Software Engineer for Electrical Testing

A software engineering position to create dedicated software solutions for semiconductor electrical testing on innovative, state-of-the-art silicon technologies.

What you will do

The Compute and Memory Device (CMD) department focuses on the research and development of nonvolatile memory semiconductor technologies (e.g., STT-MRAM, Ferroelectric, FLASH, etc...), for both embedded and standalone applications. All these technologies call for diverse and dedicated test infrastructures. To further strengthen our operations, we are currently looking for a software developer with confirmed experience in C/C++ and Python development. You will support R&D operations, interacting closely with Characterization researchers and Design&Test support teams, to create project-specific test solutions. 

In detail, you will: 

• Design, create, debug and maintaining new and preexisting software infrastructures for test of semiconductor memories. 
• Contribute to the design and debug of custom test hardware and all associated developments. 
• Work closely with Characterization researchers and Design&Test support teams to develop technology-specific test solutions. 
• Additional responsibilities may also include developing and implementing data postprocessing solutions, as well as devising new methods to reduce test time while maintaining test completeness. 

What we do for you

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.
