• \tConvert test patterns from the DFT team into tester-suitable formats (e.g. ATP).

• \tRun test vectors on test platforms and optimize tester and vector parameters to ensure timing and repeatability.

• \tWork with ASIC design teams ensure the test equipment and processes required for production meet Amazon standards for high-volume manufacturing.

• \tReview load board, socket, and probe card designs and simulation results for best layout practices and possible signal / power integrity issues.

• \tOptimize equalization settings for 30+ Gpbs SERDES running on ATE platforms.

• \tActively identify test related readiness, issues, and optimizations throughout the product lifecycle and work towards expedient resolutions.

• \tAssist in qualification activities such as burn-in board design, HTOL, ESD, etc.

• \tConduct failure analysis and drive issue resolutions as well as close potential test gaps and correlations issues throughout the supply and manufacturing chains.
