Senior Test Engineer - Gan-Ic – Pavia, Italy

Pavia EUR 50.000 - 70.000 Job ID: 2077 City: Pavia Introduction: Energy is the backbone of human civilization. We use it in every action and a million ways, from making toast at breakfast to relaxing to music or TV to unwind at night. But we are seeing the world starting to show strain from this high level of energy use and production. Rising sea levels and climate change have posed an existential threat to humanity's gains in the last few centuries. At Efficient Power Conversion Corp, we are focused on building technology that reduces the power used by every appliance and piece of electronics everyone relies on to live in the modern world. We do this not by improving the electronics but by improving how power gets delivered to them. Roughly 1/3 of power is wasted between the wall socket and the chips in a computer. We aim to cut that in half and then cut it in half again. We are opening a new IC Development Center in Pavia – Italy, to design products to achieve these goals. If you want to be part of a nascent development center building up a new semiconductor development center from scratch while joining the pioneers in GaN technology and taking firsthand ownership in shaping your workplace, then join us in this mission to help keep the world a cooler place. Job Description: As Senior Test Development Engineer, you are involved in the entire project lifecycle and act as a quality gate that every EPC IC product must pass. We will be counting on your support to improve our test methodology continuously. You will be responsible for developing and implementing test solutions for our advanced semiconductor products, bringing new devices from the early design stage to mass production. It is an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and contribute to the success of our organization. Your Responsibilities: Contribute to the definition of test development flow leveraging current best practices available in the company. Plan, run, and coordinate test projects ensuring time-to-market schedule performance, guaranteeing result interpretation, data analysis, and documentation. Analyze internal and customer requirements and perform feasibility studies. Define, develop, and optimize production test programs and hardware for automated testing on state-of-the-art ATE (Automated Test Equipment) in close cooperation with the IC design & characterization team, technology development team, and product engineering. Own the complete test solution and related test transfer processes at subcontractors and reliability labs, work on installation, correlation, and production release of test programs, data handling, interpretation of test results, interface to product engineering, and optimization of test package stability. Define innovative and GaN-IC’s tailored test strategies and methodologies while developing an in-depth knowledge of the GaN-IC technology capabilities and related challenges. Develop and share knowledge, networking with other experts in the company, mentoring and coaching colleagues and students. Your Profile: Being a result-oriented person with a strong problem-solving mindset, open to challenges, and able to work in an unstructured and transforming environment, you aspire to achieve outstanding results with passion, remaining focused on solutions even in complex situations.
