ABOUT THE ROLE

We are extending the production test and validation capacity of our team in Edinburgh to support our ASIC product development roadmap. This opportunity will allow you to learn valuable skills from experienced engineers across several fields, and to build momentum in a career in ASIC development and test. In the first instance, this role will help you to gain skills and experience in production test, an area of ASIC development that is not widely taught in the UK, but that is in high demand among employers. In the second instance, the site in Edinburgh has teams across analogue, digital, radio frequency, and software design, verification, and validation, offering a lot of potential for future career growth.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work with the ASIC engineering team to build design for testability (DFT) and design for manufacturability (DFM) requirements for efficient production testing that meets automotive quality standards
• Innovate test methods to optimise yield and test time to reduce cost without sacrificing quality
• Understand device technical operation and challenges and apply most appropriate test solution to meet device specification whilst keeping the cost down and not sacrificing due quality
• Develop test program code for multisite production testing and bench characterisation, evaluation and validation testing that meets test engineering industry coding standards
• Participate in test program code reviews to ensure better quality program releases
