Kforce has a client that is seeking a Hardware Test Lead. The role involves developing python APIs for functional test development, performing end-to-end simulation regression, and leading a team to enhance the burn-in test environment for chip reliability and quality.

Computer Software

Responsibilities

Develop python API (Application Programming Interface) for functional test development for Burn-In tests which includes IML(initial Machine load) in Burn-In mode, logic built in test, array built in test run IDLE test for Power and Telum chips for high stress conditions while bypassing PLLs (Phase locked loop)

Develop the python codebase for RBI run time Burn-In tests which includes runtime Burn-In IML, an Active Reliability Monitor with array and logic built in test and array repair with active clocking

Perform End-to-End simulation regression pre silicon using FPGA (field programmable gate array) boards emulating processor chip models for Burn-In tests and RBI tests

Perform design verification for Chip level I/Os such as PCle (Peripheral Component Interconnect) and Memory Bus using MESA simulation environment and by collecting AETs

Perform pre-tests on wafers during wafer bring up for all Burn-In related tests including IML array built in test, and logic built in tests

Use critical thinking to debug tools to determine root cause or issues and develop solutions for them

Perform Burn-In tests on modules to improve shipped product quality level, reliability, and serviceability to P&Z system chips

Debug test issues found during module test bringup

Lead a team to further develop the burn-in test environment to accelerate defects in chips by applying stress conditions such as high temperature and high voltage
