عن الوظيفة
As one of the technology industry's most desirable employers, NVIDIA is an industry leader in high-performance computing, gaming and AI. NVIDIA's GPUs are extraordinary in performance and efficiency, and we are continually innovating in creative ways to deliver outstanding solutions in a wide range of sectors.
This is a Test Engineer position supporting the Integrated Circuit Defect Analysis (FA) team. The engineer will enable tailored test equipment and software for the Advantest PS5000 and the Teradyne UltraFLEXPlus (UF+) platforms, while working closely with the product TE team and be embedded in the FA team. You will bridge the gap between design, automated test equipment (ATE), and IC failure analysis. You are responsible for co-developing specialized test equipment, adapting FA methodologies, and crafting test scripts that enable diagnostics and root-cause isolation on advanced, high-performance silicon.
What you’ll be doing:
Port and develop test vectors, patterns, and software on the Advantest V93000 system, specifically the PS5000 module, as well as Teradyne UltraFLEXplus platforms.
Convert design simulation data (e.g., VCD, EVCD, STIL) into functional, scan, and structural test patterns to recreate IC failures on the tester.
Partner with FA engineers, design teams, and test floor technicians to translate physical FA steps like ATE-assisted EMMI or OBIRCH into reproducible, electrical test flows.
Improve turnaround time from device failure to root cause by optimizing tester hardware bandwidth, signal integrity, and diagnostic software flows.
Design, prototype, and validate custom test hardware (e.g., specialized load boards, probe cards, and device-under-test (DUT) interfaces) for FA setups.
What we need to see:
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of hands-on experience with Advantest V93000 (PS5000) (SmarTEST 8 environment) and Teradyne UltraFLEXplus (IG-XL software).
Proficiency with script automation (Python, C++, or Perl) and digital vector processing/debug.
Familiarity with IC FA flows, failure isolation, electrical fault localization, and yield analysis.
