About

I lead Silicon Debug and Test Engineering initiatives, with Design for Testability (DFT) and Automated Test Equipment (ATE). My work connects design and testing processes to deliver efficient, high-quality solutions. I manage First Silicon Bring-Up, Yield Improvement, and New Product Introduction (NPI) processes while optimizing test metrics. I implement Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) and Memory Built-In Self-Test (MBIST) validation methods to improve test coverage. My experience includes silicon characterization using Advantest 93K, Teradyne UltraFlex, and Advantest T5832 platforms. As a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt holder, I develop automated test solutions and optimize processes to advance semiconductor testing capabilities. I build effective teams and welcome collaboration with engineers interested in DFT and ATE innovations.

  • As an NPI Test and Yield Engineer, I specialize in organising the entire ATE testing process, from initial bring-up through to qualification and mass production readiness. In collaboration with OSAT and vendors, I oversee the implementation of DFT and ATE testing strategies, ensuring that these critical processes are effectively outsourced while maintaining rigorous standards of excellence.
  • My role involves a dynamic blend of leadership and technical acumen, where I not only coordinate with external teams but also actively engage in data analysis and test program enhancements. This hands-on approach enables me to drive significant improvements in test time efficiency and yield performance.
