Test Engineer / Senior Test Engineer
Summary
Design and run automated optical/RF tests for photonic integrated circuits, scripting in Python and operating wafer probers to validate device performance and manufacturability.
Job responsibilities:
- Define and implement die-level and wafer-level test solutions in collaboration with design and product teams.
- Develop production test solutions for PIC components to ensure manufacturability and scalability.
- Develop and execute design verification tests, analyze results, and provide feedback to improve device performance.
- Optimize and standardize test and analysis methodologies to improve repeatability and accuracy.
- Bring up, manage, and operate automated wafer-level test (WLT) probers and chip level handlers for PIC devices, including passive and active optical and RF components.
- Perform routine setup calibrations and ensure quality control throughout the test process.
- Identify and mitigate test challenges to ensure timely, efficient execution of large-scale technical projects.
- Take ownership of collecting high-quality measurement data and preparing measurement reports for optical, electrical, and electro-optical tests.
- Analyze test results, perform Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) studies, troubleshoot issues, and recommend improvements.
- Document test procedures, results, and technical reports to maintain a comprehensive knowledge base.
Job requirement:
- Bachelor's or higher degree in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, or a related field.
- 2–5+ years of experience testing and characterizing photonic or semiconductor devices (fresh graduates with strong academic or project experience in photonics/semiconductor testing are also encouraged to apply).
- Solid technical understanding of, and ability to perform, optical, RF, or electro-optic measurements.
- Strong proficiency in Python programming is required, with hands-on experience building test automation scripts and instrument interfacing/control (e.g., SCPI, VISA, GPIB).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with close attention to detail, diligent note-taking, and precise report writing.
- Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes and photonics principles is a plus.
- Ability to work well in a team environment and participate in cross-functional activities.
- Experience interfacing with or managing foundries or OSATs is a plus.
