About the Role
We are seeking a Hardware Test Engineer to serve as a pivotal connection between all teams at Atomic Semi. In this role, you will apply a scientific approach to assess tools, identify potential issues, and troubleshoot intricate failures across our projects.
This position focuses on testing and applications. Success will be measured by your ability to develop and implement test plans that enhance our tool designs within your first month. By your third month, you should be independently resolving complex challenges related to our positioning tools, and by the sixth month, your contributions will have a broad impact across multiple teams and systems. Our philosophy prioritizes rapid development and testing, aiming for completion in days or weeks instead of months. A portfolio demonstrating your past projects is required for application!
Responsibilities
Lead the comprehensive characterization of tools, establishing metrics for measurement, executing software tests, pushing hardware capabilities, and documenting failures to guide engineering choices.
