Tenstorrent is hiring an ATE Test Development Engineer who can build sophisticated, scalable test solutions on the Advantest V93000 platform using SmartTest 8, custom code, and low-level tester APIs.
You will own the development, debug, datalogging, and optimization of ATE test content for NPI and production, ensuring our devices are thoroughly characterized, efficiently tested, and ready for high-volume manufacturing.

Develop and maintain modular ATE test programs and measurement libraries for NPI and production on the Advantest V93000.
Implement and optimize parametric, functional, scan, BIST, and system-level test flows using tester APIs and custom measurement sequences.
Debug ATE failures and support product engineering with characterization, Vmin/Fmax extraction, guard-band definition, production limits, and correlation to bench, SLT, and validation results.
Build robust datalogging and automation solutions while improving test time, multisite efficiency, measurement stability, yield analysis, and regression testing.

You bring 10+ years of experience in ATE test development, semiconductor test engineering, or post-silicon validation.
You are proficient with Advantest V93000, SmartTest 8, tester APIs, C++ or Java, and Python automation.
You understand ATE instrumentation, including DPS, PMU, RF/HSIO, timing sets, multisite execution, and tester-to-DUT behavior.
You are a structured problem solver with experience in controlled experimentation, root-cause isolation, cross-domain debug, and semiconductor test methodologies.

This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX; Santa Clara, CA; or Fort Collins, CO.
