[Hiring] Test Engineer @Ciklum

Role Description

Ciklum is looking for a Test Engineer to join our team full-time in Ukraine. As a Test Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow. Our Client is an Israeli technology company that develops 4D imaging radar chipsets and perception solutions for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AV).

Your expertise will span across Digital, Mixed-Signal, and RF domains, ensuring our ICs meet the highest standards of quality and performance before reaching the customer.

Responsibilities:

• Test Hardware Development: Design and oversee the fabrication of complex Load Boards (DIBs) and Probe Cards, including PCB schematic capture and layout review to ensure signal integrity for high-speed digital and RF paths.
• Test Program Development: Create, debug, and maintain automated test equipment (ATE) programs (e.g., Advantest V93K, Teradyne UltraFLEX) for wafer sort and final test.
• Mixed-Signal & RF Testing: Develop characterization and production test plans for ADCs, DACs, PLLs, and RF components (LNA, PA, Mixers).
• Silicon Validation: Collaborate with Design and Validation teams to correlate ATE results with bench measurements and design simulations.
• Yield Optimization: Analyze large datasets using statistical tools (JMP, Spotfire) to identify yield detractors, perform root-cause analysis, and implement test time reduction (TTR) strategies.
• DFT (Design for Test): Provide feedback to the design team on DFT features such as Scan, BIST (Built-In Self-Test), and Loopback modes to improve test coverage and observability.

Qualifications

• Education: BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Technical Experience: 5+ years of experience in IC testing, specifically focusing on Mixed-Signal and RF products.
• ATE Proficiency: Hands-on experience with industry-standard ATE platforms (Advantest, Teradyne, or Cohu).
• Programming: Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or Perl for test script automation and data analysis.
• RF Fundamentals: Deep understanding of RF parameters such as S-parameters, NF (Noise Figure), IIP3, EVM, and Phase Noise.
• Hardware Skills: Experience with lab equipment including Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, and Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs).

Requirements

• Experience with high-volume manufacturing (HVM) environments and offshore OSAT management.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to solve complex problems under tight deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills to bridge the gap between Design, Product, and Operations teams.
• Advantage: Knowledge of automotive test standards (AEC-Q100) or aerospace reliability requirements.

Benefits

• Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment.
• Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise.
• Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications.
• Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies.
• Flexibility: Enjoy radical flexibility – work remotely or from an office, your choice.
• Care: We’ve got you covered with company-paid medical insurance, mental health support, and financial & legal consultations.
