 Assist in qualification activities such as burn-in board design, HTOL, ESD, etc.
 Conduct failure analysis and drive issue resolutions as well as close potential test gaps and correlations issues throughout the supply and manufacturing chains.
