Headquartered in Silicon Valley, with operations in California, Texas, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam, we serve leading semiconductor manufacturers and their global supply chain partners.
Our mission is to revolutionize semiconductor wafer testing through innovation and excellence. With over 100 patents and a focus on full‑wafer testing, we provide solutions that combine low cost, high performance, and fast cycle times using cutting‑edge MEMS probe technology. Join our dynamic and growing team as we continue to address the evolving needs of the semiconductor industry.
What is a Probe Card? A probe card is a critical component in semiconductor testing, acting as the interface between automated test equipment and the semiconductor wafer. These assemblies often include complex multi‑layer PCBs with tens of thousands of routed traces and thousands of discrete components, supporting mixed‑signal, high‑speed, RF, and power‑delivery paths. Precision and electrical integrity are essential for accurate wafer‑level testing.
Position Summary The Field Service / Application Engineer provides both on‑site support and application‑level guidance to customers using Translarity probe cards. This role covers support across the California and Texas regions and is responsible for installation, troubleshooting, optimizing test performance, and ensuring smooth integration of Translarity probe cards into customer ATE workflows. The position works closely with sales, engineering, manufacturing, and failure analysis teams to translate field performance into actionable improvements. Frequent travel to Translarity’s Texas support region is required.
Key Responsibilities
Install, bring up, and verify Translarity probe cards at customer facilities.
Provide application engineering support, including test debug, performance optimization, and integration into ATE test flows.
Support field activity in both the California and Texas semiconductor regions.
Diagnose electrical, mechanical, SI/PI, and contact‑related issues; escalate internally as appropriate.
Interpret probe card behavior in the field and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
Collect field performance data and relay structured feedback to design, manufacturing, and quality teams.
Assist sales with technical summaries, field insights, and support for evaluations and demos.
Document service activities, resolutions, and recommendations to improve long‑term reliability.
Provide on‑site and remote training for customer engineering and operations teams.
Participate in internal FA, PCB, design, and assembly reviews to advocate for field learnings.
Travel regularly to Texas and periodically to other domestic/international customer locations.
Qualifications Required
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Direct experience with semiconductor probe cards (installation, debug, field support, or applications work).
3+ years of field service, test engineering, or applications engineering experience.
Ability to read and interpret schematics, mechanical drawings, and PCB documentation.
Hands‑on experience with oscilloscopes, DMMs, LCR meters, microscopes, and ATE equipment.
Strong problem‑solving capability in mixed‑signal, high‑density, or RF environments.
Effective customer‑facing communication skills.
Ability and willingness to travel.
Preferred
Experience with Teradyne, Advantest, or NI ATE platforms.
Understanding of SI/PI fundamentals and high‑speed contact behavior.
Familiarity with SolidWorks or similar CAD tools.
Experience with Cadence Allegro for reviewing PCB stack‑ups and mechanical keep‑outs.
Background in probe card design, applications engineering, test engineering, or failure analysis.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.
