Test Engineer – High-Speed Mixed-Signal ATE (V93000) (manual)

Location: Bristol — Semtech Bristol Design Centre (Bradley Stoke, United Kingdom)

Hybrid Working: Monday–Thursday Onsite (Friday Flexible)

Our Team:

At Semtech, our Test Engineering team is responsible for enabling the successful transition of advanced analog and mixed-signal ICs from design into high-volume production.

We operate at the centre of product development, working closely with design, product engineering, and offshore manufacturing partners to ensure silicon is fully characterised, robustly tested, and production-ready. Our engineers develop scalable ATE solutions, optimise test efficiency, and ensure consistent product quality across global manufacturing sites.

This is a highly technical and collaborative environment where engineering insight directly influences product performance, yield, and time-to-market.

We are looking for a Staff Test Engineer to develop, deploy, and optimise semiconductor test solutions using the Advantest V93000 platform.

You will work across wafer and package-level testing, supporting the full product lifecycle from early silicon evaluation through to mass production. This includes test development, characterisation, qualification support, and deployment to offshore OSAT partners.

The role requires close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams and a strong focus on delivering robust, high-quality, and efficient test solutions under demanding project timelines.

• Develop and implement wafer and package-level test solutions on the Advantest V93000 platform, including hardware and software development
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to evaluate new designs and provide structured feedback from ATE results
• Participate in design reviews and support implementation of analog and digital Design for Test (DFT) techniques
• Work with Product Engineering to complete ATE characterisation ensuring IC robustness and test coverage
• Develop reliability and qualification screening solutions to support device life testing and qualification
• Deploy test solutions to offshore OSAT manufacturing sites and support production ramp-up activities
• Lead or participate in periodic test review meetings with project stakeholders
• Optimise existing test solutions to improve yield, reduce test time, and enhance overall manufacturing efficiency
