ESD Test Design Engineer

REPORTS TO: Technical Director ROLE OVERVIEW: To design, develop, implement and analyse ESD, Latch up and TLP tests that will fulfil customer order commitments in a timely, accurate fashion, in line with business vision. BUSINESS VISION: To continue developing the services as a centre of excellence for semiconductor device analysis so all customers can obtain rapid, accurate and comprehensive test results for characterisation, qualification and control. Key Responsibilities Design for Test, Test Program Development, Testing and Order Fulfilment Interpret and re-organise semiconductor device pinlist data and package outline drawings to construct test programs for ESD, Latch up and TLP testing as needed, liaising with the customer as necessary to clarify the testing requirement. Design any hardware needed for the implementation of ESD, Latch up and TLP testing, such as specialist power supplies or test fixture PCBs. Develop automated test programs for ESD, Latch up and TLP testing that will fulfil customer requirements, ensuring any powered up tests are run with the device in a stable state. Create and implement I-V curve tracing programs for ESD and Latch up testing as needed, ensuring the curves are stable before the stress tests commence. Conduct ESD, Latch Up and TLP testing in accordance with the relevant procedures, observing policies for the safe handling of devices under test at all times. Discuss initial test results with the customer to agree next steps, especially where deviations occur from expected results. Once testing is complete prepare and upload summary test reports and detailed test results data for download by and discussion/analysis with the customer. Make recommendations for additional testing that will help to debug results for the customer and provide further insight for device re-spin revisions. Periodically attend ESD committee meetings on behalf of the company to ensure testing standards evolve and always remain aligned with our business mod
