Silicon System Level Test Engineer

Job descriptionAs a Sr. SLT (System Level Test) engineer, this role will be responsible for building SLT  program to enable HVM shipment of our Silicon.

Responsibilities

• Test Development & Execution
• - Develop SLT test programs, scripts, and automation for new products.
• - Design and implement test hardware (board, socket, ATC) and fixture solutions for SLT platforms.
• - Integrate system boards, peripherals, and interface cards for test setups.
• Product Characterization
• - Characterize device performance at system level across operating conditions and temperatures.
• - Debug test failures to determine root cause—distinguishing between product, test setup, and software issues.
• - Conduct ATE to SLT correlation to implement voltage guardbands.
• Process & Quality Improvement
• - Collaborate with DFT, validation, and product engineering teams to improve test coverage and efficiency.
• - Optimize test time and throughput for high-volume manufacturing.
• - Support yield analysis, test data correlation, and defect screening strategies.
• Manufacturing Support
• - Transfer SLT solutions from engineering to production.
• - Train manufacturing test operators and technicians.
• - Provide on-site and remote support to resolve production test issues.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• 8-10 years of experience in semiconductor SLT, validation, or ATE test engineering.
• Strong knowledge of system-level hardware architecture (CPU, memory, I/O, power).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, or similar) for test automation.
• Hands-on experience with SLT platforms (e.g., HonTech / Chroma, Advantest Etc.).
• Experience in debugging hardware/software interface issues.
• Understanding of manufacturing test flows and yield analysis.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in technical subject area.
