Job Description:

Broadcom is seeking a highly motivated Test Engineer to join our Semiconductor Test Engineering team. This role focuses on development of production, characterization, and qualification test programs to ensure reliable, high-performance products across Broadcom’s portfolio of SoCs and ASICs. You will collaborate with design, product, and quality engineering teams to drive test coverage, optimize test time, and deliver solutions from early silicon bring‑up through high-volume manufacturing.

• Develop, debug, and maintain ATE test programs for production, characterization, and qualification on the Advantest 93K test platform.
• Perform pattern processing and conversion from design environments into tester‑compatible formats.
• Execute silicon characterization and validation across process, voltage, and temperature corners; analyze results to drive yield and performance improvements.
• Work with DFT, design, and product engineering teams to define test requirements, improve test coverage, and close gaps.
• Optimize test flows and methodologies to reduce overall test time and cost while ensuring high quality.
• Drive correlation between simulation, bench, and tester environments.
• Support high-volume manufacturing ramps, addressing test escapes, yield excursions, and test program robustness.

• Required:
  
  BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 8+ years of related experience, or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and 6+ years of related experience.
• Strong knowledge of digital and high‑speed test methodologies, scan/DFT concepts, and pattern processing.
• Hands‑on experience with ATE platforms (Advantest or equivalent).
• Proficiency in scripting/programming languages such as Python or C/C++.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and characterization methods.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

• Experience with SoC, AI accelerators, networking, or high‑speed Ser Des devices.
• Familiarity with tester load board / probe card design, bring‑up, and debug.
• Experience supporting high‑volume production test and manufacturing transfer.

The annual base salary range for this position is $120,000 - $192,000. This position is also eligible for a discretionary annual bonus and equity. Broadcom offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(K) with company match, ESPP, EAP, paid holidays, sick leave, and vacation time. The company follows all applicable laws for paid family leave and other leaves of absence.
