Entry-Level Application Engineer – Semiconductor Test

We are seeking a motivated Entry-Level Application Engineer to join our System Applications Engineering team. This role is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career engineer interested in Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), semiconductor testing, software development, and hands-on electronics.

You will work with experienced engineers to develop, debug, and optimize test solutions using Advantest V93000 and SmarTest 8, while supporting next-generation semiconductor devices and customer applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop and debug semiconductor test solutions on V93000 / SmarTest 8.
• Support test program bring-up, conversion, characterization, and optimization.
• Develop test software using Java and scripting languages.
• Troubleshoot device, test-program, and hardware-interface issues.
• Use bench instruments such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, and power supplies for debug and characterization.
• Analyze test results and support improvements in test coverage and test time.
• Collaborate with engineering teams and customers to resolve technical issues.
• Document test solutions and technical findings.
• Travel up to 20% to customer and company sites.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 0–2 years of experience. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Strong fundamentals in electronics, digital systems, and programming.
• Programming experience in Java, Python, C/C++, or similar languages.
• Basic experience with laboratory test equipment.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and teamwork skills.
• Self-motivated with a strong willingness to learn.

Preferred

• Exposure to V93000 / SmarTest 8 or other ATE platforms.
• Knowledge of IC testing, VLSI, DFT/scan, or semiconductor manufacturing.
• Experience with Java and Python.
• Basic PCB or hardware-interface knowledge.

Ideal Candidate: A hands-on, curious engineer with strong electronics and programming fundamentals who is excited to build expertise in semiconductor ATE test development and V93000/SmarTest 8.
