SRI International’s Microcircuit Emulation Center (formerly Sarnoff Corporation) is looking for Analog Test Engineers to support the manufacturing of microcircuits (integrated circuits). Through SRI's Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program, the Microcircuit Emulation Center supplies form, fit, function, and interface replacements for obsolete microcircuits. Look at our work! This capability supports production, redesign, and sustainment requirements for the life of a weapon system. SRI’s Microcircuit Emulation Center is a government-supported, U.S.-based Trusted foundry. These roles will be based 100% on site at our Princeton, NJ facility.

• Define, document, and implement methods to perform accurate and efficient characterization and Mil-Spec electrical screening of Analog microcircuits (i.e. amplifiers, linear/LDO voltage regulators, PLLs, DAC, ADC, etc).
• Develop specialized test approaches and programs to resolve problems, particularly in the areas of automated testing of Analog devices and high speed signal measurements (i.e. instrumentation, fixturing issues, etc).
• Maintain and improve existing methods for the testing and measurement of microcircuits using ATE and related equipment; interact directly with the technical staff of test equipment suppliers to address and resolve equipment or software related issues that may arise.
• Interact directly with the end-users or responsible program managers to review testing results and address test related issues.
• Provide recommendations to management on test technology trends and anticipated Emulation program test requirements.
• Assist in training of test engineers in the area of Analog testing

• Must have hands-on capability/experience in the measurement of Analog microcircuit characteristics using both manual/bench instrumentation.
• Working experience with automated, computer-controlled measurement systems (ATE) is desired; if direct ATE experience is lacking, must have demonstrated ability in relevant programming languages (i.e. C, C++, LabView, etc).
• Experience working on both Unix/Linux workstation and PC (Windows) environments.
• Ability to interpret semiconductor related test documentation (i.e. military device specifications and standards documentation, commercial data sheets, application notes, etc) in order to complete characterization and screening tasks.
• Bachelors in Electrical/Computer Engineering, with 4+ years relevant work experience in Analog testing.  In lieu of a degree, 8 years minimum experience in a related field.
• Due to Government requirements, US Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required.
• Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate with others.
• Demonstrate ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• The flexibility/ability to support future work schedules that may require working on alternating weekends to support business needs.
