Product Development Engineer

Job Description

Drives and develops testability and manufacturability of integrated circuits from the component feasibility stage through production ramp. Contributes to design, development, and validation of testability circuits, test flows, and methodologies for new products through evaluation, development, and debug of complex test methods. Interfaces with process development, fab, factory, assembly, quality and reliability, and manufacturing groups to enable postsilicon HVM ramp. Evaluates new designs on automatic test equipment (ATE) and works with the design, DFx, and product development teams to debug functionality and performance issues to root cause. Performs ATE device characterization, utilizes that data to define datasheet specifications and performs yield analysis. Collaborates with designers to drive design for test/debug/manufacturing (DFT/DFD/DFM) features enabling efficient production testing of new products. Develops and debugs complex software programs to convert design validation vectors and drive complex test equipment. Creates and tests validation and production test hardware solutions. Tests, validates, modifies, and redesigns circuits to guarantee component margin to specification. Analyzes and evaluates component specification versus performance to ensure optimal match of component requirements with production equipment capability with specific emphasis on yield analysis and bin split capability. Ensures manufacturability over process and product design through thorough analysis of process and spec corners and works with design to resolve yield issues before manufacturing ramp. Drives test time reduction through analysis of fallout data versus test time for various IPs to balance and drive overall product cost optimizations. Analyzes early customer returns with emphasis on driving test hole closure activities. Creates and applies concepts for optimizing component production relative to both quality and cost constraints. Leads and drives manufacturing readiness from fab, assembly, and test factory to support engineering sample and customer sample generation (ES milestones), wafer start planning, product qual execution strategy and capacity analysis, and assembly and test site certification activities. Works with fab, assembly, and test factory partners and planners to support production ramp. May also manage execution of new product introductions in the fab, fab process targeting, product/process optimizations, and participate in factory task forces to bring product perspective and respond to product issues. Optimizes product supply through data analysis of postsilicon binsplit, die level cherry pick (DLCP), and optimize sort/test content and yield downstream through data analysis.

Qualifications

Responsibilities: In this position, you will be responsible for Intel products (Server/SOC/ASIC) test development. Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to: - Collaborating with design and product development engineers to deliver Design-for-Test (DFT) solutions. - Participating in DFT development like DFT architecture definition and test plans definition. - Responsible for Verilog and/or VHDL test bench creation and/or debug, test writing, Register Transfer Level (RTL) simulation, Gate Level Simulation (GLS), analog simulation, performance validation, VTPSim (Verilog test pattern simulator), silicon debug on tester (or on other platform like system level). - Developing highly optimized test vectors by using state-of-the-art vector conversion tool and methods. - Developing, integrating, and optimizing test program through characterization and other techniques. - Developing or designing test hardware (for example test interface unit/load board).- Managing silicon debug to check out all the structural and functional tests. - Qualifying new products and performing detailed test program analysis to ensure product startup with low Defect per Million (DPM), low test time, good yield and meeting other product health indicators before passing over to factory product engineering group for high volume manufacturing. Qualifications: - Master in Electrical, Electronics, Microelectronics or Computer Engineering; - Good written and spoken English. - Familiar with Digital Circuits and Analog Electronic Circuits. - Good software skills in programming (C, C#, Python, or PERL etc.)
