Product & Test Engineering

Chain Reaction, an innovative semiconductor startup, is seeking a talented Board Design Engineer to collaborate closely with our ASIC design team in developing cutting-edge hardware solutions. As a key member of the team, you will take full ownership of the board design process, from concept to production, with a focus on hands-on development in the lab, including bring-up, debugging, and validation. The role offers an opportunity to leverage your expertise in complex Power Delivery Network (PDN) design while addressing thermal challenges and design constraints to ensure seamless ASIC integration. As the company grows, you will have the chance to take on increasing responsibilities in the hardware domain and contribute to impactful, real-world innovations.

We are looking for a highly motivated Product & Test Engineer to join our team and play a key role in the bring-up, test development, and productization of advanced IC products. This position involves close collaboration with design, operations, and manufacturing partners from early design stages through mass production.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with design teams to review DFX architecture and define test requirements
• Develop wafer sort and final test methodologies, including test content creation and program development
• Perform test program coding, pattern conversion, and pre-silicon validation via virtual test simulations
• Support hardware development: load boards, sockets, thermal solutions, and probe cards
• Lead post-silicon test debug and sample delivery to internal and external stakeholders
• Conduct test program characterization and tuning to improve coverage, yield, and quality
• Work with OSATs and support manufacturing ramp-up and production
• Contribute to quality and reliability test planning and execution
  
  

• 8+ Proven experience in bring-up and productization of complex ICs
• Proficiency in C/C++ /VBA scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl) in a Unix environment
• Strong analytical skills and experience in yield/data analysis using tools like JMP
• Familiarity with test platforms such as Teradyne UltraFlex/UltraFlexPlus – a strong advantage
• Experience working with external test and assembly houses (OSATs)
• Knowledge of Verilog and RTL simulations – a plus
• Excellent communication skills, strong ownership, and a proactive, team-oriented mindset
