Product/Test Engineer

Product/Test Engineer Apogee Semiconductor provides products and technologies for space and other extreme environments. We are focused on making the frontier of space more accessible by bridging the technology gap between commercial and high-reliability technologies at a lower cost. We provide optimized products and infrastructure that give you the best in reliability and value. Our products and services are targeted towards enabling small satellites and large constellations that require high performance, a small form factor and radiation resilience at a lower cost. Working in partnership with state-of-the art semiconductor foundries, Apogee Semiconductor develops radiation hardened processes and components that serve as the foundation for our cutting-edge integrated circuits and IP blocks. As a Product/Test Engineer, you will be responsible for post-silicon product development activities such as production test definition and characterization, product qualification, bench validation, and radiation testing for high-reliability semiconductor products. In addition, you will support product sustaining and support activities including lot level qualification, yield improvement, test program transfers, etc. The position is key contributor for new product development, improving test solutions, and improving yields. What You'll Do: Develop Test and Characterization Plans: Work with design to develop detailed test and characterization plans for new products. Production Test Development: Work with external test engineers to support test hardware and software development, limit setting, and data review. Bench Development: Develop and execute bench validation plans for new products. Build and debug bench setups, automate measurements using Python, collect data and correlate bench results with ATE. Product Qualification: Support formal qualification testing of products for high-reliability and space applications. Coordinate hardware procurement, planning, and data analysis. Radiation Testing: Assist in planning and executing radiation tests (e.g., TID, SEE, NDD) on products intended for space applications. Contribute to designing or procuring necessary test hardware, support test execution, and analyzing and reporting results. Product Sustaining: Support product returns, failure analysis, and product changes. Third-party Support: Support assembly, test, and foundries for new and existing products. Continuous Improvement: Continually seek to improve test methodologies and systems for better accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field. At least 3 years of experience as a semiconductor test engineer or product engineer. Proficiency in ATE test plan definition, HW development, characterization, correlation, GR&R, Cpk analysis, and limit setting. Proficient in PCB design, including schematic capture, and layout. Proficiency in data analysis, with strong skills in applying statistical methods to interpret, visualize, and communicate complex datasets effectively. Ability to learn and leverage new technologies quickly, document and teach others. Willing to take ownership and drive complex tasks as projects. Work independently, with team, vendors, or individuals until completion. Excellent teamwork, communication, and interpersonal skills. Preferred Qualifications: 5+ years of experience as a semiconductor product engineer or test engineer. Experience with high reliability and/or space grade semiconductors. Proficient in Python for bench automation, instrument control, data collection, and data analysis. Familiarity with Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques, to monitor and control manufacturing processes for quality assurance. Benefits: All our positions offer a compensation package that includes equity and robust benefits. Base pay is a single component of Apogee Semiconductor's total rewards package, which may also include equity in the form of incentive stock options, high quality company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance benefits, flexible PTO, and 401(K) retirement. Apogee Semiconductor pay ranges are informed and defined through professional grade salary surveys and compensation data sources. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, and the level and scope of the position.
