SoC Product Characterization Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: SoC Product Characterization Engineer

• Focus: Product characterization, correlation between ATE and hardware, and statistical analysis to improve yield and test efficiency

Description

As a SoC Product Characterization Engineer, you will characterize high-performance, power-efficient processor SoCs across different test setups and correlate results between ATE and other hardware boards. You will analyze data to isolate faults and root causes, evaluate how hardware impacts SoC performance, and help define production screening guard-band specifications and test limits.

Responsibilities

• Perform data analysis, characterization, and fault isolation to resolve root causes of issues

• Perform correlation between ATE and different hardware setups

• Partner with design, process, and test engineers to identify and implement corrective actions on new and mature products and technologies

• Define and finalize production screening guard-band specifications based on design intent and characterization results

• Perform statistical data analysis on mass datasets to set test limits

• Complete yield analyses and correlation analyses for all levels of test insertions

• Support test time reduction related characterization activities

• Coordinate test-related activities and reviews with internal and external groups

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree

• 10+ years of experience

• In-depth knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing process

• Proven understanding of electronic engineering fundamentals and DFT concepts

• Experience in system-level/motherboard characterization and data collection

• Expertise in scripting with Perl and Python

• Knowledgeable with test equipment such as oscilloscope and logic analyzer

Benefits

Opportunity to work on next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor and SoC technologies and help deliver new products.
