Application Engineering Manager

We are seeking an Application Engineering Manager to lead a customer-facing systems and application engineering team supporting high-performance compute (HPC), AI, hyperscaler, and advanced digital semiconductor test applications on the Advantest V93000 platform. This role supports customers from technical engagement and test strategy through wafer sort, final test, and high-volume manufacturing ramp. The ideal candidate brings strong ATE expertise, leadership experience, and the ability to drive customer success for complex SoC, AI accelerator, CPU/GPU, networking, and data-center devices.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead and develop a team of application and systems engineers supporting V93000 test solutions for HPC, AI, hyperscaler, and advanced digital customers.
• Drive customer engagements from requirements definition, benchmarks, and bring-up through production release, wafer sort, final test, and HVM ramp.
• Guide test strategy, program development, debug, characterization, validation, correlation, and optimization using V93000 and SmarTest workflows.
• Partner with customers and internal teams to improve time-to-volume, production quality, yield, test time, and cost of test.
• Support advanced test needs including multisite test, high-speed digital interfaces, scan/DFT, memory interfaces, power, thermal, and production hardware readiness.
• Lead technical escalations, root-cause analysis, and cross-functional resolution of production ramp or customer support issues.
• Promote automation, AI-enabled engineering workflows, data-driven debug, and knowledge capture to improve engineering productivity and customer outcomes.
