Axiado Corporation is seeking an experienced Product Engineer to lead silicon validation, test program development, and productization for our Trusted Control / Compute Unit (TCU) chips. In this role, you will define and execute test and validation strategies from silicon through high-volume manufacturing (HVM), working closely with cross-functional teams and external partners. This position is critical to achieving first-pass silicon success and a smooth HVM transition, while meeting quality, yield, and cost targets.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and execute comprehensive silicon characterization from first silicon through production release, including voltage–frequency–temperature (PVT) characterization, corner testing and production limit setting
- Perform die-level and package-level bring-up and debug activities
- Drive ATE–system correlation to validate test accuracy against system-level specifications.
- Architect robust test flows that balance test time, coverage, yield learning, and cost for complex ASIC designs.
- Develop, release, and productize ATE and SLT manufacturing test programs for wafer sort and final test.
- Support OSAT bring-up and manage test program releases.
- Ensure smooth transition of test programs from engineering into high-volume production.
- Lead yield improvement initiatives using data-driven root cause analysis and statistical methodologies; perform yield and failure Pareto analysis.
- Establish, track, and drive improvement of key quality metrics, including DPPM and test escapes.
- Analyze field return and system-level failure data to identify test coverage gaps and implement improved screening methods.
- Drive test cost reduction initiatives while maintaining high product quality and reliability.
- Collaborate closely with design, system validation, reliability, operations, and manufacturing teams to resolve silicon and test-related issues.
- Manage relationships with ATE vendors, OSAT partners, and foundry partners.
- Lead NPI through HVM execution with multi-vendor qualification across multiple OSAT sites.
