Location: Ipoh, Perak

Our Team:

Our Product and Test Engineering team develops the test solutions that qualify every product Semtech ships, working across the full portfolio — optical interconnect, protection, sensing, power and wireless. Supporting multiple business lines means unusual technical range: the characterization problem for a 1.6T optical driver looks nothing like the one for a MEMS force sensor, and you'll see both. Within the Asia Hub, our team spans Taiwan, Malaysia, and Vietnam, supporting LoRa, SIP, AMW/FHS, and ISC products from first silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing.

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Test Engineer to support our test development and optimization activities. The Senior Test Engineer will work closely with the test engineering team to develop test solutions, analyze test data, and contribute to improving test efficiency and coverage.

  • Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
