ATE Test Engineer
NVIDIA, US, CA, Santa Clara
The role
This is a Test Engineer position supporting the Integrated Circuit Defect Analysis (FA) team. The engineer will enable tailored test equipment and software for the Advantest PS5000 and the Teradyne UltraFLEXPlus (UF+) platforms, while working closely with the product TE team and be embedded in the FA team. You will bridge the gap between design, automated test equipment (ATE), and IC failure analysis. You are responsible for co-developing specialized test equipment, adapting FA methodologies, and crafting test scripts that enable diagnostics and root-cause isolation on advanced, high-performance silicon.
What you will do
- Port and develop test vectors, patterns, and software on the Advantest V93000 system, specifically the PS5000 module, as well as Teradyne UltraFLEXplus platforms.
- Convert design simulation data (e.g., VCD, EVCD, STIL) into functional, scan, and structural test patterns to recreate IC failures on the tester.
- Partner with FA engineers, design teams, and test floor technicians to translate physical FA steps like ATE-assisted EMMI or OBIRCH into reproducible, electrical test flows.
