Semiconductor Test Engineer

Job Purpose:

The Semiconductor Test Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining test processes for semiconductor devices, with a strong focus on high power laser diode products. This role ensures reliable performance verification, smooth production flow, and effective transfer of new designs from R&D into manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain test processes for semiconductor devices, including laser diode chips, bars, arrays, and higher‑level assemblies.
Troubleshoot production line test issues, identify root causes, and implement engineering-driven corrective actions.
Analyze test data to characterize device performance, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement.
Validate and implement design changes, ensuring test readiness, documentation updates, and process stability.
Collaborate with R&D, Product Development, and Manufacturing to support new product introduction (NPI) and ensure seamless test integration.
Optimize test equipment, fixtures, and software, improving throughput, accuracy, and repeatability.
Support yield improvement initiatives by identifying failure modes and recommending process or design enhancements.
Maintain compliance with quality standards, safety requirements, and manufacturing best practices.

Skills & Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related field.
Experience with semiconductor device testing, optoelectronics, or laser diode characterization.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, especially in high‑volume manufacturing environments.
Familiarity with automated test equipment (ATE), data acquisition systems, and statistical analysis tools.
Ability to interpret electrical/optical test data and correlate results to device physics.
Effective communication skills and the ability to work cross functionally.

Preferred Skills

Experience with high power laser diodes or photonics components or discrete semiconductors.
Knowledge of reliability testing, burn in processes, and failure analysis techniques.
Programming experience (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar) for test automation.
Understanding of SPC, DOE, and other process control methodologies.
