This position offers a great opportunity to work on industry leading processor devices, targeted for broad applications in ADAS and Industrial markets.  In this role, you’ll be a member of a cross-functional team working on new and innovative DfT (Design-for-Test) techniques, to drive low cost test solutions for Complex / Analog IPs, for high volume production testing using Advantest & Teradyne ATE platforms. You’ll work on cutting-edge CMOS process technology nodes 16nm moving to 8nm, targeting a wide breadth of product offerings from high performance and high cost to low power and low cost.

Responsibilities include:

As a member of the Sitara Product & Test Engineering Team, you’ll be required to own, participate, lead, and drive below activities:

·         Primary responsibility will include New Product Development and Bring-up on ATE. 

·         This includes participating in Product DFT/Design Reviews at Pre-PG to outline ATE Test Requirements and enabling max-DFT for reduced cost ATE test solution. 

·         Post-PG responsibilities include Silicon Bring-up, Debug and executing Post-silicon validation activities on ATE as Characterization & Qualification.

·         During these various stages of Post-Silicon validation, you will be required to interact with various cross-functional teams as Program Management, QRE/CQE, Design, and Bench Characterization and Apps development teams

·         Will actively own or be part of a team that owns ATE Test Solutions, including HW design, socket design, Resource Allocation, Board Schematic, Layout, and Diagnostic code. 

·         Will own product from bring-up to RTM and also own all the Product Entitlement goals for MPY, FTY, Test-Cost, and OTCs.

·         Document gaps, lessons learned, and best practices with Design DFT teams to address on future products

·         Having additional knowledge of Analog, Trim, High Speed Interfaces (PCIe, JESD, LVDS, CSI, DSI, QSPI), Power Management, massive multi-site, and/or I/Ps requiring Safety & Security is considered a plus.
