DRAM Product Engineer - Mobile Design Validation and AI-Driven Optimization

Job Title

DRAM Product Engineer - Mobile Design Validation and AI-Driven Optimization

Role Summary

Product engineering role focused on validation and optimization of low-power DRAM (LPDDR) products for mobile, automotive, and data center applications. The role performs failure analysis, electrical validation, and NPI activities while applying AI/ML techniques to improve test coverage and characterization efficiency.

Works across design, manufacturing, test, and product teams and supports cross-site handover between Taiwan, Japan, and other global teams.

Experience Level

Mid-level engineer. The position expects experienced candidates (more than 5 years in the semiconductor industry is typical for this grade).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include validation, analysis, and optimization of LPDDR products across silicon bring-up through characterization and handover.

• Perform electrical validation and silicon characterization across operating conditions.
• Conduct failure analysis using tester data, data mining, and silicon measurements.
• Drive and implement root-cause fixes with Circuit Design; run digital/analog simulation to identify design issues.
• Support NPI activities: bring-up, characterization, and cross-site handover.
• Own LPDDR-specific validation items (power, timing margin, IDD, training behaviors).
• Apply AI/ML and optimization techniques to test-parameter optimization, failure-pattern analysis, and characterization planning.
• Define measurable objectives, constraints, baselines, and evaluation criteria for AI-assisted approaches and validate AI recommendations with simulation, tester data, and silicon evidence.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Process Integration, Application Engineering, and Test Solutions teams across sites.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in the role.

• Strong electrical testing skills on ATE platforms.
• Solid electrical engineering fundamentals and understanding of IC design and semiconductor devices.
• Experience with data mining, yield analysis, and test-data analysis automation or scripting.
• Programming capability in Python; experience with C++, Verilog/SystemVerilog is desirable.
• Experience working in NPI environments and delivering project results independently.
• Ability to validate AI-generated insights using circuit knowledge, simulation, and tester/silicon data.
• Good communication and cross-functional collaboration skills across global teams.
• AI background, familiarity with LPDDR architecture and JEDEC specifications, and experience automating test-data workflows are strong pluses.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. Desired: background in VLSI, Semiconductor Physics, or Nanotechnology. Japanese language capability is a plus.
