Staff Test Engineer - Product Development

About the role

Analog Devices' INS ATE Development Sustaining team in Limerick is looking for an experienced Test Engineer. The products in this strategy are integrated high-speed and precision signal chains aimed at automated test equipment (ATE) applications. The engineer designs and develops high-performance test solutions on ATE for first silicon verification, characterization, qualification and manufacturing of precision mixed-signal products, working closely with an experienced development team.

Key responsibilities

• Develop product test solutions for high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.
• Design, develop and debug multi-site, cost-effective test hardware and software for characterization, qualification and production wafer probe and final test.
• Work with design engineers on test methodologies, test plans, test modes, SCAN and IDDQ tests.
• Define test schematics and work with layout engineers on multi-site test PCBs.
• Debug test programs, correlate production test results with engineering bench measurements and transfer production test solutions to offshore, high-volume manufacturing sites.
• Support local and offshore manufacturing to maintain yield and quality, and resolve product and test issues after release.
• Take part in new product development teams and evaluate new test systems for future use.
• Manage project schedules aligned with product introduction and release dates.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree (Master's a plus) in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline such as Electronics Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience analysing and debugging analog and digital circuits.
• Strong knowledge of analog and digital devices; C/C++ and Visual Basic programming are essential, along with scan test experience.
• Ability to design multi-site hardware and software solutions for ATE that minimise test cost and maximise test performance.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; the role requires travel about 10% of the time and is a day shift.

Required skills

• Cadence tools (ALLEGRO); familiarity with Cadence tools is desired.
• Schematic and layout tools such as Orcad and Cadence ALLEGRO.
• Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
• Statistical data analysis in Excel or similar tools, and documentation of test plans and evaluation reports.
• Unix knowledge and bench-top instrumentation experience are recommended.
