when QUIK has filled all the current job openings we will crack 100.(there about)

Here is the new one, for future reference, ie when its gone..again they are adding another 100 man yrs of experience.

SENIOR STAFF PRODUCT TEST ENGINEER 

Sunnyvale, CA

JOB DESCRIPTION

The staff/senior staff Product Engineer will be a key team member of Product Engineering team, responsible for new product introduction of QuickLogic’s SoC (System on Chip).  The position reports to the Director of Product development and the role holder is expected to define design for test requirements, develop and implement verification and characterization plans, develop and implement qualification plans, as well as work with manufacturing to improve product cost margin and quality. Strong semiconductor product characterization and test background and the ability to collaborate with multiple engineering disciplines at different geographical location worldwide are essential to the success of this position.

Key result areas for this position are: 

• Develop and implement plans for product verification and characterization
• Validate and characterize prototype and corner materials, functions, and datasheet specifications including
• Bring up validation test boards and bench test set-up, design special jigs for characterization, and debug hardware issues
• Develop characterization designs for timing measurements in RTL.
• Develop ATE programs for device verification, characterization, and qualification.
• Provide technical assistance in identifying and resolving customer problems, developing new tests, and improving efficiency and effectiveness of existing tests
• Partner with Design Engineering in defining effective test methodology for all QuickLogic new products during product definition
• Partner with Test Engineering on  ATE test program development, test flow, and knowledge transfer
• Partner with Reliability in defining qualification requirement and execution and with Manufacturing to improve product’s cost and quality
• Ensure new product introduction is successful and on schedule by collaborating with a global cross-functional team

Key Activities/Tasks for these positions are:

• Develop and implement plans for silicon validation and characterization
• Characterize device across PVT to set up maverick limits and datasheet specs
• Develop characterization designs for timing characterization using  Verilog/VHDL
• Design, simulate and convert functional patterns to verify functions on ATE and bench
• Validate functionalities at the component level in a system level environment
• Collaborate and execute qualification plan during new product introduction
• Develop reliability functional tests for HTOL
• Failure analysis of devices in system level and work with various technical leads to identify root cause
• Work with Test Engineering to develop test flow to ensure overall test coverage of new and current products
• Active participant in initial test vector bring up
• Work with Test Engineering on test optimization to minimize test time and assist in identifying and resolving test related activities

QUALIFICATIONS

• BS/MS in Electronics Engineering with 7-10 years of experience in SOC new product introduction.
• Experience in reliability and characterization of semiconductor devices.
• Knowledge of ASIC and FPGA design methodology.
• Knowledge of Verilog/VHDL is a must  
• Knowledge of simulator tool such as ModelSim is a must
• Knowledge of ATE testing and methodology is a must.
• Experience in custom design test methodology, preferably programmable logic devices (PLD or FPGA).
• Knowledge of programming language is a must (C or C++).
• Working knowledge of scripting language like Perl.
• Excellent communication skills, both in written and verbal form.
• Prior experience working with multi-site, multi-cultural teams.

So I was just working on SoC and this new job will be working on that also.  So it will be testing of the current S2 with and ARM M4 above it on one die.
