Test Engineer (NPI Development)

Test Engineer – NPI Development [Hybrid]
Job Summary
The Test Engineer supports New Product Introduction (NPI) by developing and deploying test solutions for advanced semiconductor products. This role is ideal for experience engineers who are interested in working on cutting‑edge automotive microcontroller and processor technologies within a global R&D environment.
The Test Engineer contributes across the full test development lifecycle—from pre‑silicon planning and simulation through post‑silicon validation to mass production release.
Key Responsibilities
New Product Introduction (NPI) Test Development
Support test development activities for new products from concept through mass production
Participate in test planning aligned with product requirements, quality targets, and manufacturing readiness
Support smooth handover of test solutions from development to high‑volume manufacturing
Pre‑Silicon Test Development
Perform pre‑silicon virtual tester simulations using RTL and GLS
Support emulation and early test coverage evaluation using industry‑standard tools
Collaborate with design and verification teams to identify test requirements and risks early in the development phase
Post‑Silicon & ATE Development
Develop and debug test programs on Automated Test Equipment (ATE) for post‑silicon validation, characterization, and qualification
Support manufacturing release by ensuring test robustness, coverage, and efficiency
Work on industry‑leading ATE platforms such as Teradyne and Advantest
Design‑for‑Test (DFT) & Methodology Improvement
Contribute to Design‑for‑Test (DFT) requirements and test strategy enhancements
Support continuous improvement initiatives for test methodology, automation, and efficiency, including AI‑assisted solutions
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Work closely with Design, Product, Validation, and Manufacturing teams across global sites
Support issue debug, root cause analysis, and corrective actions during validation and production ramp‑up
Communicate test status, risks, and results clearly to stakeholders
Documentation & Reporting
Prepare and maintain test documentation including test plans, simulations, test reports, and release status
Analyze test data and summarize results to support engineering decisions
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field
Fresh graduates or engineers of relevant experience are encouraged to apply.
Strong fundamentals in circuits, semiconductors, and microcontrollers
Basic programming or scripting knowledge (C/C++, Python, Perl, or similar)
Good analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills
Ability to work effectively in a global, cross‑functional team environment
Preferred Qualifications
Internship, project, or academic exposure to IC testing, RTL, verification, or DFT
Familiarity with automated test systems, silicon validation, or characterization activities
Awareness of automotive‑grade quality and reliability requirements
Personal Attributes
Curious mindset with strong interest in semiconductor test and validation
Eager to learn and grow in a technical R&D role
Detail‑oriented and systematic in problem analysis
Proactive, collaborative, and adaptable in a fast‑paced NPI environment
Career Growth
This role provides strong foundations in semiconductor test engineering and NPI execution, with opportunities to grow into Senior Test Engineer, Test Architect, or technical specialist roles within global R&D and manufacturing organizations.
