Description

  • Drive post-silicon bring-up, characterization, qualification, and productization from first silicon through mass production.
  • Develop and optimize wafer sort and final test screening strategies to improve power, performance, yield, quality, and DPPM.
  • Develop, debug, and maintain ATE test programs and screening methodologies for advanced-node ASICs.
  • Define and execute characterization plans across process, voltage, and temperature conditions.
  • Analyze silicon data across CP, FT, Bench, and System platforms to improve correlation and system-level performance.
  • Plan, execute, and analyze DOEs for silicon characterization, yield optimization, and process tuning.
  • Collaborate with system and hardware engineers on ASIC binning methodologies and system optimization strategies.
  • Define and support ATE hardware requirements, including probe cards, sockets, and load boards.
  • Analyze wafer-level and package-level parametric and functional data to identify trends, root causes, and corrective actions.
  • Engage with foundry, OSAT, and external vendors to support bring-up, qualification, yield improvement, and manufacturing execution.
  • Develop KPIs and dashboards to track power, performance, process variation, yield, and product quality metrics.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5–10 years of experience in Product Engineering, Test Engineering, Silicon Validation, or Post-Silicon Engineering in fabless or semiconductor environments.
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing flows including wafer sort (CP), final test (FT), qualification, and high-volume manufacturing.
  • Experience with silicon bring-up, characterization, yield analysis, and product qualification for advanced-node ASICs or SoCs.
  • Experience with ATE platforms such as Advantest 93K or Chroma.
  • Experience developing or debugging ATE test programs and production screening methodologies.
  • Strong statistical data analysis and debugging skills using JMP, Python, or similar analysis frameworks.
  • Experience with DOE planning, silicon correlation, and yield optimization methodologies.
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally across Design, Systems, Firmware, Reliability, Manufacturing, Foundry, and OSAT teams.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to independently drive technical issues to closure.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with a high degree of ownership.
  • Experience with near-threshold operation or low-voltage optimization (preferred).
  • Experience with high-performance computing, AI, networking, or bitcoin mining ASICs (preferred).
  • Understanding of semiconductor device physics, SPICE fundamentals, and FinFET technologies (preferred).
  • Experience with system-level characterization and correlation across ATE, Bench, and deployed systems (preferred).
  • Experience with scripting or automation using Python, Perl, or TCL (preferred).
  • Verbal fluency in Mandarin is a plus.

Benefits

  • Market-based compensation with Canada pay ranges of CAD $125,900 to CAD $188,900.
  • Remote work options.
