Principal Product Engineering

Description

Our mission at Enphase Energy is to advance a sustainable future for all. Today, our intelligent microinverters, which turn sunlight into an affordable, safe, reliable, and scalable source of energy, work with virtually every solar panel made, and when paired with our award-winning smart battery technology, we engineer one of the industry's best-performing clean energy systems. To date, we have installed more than 48 million microinverters on more than 2.5 million systems across 140 countries and well over 50 thousand homes use our energy storage products.

Like our customers, our innovative teams are also worldwide, making Enphase Energy a truly global company. We are one of the fastest growing and most dynamic energy companies in the world. Nimble and acutely focused on developing ground-breaking solar energy management technology, each of our teams has a shared goal of creating a carbon-free future.

Our custom designed ASICs enable our industry-leading IQ microinverters, batteries and other energy management products.  We are looking for an engineer to characterize and qualify our ASICs before we produce millions in support of our energy services platform

What you will be doing:

• • Drive new ASIC’s through NPI process for all things related to characterization, qualification, and manufacturing test (Yields, Costs, Test time, etc)
  • Work with the ASIC design engineers to establish testability against Requirements
  • Coordinate with our foundry partners to develop manufacturing test plans
  • Design a set of PCBs for characterization and burn-in new ASIC’s
  • Write code to control the char equipment
  • Characterization of new ASIC’s vs datasheet requirements
  • Reproduce and debug ASIC issues as they arise
  • Support Failure Analysis for any RMA units
  • Drive difficult cross functional problem solving across ASIC design (digital and/or analog), foundry partners, system level engineering and manufacturing test engineers
  What We Are Looking For 
  You will need to be an independent self-starter but also a natural team player.  Strong oral and written communication abilities are required.  Your attention to details and desire to learn new things will make you stand out in our pool of candidates.  Your background should include:
  • Bachelor’s degree + 5-12+ years of demonstrable professional experience in electrical engineering
  • Familiarity with the operation of ADCs, op amps, comparators, FET drivers. etc
  • Experience in Semiconductor Fabrication Process and Skew corners.
  • Experience in analysing Wafer Acceptance Test to drive performance and yield results.
  • Knowledge of Statistical Processes , Design of Experiments for ASIC debug and Software for analysis (i.e. JMP or Minitab)
  • Experienced in driving device qualification and in Failure Analysis process.
  • Experience with Python or similar scripting languages.
  • Strong understanding of tests and test equipment including SMUs, AWG, logic analysers, oscilloscopes, DMMs, etc.
  • Experience with ATE platforms (Verigy 93K preferred), Wafer Probers and Handlers.
  • Experience in bring up, debug and analysing a board or system for failures
  • Experience with of Cadence PCB tools (OrCAD CIS and Allegro) and knowledge of the full-design flow of a PCBA
  • Being comfortable using a solder station for rework and basic assembly
  • Any experience with National Instruments LabView and TestStand is considered a big plus.
