Summary of role:

GlobalFoundries (GF) is seeking a senior level, self-driven professional with proven expertise to develop leading-edge test solutions for GaN integrated circuit designs in the growing Automotive Electric Vehicles (EVs), consumer and high-power markets using next-generation GF proprietary wide bandgap (WBG) technologies. The successful candidate shall be recognized by their peers as a technical leader in this area and demonstrate the ability to develop novel, cost-effective test solutions and to provide strategic leadership to advance an established world-class test engineering team.

Key Roles and Responsibilities:

• Establish and implement the test strategy aligned with GaN and other high-power technology requirements, including industry test criteria standardization and the selection of an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) platform that supports both device characterization and scalability to high-volume production.
• Lead customer interactions to drive comprehensive, cost-effective test strategy aligned with anticipated product qualification, zero-defectivity and high-volume requirements.
• Build and lead test development capability and scale capacity by identifying required skills to be obtained by either organic and/or inorganic growth.
• Technical program manager for engagement with GF internal and client design teams to define technology qualification vehicles, including safety-critical reliability criteria, and product final test requirements; to design hardware consisting of probe cards & probe interface boards capable to meet GaN RF and Power applications.
• Drive collaboration across internal functional teams and 3rd party OSAT to bring development solutions to high-volume manufacturing (HVM) and to drive continued yield improvements.
• Full-time position at GF state-of-the-art Test Labs in Essex Junction, VT with some level of remote work flexibility.
• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Other Responsibilities:

Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering or Physics.
• 8+ years\' experience in power management, precision analog and mixed signal test development for high-power characterization & qualification of WGB (GaN-HEMT) based technologies.
• 8+ years\' expertise in developing highly parallel, DC & AC solutions for GaN-based products built on market leaders ATE platforms - e.g. Crea/Advantest or Teradyne ETS.
• 8+ PCB board design with emphasis on high-power, low inductance and multi-site techniques.
• Advanced understanding of WBG (GaN-HEMT) semiconductor technologies, related circuit design applications, required characterization criteria, critical figure of merits for cost-effective production test coverage.
• Proven experience in hands-on engineering with excellence in debugging skills.
