Silicon Product and Test Engineer

Drive post-silicon productization of bitcoin mining ASICs from silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing, including silicon characterization, yield optimization, test strategy development, cross-platform correlation, and system-level performance optimization.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Develop, debug, and maintain ATE test programs 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.
• Drive DOE planning, execution, and analysis.
• Collaborate on ASIC binning and system optimization strategies.
• Define and support ATE hardware requirements.
• Analyze wafer-level and package-level data to identify trends and root causes.
• Engage with foundry, OSAT, and external vendors.
• Develop KPIs and dashboards for power, performance, yield, and quality.

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.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing flows, wafer sort, final test, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing.
• Experience with silicon bring-up, characterization, yield analysis, and product qualification for ASICs or SoCs.
• Experience with Advantest 93K or Chroma ATE platforms.
• Experience developing or debugging ATE test programs and screening methodologies.
• Strong statistical data analysis and debugging skills using JMP, Python, or similar tools.
• Experience with DOE planning, silicon correlation, and yield optimization.
• Cross-functional collaboration experience across design, systems, firmware, reliability, manufacturing, foundry, and OSAT teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills and technical ownership.
• Experience with near-threshold operation or low-voltage optimization.
• Understanding of semiconductor device physics, SPICE fundamentals, and FinFET technologies.
• Experience with system-level characterization and correlation.
• Experience with Python, Perl, or TCL scripting or automation.
