SoC Characterization Product Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: SoC Characterization Product Engineer

• Focus: Data analysis, characterization, ATE-to-hardware correlation, and production screening specifications

Description

You will perform product characterization on different test setups, correlate ATE results with other logic boards, and study the impact of hardware on SoC performance. The role includes data analysis and fault isolation to resolve root causes, defining production screening guard-band specifications, and partnering with design, process, and test engineers to implement corrective actions. You will also support yield analysis, statistical test limit setup, and test time reduction.

Responsibilities

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

• Perform correlation between ATE and different hardware setups.

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

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

• Perform statistical data analysis on mass data sets to set test limits.

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

• Support test time reduction related characterization activities.

• Coordinate test-related activities and reviews with internal teams 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/mother board characterization and data collection

• Expertise in programming with scripting languages (Perl, Python)

• Knowledge of test equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.)

• Board bring-up, hardware design, and PDN noise analysis experience is a plus

Benefits

Opportunity to work on next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor and SoC technology through data-driven characterization and yield/test improvements.
