We are seeking a senior ATE Software Engineer to design, build, and deploy our next-generation automated manufacturing test platform for advanced telecom, high-density switching, and optical networking hardware.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between R&D hardware/firmware teams and high-volume manufacturing lines. You will take ownership of ingesting, refactoring, and consolidating disparate R&D scripts, diagnostic tools, and legacy software into a single, scalable, production-grade test platform.
We expect you to leverage modern AI-assisted development tools and workflows to maximize engineering efficiency, accelerate delivery timelines, and build highly robust, self-healing test automation. You will deploy test stations across global Contract Manufacturers (EMS/ODM), actively stabilize production lines through bring-up and ramp-up, and drive continuous test maintenance and root-cause failure analysis (RCA).
Key Responsibilities
Test Platform Architecture & Software Development:
Design, develop, and productize robust, modular test software frameworks for board-level (PCBA) and system-level manufacturing testing across multiple product lines and manufacturing sites.
Codebase Unification & Refactoring:
Consolidate and standardize R&D diagnostic libraries, silicon validation scripts, and firmware tools developed across various environments (Python, C# / Visual Studio, VB, ATEasy, Linux) into a unified, maintainable test execution engine.
AI-Accelerated Development & Workflow Automation:
Actively integrate Generative AI tools and AI coding agents into your daily workflow to accelerate code conversion/refactoring, automate test case synthesis, generate edge-case validation scripts, and enhance overall codebase resilience.
Production Line Deployment & Stabilization:
Deploy test stations and fixtures to local and overseas EMS/CM production lines. Monitor, debug, and fine-tune test execution during NPI and ramp-up phases until yield, takt time, and test stability targets (CPK / First Pass Yield) are achieved.
Failure Investigation & Intelligent RCA:
Investigate complex system-level and component-level test failures. Utilize advanced log analysis, structured telemetry, and pattern recognition to drive root-cause investigations and implement preventive software/hardware fixes.
Ongoing Test Maintenance & Optimization:
Provide continuous operational Production line support and maintenance, bug fixes, software updates, and station cycle-time optimizations for active mass-production lines.
R&D Collaboration & Test Specification:
Collaborate closely with Hardware, Firmware, and Validation teams during early design phases to define test specifications, drive Design for Testability,
Documentation & Technical Reporting:
Author and maintain comprehensive testing documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), test coverage matrices, and detailed failure analysis reports.
Requirements: B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of hands-on experience in ATE software development and production test engineering for complex telecom, networking, or optical hardware products.
Advanced, everyday practical mastery of AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLM-based coding agents, automated prompt-driven refactoring) to radically accelerate code delivery, debug legacy systems, and enforce code quality.
Strong software engineering skills in Python and Linux environments.
Practical experience with test development in C# (.NET / Visual Studio), VB, or specialized test sequencers such as ATEasy.
Proven track record of deploying, commissioning, and stabilizing ATE test benches at overseas tier-1 EMS/CM facilities.
Strong grasp of digital and communication protocols (PCIe, I2C, SPI, MDIO, UART, Ethernet) and familiarity with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, high-speed traffic generators).
This position is open to all candidates.
