About the role

Test Technician role supporting Starlink silicon assembly and IC packaging with responsibilities spanning wafer-level probing, RF testing, ATE operation, data logging, and cross-functional collaboration in a cleanroom environment.

Responsibilities

  • Perform wafer-level probing and testing using DC/RF probe stations, parametric analyzers, and vector network analyzers (VNAs) to measure I-V characteristics, capacitance, RF insertion loss, and return loss on individual dies
  • Set up and operate RF package test stations, including test sockets, handlers, and vector network analyzers (VNAs), to execute parametric, functional, and high-frequency tests such as S-parameter sweeps, gain measurements, and noise figure evaluations
  • Load and unload packaged devices into automated test equipment (ATE), following recipes to run sort tests, binning, and data collection for yield tracking and performance grading
  • Perform basic inspections of test results using software interfaces to identify outliers or failures, generating simple defect reports and flagging issues for engineering review
  • Conduct routine equipment maintenance, such as calibrating RF cables, cleaning fixtures, and verifying probe contacts, to ensure accurate measurements and minimal downtime
  • Log test data, including throughput metrics and SPC charts, using software to support production reporting and defect trend analysis
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to achieve daily test volumes, and assist in simple setup changes or fixture preparations
  • Adhere to cleanroom protocols, ESD safeguards, and safety standards during handling of sensitive RF components

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalency certificate
  • 6+ years of professional experience in a hands-on manufacturing environment OR bachelor's degree in an engineering, math or science discipline
