Fractile is building silicon, systems and software which will redefine the frontier of AI: running the world’s most advanced models at radically higher speed and lower cost. We have an exceptional team across hardware and software capable of bringing about this change, and we are growing fast to meet demand and deliver our product at scale.

We’re looking for an engineer to develop and deliver production-ready manufacturing test solutions for an advanced AI accelerator chip. This role is a hands-on individual contributor position focused on ATE test program development, silicon bring-up, debug, and optimization across digital logic, memory, and high-speed interfaces. Work under the direction of the Semiconductor Test Engineering Lead and collaborate closely with design, DFT, product engineering, and external test partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain ATE test programs for an AI accelerator chip targeting high-volume manufacturing.
• Implement manufacturing test content for advanced CMOS designs including high-speed logic, SRAM, DRAM, and high speed IO blocks.
• Develop and debug structural and functional test content such as scan/ATPG, LBIST, MBIST, JTAG, and HSIO tests.
• Bring up first silicon on ATE, including pattern debug, tester correlation, shmooing, and corner analysis.
• Support testing of high-speed interfaces such as PCIe Gen6 and multi-GHz LPDDR, including at-speed tests and margining features.
• Execute silicon characterization and failure analysis to identify yield limiters and defect mechanisms.
• Optimize test coverage, test time, and cost while maintaining manufacturing robustness.
• Work with DFT and design teams to improve testability and close coverage gaps.
• Collaborate with OSATs and external partners on test program execution and debug under guidance from the test lead.
• Support advanced packaging test flows, including die-to-die interconnect testing and package-level thermal considerations.
• Contribute to documentation of test programs, debug procedures, and manufacturing release materials.
• Support qualification, reliability testing, and high-volume manufacturing ramp.

Required Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electronics and Electrical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on semiconductor test engineering experience.
• Strong experience developing ATE test programs (Advantest 93K, Teradyne, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of DFT methodologies (scan, ATPG, MBIST, LBIST) and memory test techniques.
• Experience debugging silicon issues at the tester and correlating failures to design or process causes.
• Familiarity with advanced CMOS nodes and production test challenges.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience testing AI accelerators, GPUs, networking ASICs, or other high-performance compute ICs.
• Experience with PCIe Gen5/Gen6, LPDDR4/5/6, or other high-speed interfaces.
• Exposure to advanced packaging, chiplets, or multi-die test flows.
• Experience improving yield, reducing test time, or optimizing cost in high-volume manufacturing.
