Description:

As Senior Staff Engineer, Factory Board Test, you will be a key technical leader within the Engineering team responsible for defining and driving the board-level test strategy for SiMa's MLSoC™ platform and associated printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). You will architect end-to-end test solutions spanning Design for Testability (DfT), In-Circuit Test (ICT), and functional board test, ensuring robust manufacturing quality and accelerating hardware bring-up. Your work will directly impact product quality, time-to-market, and the long-term testability of SiMa’s embedded edge AI platforms.

Areas of Focus:
Define, implement and maintain comprehensive PCB board test architectures for current functional test strategies. Develop automated test programs and fixtures, drive DfT guidelines with hardware design teams,



and own test coverage analysis from prototype through high-volume manufacturing. Create a roadmap for ICT and DfT for higher volume manufacturing across multiple Contract Manufacturers (CMs).

Key Responsibilities (including but not limited to):
- Board Test Architecture: Define and own the full board test strategy for complex, high-speed PCBAs, including selection and integration of ICT, flying-probe, and functional test methodologies where applicable.
- DfT Collaboration: Partner with PCB layout and digital/analog hardware design teams early in the design cycle to embed testability features: test points, bed-of-nails access planning, and test pad placement rules.
- Functional Board Test: Architect, implement and maintain functional test sequences (FT) executed via bench instruments and/or custom test fixtures to validate power delivery networks, clock domains, memory interfaces, high-speed I/O (PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI), and SoC boot.
