Join imec’s
Connectivity Pathfinding (COP) team as an R&D IC Testing Engineer and lead
the end-to-end testing and characterization of cutting-edge system demonstrator
chips, validating tomorrow’s chips with precision and purpose.
In this role, you will be at the forefront of
semiconductor innovation, developing and executing advanced test strategies for
our IC demonstrators. You will collaborate closely with chip designers, system
architects, and integration experts to address complex challenges in signal
integrity, thermal behaviour, and system-level robustness. From setting up
high-speed measurement environments to analysing eye diagrams and S-parameters,
you will own the testing workflow from lab setup to data interpretation and reporting.
Additionally, your work will involve developing Known Good Die (KGD) testing
for heterogeneous packaging technologies, including 2.5D and 3D architectures. Your
work will ensure that imec’s system demonstrators meet the highest standards of
performance, reliability, and integration readiness.
As part of the COP
department, your contributions will directly support imec’s mission to shape
the future of interconnected SoCs, leveraging chiplet-based architectures,
advanced RF integration, and silicon photonics. This is a unique opportunity to
work in a multidisciplinary environment where your expertise in IC testing,
high-speed signal analysis, and scripting (Python, MATLAB) will drive the
development of next-generation semiconductor systems.
We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth.
We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits.
We seek a candidate who thrives in a dynamic work environment, showcasing an adaptability to diverse projects or research topics. You’ll be a key team player, ready to support colleagues and tackle impactful projects within the timelines of our trusted global partners.
