Job Description


As a Lead Engineer for ACS RTDI (Real-time Data Infrastructure) integration and deployment within the Advantest V93000 SmarTest8 test environment, you will play a pivotal role in enhancing high-performance SoC testing. You will serve as a technical lead for Southwest region customers, customizing and supporting test automation solutions, data analysis workflows, and system-level diagnostics based on production test needs. Your deep expertise in SmarTest8 Java-based test development will be crucial in accelerating customer adoption of ACS RTDI. This role involves direct collaboration with customers’ engineering teams to resolve complex challenges, design custom toolsets, and support production ramp-up requirements. You will also contribute to product feedback loops, conduct training sessions, and act as a technical project owner during customer POCs and deployments.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead advanced integration and deployment of ACS RTDI within the Advantest V93000 SmarTest8 test environment, focusing on improving high-performance SoC testing.
  • Serve as a technical lead for Southwest region customers by customizing and supporting test automation solutions, data analysis workflows, and system-level diagnostics based on production test needs.
  • Leverage deep expertise in SmarTest8 Java-based test development—including pattern execution, measurement calibration, and test flow optimization—to accelerate customer adoption of ACS RTDI.
  • Collaborate directly with customers’ engineering teams to resolve complex challenges and leverage ACS RTDI to address limitations in existing test program architectures and support production ramp-up requirements.
  • Design and maintain custom toolsets (Python/C++) that interface with ACS RTDI to enable advanced statistical data analysis, correlation, and test result visualization for yield improvement and failure analysis.
  • Support customer-specific enhancements of ACS solutions by contributing to product feedback loops, including RF test methodology, data correlation metrics, and signal chain analysis.
  • Conduct internal and external training on ACS-enabled test optimization workflows, with a focus on test time reduction, measurement de-embedding, and automation across V93K infrastructure.
  • Collaborate closely with 93k RD, ACS R&D, and product teams to provide insight on feature roadmap based on direct experience with SOC test program development and field deployment challenges.
  • Act as technical project owner during customer POCs and deployments, ensuring integration aligns with device characterization and production test requirements.
  • Travel internationally (10–20%) to support onsite evaluation, debug sessions, and joint development workshops.

Qualifications

Preferred Background:

  • Bachelor’s or master’s in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • hands-on experience with Advantest V93000 SmarTest8 in RF and mixed-signal test environments.
  • Strong programming skills in Java, Python, and C++ in Linux-based ATE ecosystems.
  • Familiarity with RF Tx/Rx measurements, front-end calibration, impedance matching, and de-embedding techniques.
  • Proven track record of driving test tool development, production yield enhancement, and test data analytics integration.
  • Ability to independently lead projects and provide deep technical mentorship to both internal and external teams.
