Key ResponsibilitiesBlock 1: Foundational Learning & Exploration
Learn semiconductor manufacturing fundamentals and the end-to-end product flow from wafer fabrication through electrical testing
Understand the role of test engineering in ensuring product quality, reliability, and customer requirements
Learn cleanroom and lab safety standards, protocols, and factory operations basics
Gain exposure to test flow concepts, test limits/specifications, and basic test metrics
Become familiar with MES, data systems, and engineering workflows used in manufacturing and test operations
Job shadow Test Engineers to understand daily operational support, monitoring, and problem-solving activities
Block 2: Test Data Analysis & Problem Solving
Support monitoring of test performance using key indicators (e.g., yield, bin trends, parametric shifts, and fallout signatures)
Perform data analysis to identify trends, anomalies, and potential test or product issues
Apply statistical methods (e.g., SPC) to detect excursions and support process stability
Assist with basic troubleshooting of test-related issues (e.g., correlation checks, limit reviews, retest investigations)
Support documentation of findings and communication of results to cross-functional stakeholders
Block 3 & Final Year Project (FYP): Engineer‑in‑Training Development
Define FYP scope, objectives, and deliverables with an assigned industrial mentor
Execute an FYP focused on test improvement, test data analytics, yield enhancement, or stability optimization
Conduct structured studies (and where applicable, DOE / A-B comparisons) to validate improvement ideas
Develop recommendations to improve test robustness, reduce test escapes, improve yield, or optimize test efficiency
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives supporting cost, quality, productivity, or cycle time
Complete the FYP under guidance of an assigned industrial mentor
