Job Description
Come join the fast-paced and ever innovative area of Test Chip manufacturing and validation under the Design Engineering Group at Intel! We work on the latest IPs and process nodes across Intel’s portfolio.
As a Product Development Engineer for Testchip Post-Si execution your responsibilities will include but not limited to:
Driving and developing testability and manufacturability of analog and/or RF integrated circuits from the component feasibility stage through production ramp. Contributing to design, development, and validation of testability circuits through evaluation, development, and debug of complex test methods.
Developing and debugging complex software programs to convert design validation flows and drive complex test equipment, including the development of digital signal processing, BERTS/Scopes, and automatic test equipment (ATE) for testing analog performance.
Collaborating with designers to drive design for test (DFT) features enabling efficient production testing of new products and requirements for design validation (DV) to ensure performance to internal and industry specifications. Works with the design and/or product development team to perform ATEtoDV correlation, debug functionality and performance issues, perform circuit characterization, and design spec validation.
Evaluating new analog IP designs on ATE and works with the design, DFx, and product development teams to debug functionality and performance issues to root cause.
Performing ATE and bench device characterization, utilizes that data to define datasheet specifications, and performs margin2spec analysis to project yield and PHI concerns.
Releasing efficient production test solutions that ensure product quality and performance.
Engaging with manufacturing to monitor and optimize production yield and resolves any postrelease concerns.
Testing and characterizing for power and thermals, including thermal profiling and recipe tuning for production thermal control.
Providing tailored trimming and calibration for power delivery and/or thermal sensing circuits to each individual die and provides building blocks for power and performance binning and improvement.
Reviewing test plans with design, conversion of presilicon content to patterns, and additional content development as needed, reviews HVM data with design to identify and rootcause issues.
