Job Description
About the Role
We are seeking a highly capable Applications Engineer to support and advance Velocity-based EDA-to-ATE conversion flows for leading semiconductor customers worldwide.
This role focuses on implementing and optimizing automated test conversion flows spanning design, DFT, simulation, and production ATE environments. The engineer will work directly with customer engineering teams, DFT architects, and internal Velocity developers to deploy advanced automation methodologies that accelerate First-Time-Right Silicon and reduce Time-to-Market.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with semiconductor test conversion environments including Velocity, Test Insight, VTRAN, and/or TSSI, along with strong understanding of
DFT, STIL/WGL
formats, and ATE production workflows. As the industry moves toward AI-assisted engineering automation, this role will also leverage AI-driven productivity tools and intelligent automation frameworks to improve conversion quality, debug efficiency, and deployment scalability. Key Responsibilities Deploy and support Velocity EDA-to-ATE conversion flows for strategic semiconductor customers- Develop and optimize automated conversion methodologies for STIL, WGL, EVCD, IJTAG, and SSN environments
