## Description

New Technology/Product Introduction on automotive microprocessors is not a simple task. We will challenge you to bring a flawless new product to market. Customers don't want a product to be late, defective, or low performance. To get high performance parts we must push the limits of the technology and the more you push, the more important the role of the Test Engineer.

The Test Engineer is responsible for the quality of the New Product Introduction via Characterization, Qualification, and Production testing to guarantee a mass producible product. The Test Engineer designs, develops, and implements cost-effective methods of testing, troubleshooting integrated circuits using Automatic Test Equipment (Teradyne/Advantest). They prepare qualification, production test and diagnostic programs, design test fixtures and equipment, and complete specifications and procedures for new products. They perform data analysis techniques, define processing or handling equipment requirements and specifications, and review processing techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and characterization or qualification of products. They debug failing devices to troubleshoot root cause of failure, or fix false fails and improve profits.

If this sounds intimidating, don't worry. We work as a team of engineers in a collaborative environment. We expect all our engineers to work together and learn from each other. We expect you to research the latest techniques as a life-long learner.
