About the role
Imagine being part of a team that’s redefining the future of mobility—where your ideas don’t just sit in a lab but power next-generation technology. At indie, we are developing cutting-edge semiconductors, photonics, and radar sensors and systems for automotive, industrial, and adjacent markets. Our innovations are at the heart of advanced intelligent sensing and user experience applications, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
If you're passionate about groundbreaking technology and want to make a real impact alongside a fast-paced team that thrives on creativity and collaboration, we’d love to have you on board!
We are looking for a seasoned Analog / Mixed-Signal ATE Test Engineer to own the development, validation, and productization of test solutions for our mixed-signal products, from NPI through sustaining mode. You will be a technical anchor across wafer probe, final test, characterization, and qualification. You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including design, product, and process engineering, to ensure robust test coverage, high yield, and smooth integration into high-volume manufacturing. Your expertise in ATE platforms, silicon debug, and data analysis will directly contribute to product quality, production efficiency, and time-to-market. This is a highly technical and impactful role suited for an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
Responsibilities
- Own the development, validation, and release of test programs for wafer probe and final test on the Advantest V93000 SmarTest 8 platform, with automotive-grade requirements, from NPI through sustaining mode.
- Define state-of-the-art test strategies and test hardware for wafer and final test aligned with automotive requirements.
- Drive DFT/DFM implementation for new products: get involved early in new design features and partner with design and test architects to maximize coverage efficiency and minimize test time.
- Support development of characterization, qualification, probe, and final test solutions, including production and characterization test hardware targeting high test coverage.
- Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation, including handler and load board bring-up, contactor qualification, and tester correlation.
- Define, improve, and validate test methods, procedures, and techniques that can be reused across product lines, including digital and analog test pattern creation, simulation, and tester-dependent vector generation.
- Support test data analysis in collaboration with Product Engineering, Design, and Quality teams.
- Contribute to code development improvements using AI-driven tools, and participate in further development flow improvements.
Requirements
- 8+ years of hands-on analog ATE test engineering experience with a BS in Electrical Engineering, or 5+ years with an MS.
- Deep, production-proven experience on Advantest V93000 / SmarTest 8.
- Strong understanding of analog and mixed-signal design and measurements; exposure to RF designs is a plus.
- Exposure to post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, debug, root cause analysis, product engineering, and foundry interaction.
- Experience driving subcontractors in the development of ATE hardware.
- Strong programming skills for writing and debugging test programs and resolving hardware-related issues: Python for test utilities, data analysis, and automation scripting; Java for SmarTest 8 test method development.
- Strong data analysis skills and attention to detail.
Note on Leveling: We are open to hiring this role anywhere from the Staff to Principal level, depending on your background, scope of ownership, and interview performance. Compensation and title will be calibrated accordingly.
