About the role

ESD and Latch-up Test Engineer responsible for planning, developing, and executing qualification tests for ESD and latch-up on GPU and Tegra products, collaborating with vendors, and maintaining test infrastructure and data.

Responsibilities

  • Plan and perform ESD and Latch-up qualification for new and updated products.
  • Develop HBM, CDM, Latch Up I-test, and supply overvoltage stress programs in accordance with JEDEC/AEC standards.
  • Collaborate with external vendors to compose, build, and validate ESD and LU test fixtures, including test boards, test sockets, and thermal plungers.
  • Conduct ESD and latch-up characterization on test chips incorporating new I/O interfaces and ESD protection structures.
  • Provide regular test status updates to internal engineering and program teams.
  • Debug marginal or failing pins, and work closely with Failure Analysis, Design, and Product teams to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
  • Maintain, resolve problems in, and calibrate in-house test equipment, including ESD HBM testers, latch-up testers, CDM testers, 2-pin testers, and TLP testers.
  • Update and maintain internal ESD and latch-up databases, documentation, and online resources.

Qualifications

  • Familiarity of JEDEC and AEC standards related to ESD and latch-up qualification.
  • Practical experience working with MK4 and Orion testers during the development of ESD and Latch-up stress programs.
  • Solid knowledge of CMOS I/O circuits and ESD protection structures.
  • Proficiency in analyzing IC electrical test data and interpreting qualification results.
  • Experience debugging ESD or latch-up failures at the pin, circuit, or product level.
  • Familiarity with semiconductor reliability qualification flows.
  • Experience coordinating with external test vendors and internal multi-functional engineering teams.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to summarize technical findings clearly and drive issues to closure.
  • Some experience with 93K tester program development.
  • 5+ years of related experience, with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent experience.
