We are hiring an Applications Engineer to support semiconductor device testing using Automated Test Equipment (ATE) in a production environment. This role focuses on silicon debug, yield analysis, and test program support, working closely with engineering and test operations teams to resolve issues and improve performance.

You will work hands‑on with ATE systems (e.g., Teradyne, Advantest, or similar), building on your existing experience while expanding your exposure to customer programs and production environments.

Location:

Santa Clara, CA (Onsite). Relocation assistance is not provided for this role; candidates should be able to commute to the work location.

• Debug test failures on ATE systems
• Analyze wafer sort and final test data to identify yield trends and issues
• Support test program debug, correlation (bench vs ATE), and optimization
• Partner with test floor teams to troubleshoot production issues
• Contribute to device qualification and production readiness efforts
• Develop and execute test plans with engineering and operations teams
• Perform data analysis using tools such as Excel, JMP, Python, or similar
• Document results and communicate clearly with internal teams and customers
• Manage multiple priorities and escalate risks as needed

This position may require access to information subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Applicants must be U.S. Persons as defined by ITAR (e.g., U.S. Citizen, U.S. Permanent Resident, or otherwise authorized under ITAR regulations).

This role does not provide employment-based visa sponsorship.

Qualifications and expectations for this role include:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years of demonstrated experience in semiconductor device testing, typically gained through professional experience, internships, or hands‑on training in ATE or related environments

• Experience working with semiconductor ATE platforms (e.g., Teradyne, Advantest, or similar), or ability to quickly learn comparable systems
• Exposure to wafer sort and/or final test environments
• Ability to troubleshoot test failures, yield or performance issues, and correlation between test environments
• Experience analyzing data using spreadsheets, statistical tools, or scripting
• Familiarity with digital, analog, or mixed‑signal device testing concepts
• Experience using lab equipment (oscilloscope, DMM) in support of device characterization and debug
• Experience with test program development or debug, scripting (Python, C/C++, or similar), yield improvement or production ramp activities, and exposure to project…
