Product Test Engineer | Radar

Texas Instruments is seeking a Product Test Engineer for our team. This position offers a great opportunity to work on industry leading Radar mmWave sensor devices, targeted for broad applications in the automotive and industrial markets.  In this role, you will be a contributing member of a cross functional team working on new and innovative DFT (Design-for-Test) techniques to drive low cost test solutions for Complex / Analog IPs for high volume production testing on roadmap ATE test platforms (Advantest, Teradyne).  You will work on cutting edge CMOS process technology nodes, operating at mmWave frequencies (60GHz, 81GHz), targeting a wide breadth of product offerings from high performance and high cost to low power and low cost. 

Responsibilities may include: 

• New product development contributor to new roadmap projects within the RADAR BU product line 

• Collaborate and work in a team environment with Design, Applications, Systems, Program Management, Quality, Planning, Business, and Marketing in all aspects of cost entitlement in order to achieve production release (RTM) on time and at entitlement goals

• Compliance to Galileo phases required for project execution (Assess, Plan, Create,  Verify, & Ramp) 

• Work closely with the Analog Design, Firmware, and Systems teams to integrate digital/analog test measurements on Automated Test Equipment

• Extensive knowledge of statistics and tools to analyze large amounts of characterization data and determine and set production test limits and predict yield data (e.g. Spotfire, Mbayse, etc.)

• Perform evaluation, debug, characterization, and qualification of new roadmap products to ensure they meet the requirement specifications and manufacturing requirements for entitlement RTM

• Work with failure analysis (FA) to determine root cause of any reliability and qualification failures

• Driving and participating in DFT reviews at various design phases, defining requirements for test to enable DFTs for max testability at entitlement test cost

• Actively represent the PE team in all cross functional reviews with Design, DFT, Systems, PM project weekly reviews, and PLM status updates on roadmap discussions and product planning 

• In addition, PEs may be responsible for 'sustaining support,' meaning they work with design, ATD (process technology), manufacturing, test, quality, reliability, and marketing teams to further optimize the manufacturing flow of a given device, targeting to reduce cost or otherwise improve the overall long-term development and profit profile of the device post-release.

Minimum requirements: 

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, ECE, Computer Engineering or related field of study
• 1 years of relevant product engineering experience (Test, DFT, ATE, etc.)
• Solid understanding of analog and digital circuits their operation and analysis 

Preferred qualifications: 

• Production test program and hardware development experience
• ATE experience on V93K or equivalent (J750, VLCT, LTX, iFlex, etc.)
• Knowledge and expertise across core disciplines of PE role; DfT, ATE HW, ATE SW, Characterization, Quality & Reliability, Failure Analysis, & RTM
• Knowledge of digital and analog test methods, high speed interfaces, and RF analog BiST (ORBiT)
• Extensive knowledge of statistics and tools to analyze large amounts of production test data and determine and set accurate tracer projects to improve yield and/or reduce test time (mBayse, SpotFire, TestWare, ParmDB, etc.)
• Proficiency in programming/scripting in C++, Python, PERL
• Revision control tools experience : Subversion, Git
• Ability to work in a team setup comprising of other functional groups 
• Strong time management skills that enable on-time project delivery 
• Demonstrated ability to build strong, influential relationships 
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment 
• Ability to take the initiative and drive for results 
• Strong problem solving, verbal, and written communications skills 
• Ability to multitask between projects and be able to maintain project schedules 
• Experience with integrated circuit and device failure analysis 
• Programming skills for automation
