Description
Join Cisco's Supply Chain Product Operations as part of the dynamic Test Development team, where innovation and collaboration drive the success of optical transceiver products.
As a Wafer Test Development Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality, performance, and manufacturability of optical transceiver products. You will lead test development, validation, and characterization efforts from NPI through production, driving design-for-test decisions and optimizing test coverage.
Responsibilities include:
- Develop, validate, and troubleshoot ATE wafer production testing for optical transceiver products.
- Influence NPI/design process to optimize DFT/DFM, test coverage, calibration, and architecture.
- Monitor and sustain product flow in offshore production manufacturing to meet cost, delivery, and yield targets.
- Analyze characterization, qualification, and production data to set test limits, optimize yield, and improve test efficiency.
- Provide cross-functional support for product debug, failure analysis, and continuous test improvement.
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS Electrical Engineering or similar degree
- At least 7 years of proven experience with semiconductor processes, silicon/optical/photonic wafers, and familiarity with QSFP MSA standards; overseas production experience preferred.
- Hands-on knowledge of ATE platforms (such as Advantest 93k, Tel, Teradyne uFlex, Chroma), automated test programming (Python), and experience with instruments such as optical switches, oscilloscopes, power meters, OSAs.
- Strong understanding of PCB design and review, configuration management systems (Agile/Omnify), and general FAB/semiconductor process fundamentals.
- Proficiency with statistical analysis methods and tools (such as JMP, Data Conductor, DataPower, Power BI), including GR&R, CpK, correlation, and SPC process control.
Preferred Qualifications:
- MS Electrical Engineering or similar degree
- 5+ years relative semiconductor industry experience working with silicon/optical/photonic wafers
- Ability to solve complex problems, influence cross-functional teams, and foster a collaborative, productive working environment.
