Node Development Product Engineer

Job Title

Node Development Product Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for bringing up new DRAM process nodes from design start through qualification and production ramp, co-optimizing product and process to achieve target yield and performance.

Work as a cross-functional technical lead with Design, Test, Process Integration, Manufacturing and Quality teams to diagnose failure mechanisms, guide test programs, and enable production readiness.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not state specific years of experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include technical leadership across node startup, failure analysis, yield improvement, and test/program development.

• Enable new process node startup, qualification, yield improvement and production ramp.
• Provide technical direction to development teams using process-integration knowledge.
• Develop and track technology health metrics and drive learning actions.
• Perform electrical failure analysis (bench and probe) to isolate circuit, array, or process-originated issues.
• Identify design marginalities and recommend fixes to improve robustness and yield.
• Perform deep statistical analysis to diagnose yield trends and prioritize corrective actions.
• Guide probe/test program correctness by correlating design intent, simulation and production test behavior; identify test-mode misconfigurations and parameter issues.
• Use silicon validation environments, proprietary lab equipment and automation scripts to assess device performance.
• Collaborate across global engineering teams and communicate technical findings, risks and readiness criteria to R&D and manufacturing stakeholders.

Requirements

Key skills and experience. Must-haves are listed first.

• Must-have: DRAM architecture, process and test knowledge.
• Must-have: Yield-ramp and electrical failure-analysis experience.
• Must-have: Strong JMP and Python capability for data analysis.
• Project management and presentation skills to lead cross-functional activities.
• Familiarity with AI tools and how to apply them to job functions (e.g., Claude, internal AI assistants) - nice to have.

Education Requirements

Engineering degree required. The posting does not specify a particular engineering field or state an explicit equivalent-experience allowance.
