Job Description

This role is for a Product Engineer responsible for the development, qualification, and lifecycle management of transceiver products. It involves collaborating with design, process, test, and reliability teams to ensure robust product performance, manufacturability, and customer satisfaction. Key activities include leading product engineering from NPI/NTI to mass production, driving characterization and qualification, analyzing test data, supporting yield enhancement, and resolving product issues.

Good To Have:

Capability to use Exensio Yield.
Knowledge of reliability standards (e.g., JEDEC, AEC-Q100) and failure analysis techniques.
Basic knowledge of ATE Test programs.
Experience with 93K/Pinscale Test systems.
Knowledge of C/C++/Java/Python programming.

Must Have:

Lead product engineering activities for ICs from NPI, NTI and technology transfers to mass production.
Drive product characterization, qualification (e.g., AEC-Q100), and reliability testing.
Analyze electrical test data (CP, FT, HTOL, etc.) to identify trends, outliers, and improvement opportunities.
Support yield enhancement, root cause analysis, and corrective actions for product issues.
Qualify products, optimize cost, and ensure quality.
Resolve test and product related issues, facilitating cross-functional problem-solving.
Perform device characterization and evaluation for continuous improvement activities.
Use statistical analysis tools to identify root causes of product failure and resolutions.
Work with minimal supervision, balancing competing priorities.
Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership in yield improvement.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field.
Minimum 10 years semiconductor product engineering experience.
Strong understanding of wafer processes and device physics.
Experience with DOE, SPC, and data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Python, Excel).
Familiarity with test platforms and probe/test data analysis.
Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Proficient in English language.
Fast learner for new ATE and semiconductor devices and testing.
