The charter of ADI's Custom Silicon & Consumer Solutions (CSS) team is to lead the market across a range of exciting technology domains with highly differentiated sensing & signal processing and Power solutions. Today these technology areas include Capacitive Sensing, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Optical Sensing, Audio, PMIC and hybrid mixed-signal/power developments which drive major growth in our portable Consumer business. With a goal to deliver sustainable growth, the CSS group will present the successful candidate with a great opportunity for continuous career development as part of a highly motivated and supportive team.

The group is seeking an experienced Test Development Engineer to join our European team, based in Limerick, Ireland. The candidate must be self-motivated, willing to learn exciting new technologies and develop new products, but also be able to provide strong Test technical leadership and work effectively within a talented group of individuals across multiple development locations.

The successful candidate will work closely with an extensive new product development team as part of a multi-Engineer Test team, assuming responsibility for the development of innovative high performance mass production ready hardware and software (including pre-silicon verification in Design Simulation and FPGA environments) for our leading-edge product portfolio, with a keen focus on cost optimization. The role also opens opportunities to undertake technical mentorship along with project Test technical lead positions, engaging directly with our Tier 1 Customers.

Role and Responsibilities:

• DFT definition & development to improve testability, quality and reduce cost.
• Pre-silicon verification of Test solutions in Design Simulation and FPGA environments.
• Design of innovative, reliable and efficient multi-site Test solutions on high performance mixed signal ATE platforms.
• Execution of the Test development phase including Silicon functionality and debug, ATE Characterization, solution optimization and Offshore Production release.
• Support the fast ramp of ultra hi-volume new products.
• Interface with a broad range of groups such as Assembly, Reliability & FA, H/W technology etc.
• With CSS peers and the wider Test Development community, drive for continuous advancement of measurement methodologies through improvement initiatives.

Relevant Skills:

• Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering.
• 10+ years of Test Development experience in the Mixed Signal and/or Power domain, including Test development team leadership.
• Strong ATE program development skills (Teradyne and/or SPEA platforms ideally).
• Strong mentorship and technical leadership skills along with inter-personal and communication skills.
• In depth knowledge of Analogue and Digital Electronics.
• Knowledge of mixed signal PCB design and associated CAD/Simulation tools.
• Be self-motivated, willing to take on responsibility, and show initiative in identifying and solving challenging technical problems.
• Strong analytical skills with a proven track record for solving complex problems via planning, debug, data analysis and reporting.
