Our rockstar team thrives on solving complex challenges with innovative end-user solutions for the world's top consumer brands. Cirrus Logic is also known for its award-winning culture, which was built on a foundation of inclusion and fairness, meaningful community engagement, and delivering enjoyable employee experiences at every turn. But we couldn’t do it without our extraordinary workforce – and that’s where you come in. Join our team and help us continue to make Cirrus Logic an exceptional place to grow your career!

We’re looking for a hands-on Sustaining Product Test Engineer to improve the speed, cost, and reliability of high-volume production test for our mixed-signal products. You’ll own production test after product release, from reducing test time and preparing ATE hardware for offshore manufacturing to improving tester ports, probe cards, and load boards. You’ll also support characterization and qualification as silicon revisions are introduced.

This role is a fit for an engineer who enjoys solving problems at the bench and on the tester, understands production test hardware, and wants to make a measurable impact on yield, cost, and throughput.

What You'll Do

• Drive test time reduction (TTR) to increase throughput and lower cost of test.
• Own ATE tester ports or provide final technical sign-off on ports prepared by offshore teams.
• Check out probe cards, PIBs, and load boards from manufacturing and prepare them for offshore production.
• Improve or redesign ATE hardware to increase site count, reduce test time, and improve testability.
• Investigate production yield, correlation, and hardware issues through root-cause analysis at the bench and on the tester.
• Collect characterization data and support qualification across silicon revisions.
• Partner with design, product, and quality engineering teams to resolve production issues and customer returns.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 4–10 years of relevant experience.
• Effective hands-on hardware debugging skills, including the ability to read schematics and use bench instruments.
• Solid understanding of ATE hardware, including probe cards, load boards, relays, connectors, and signal paths.
• Experience with high-volume production test, including hardware release and yield improvement.
• Broad understanding of circuit blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, amplifiers, charge pumps, and temperature sensors.
• Familiarity with digital protocols such as I2C, SPI, I2S, and TDM.
• Experience with data and yield analysis tools such as JMP and Excel.
• Effective communication skills and experience working with remote teams.

Helpful Experience

• Experience with Teradyne UltraFlex or UltraFlexPLUS platforms.
• Demonstrated results in test time reduction, site-count increases, or tester-port development.
• Experience with ATE board schematic design and PCB layout review.
• Experience with Python or similar scripting languages for test automation and data analysis.
• Familiarity with OTP, flash, and other non-volatile memory testing.
