PE Product Engineer

Job Title

PE Product Engineer

Role Summary

The PE Product Engineer will ensure product reliability and expected gross margins for memory and interface products by supporting first-silicon bring-up, yield ramp and production. The role works within a cross-functional product engineering team and coordinates with test engineers, OSATs and fabs.

Day-to-day responsibilities focus on debugging silicon, driving yield improvement and ensuring smooth wafer sort and final test production.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 10+ years of product/test engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Bring up and debug first silicon to identify design, process or test issues quickly.
• Ramp yield for new product introductions and perform yield analysis versus D0 projections.
• Identify low-yield detractors and drive root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Work with OSATs and fabs to support wafer sort (WS) and final test (FT) production, including tester correlation and hold-lot disposition.
• Generate and review real-time SBL and SYL to identify production outliers and generate customer reports per commitment.
• Drive test-time reduction to meet product cost-of-goods targets.
• Manage WIP and cycle time and provide feedback to improve production flow.

Requirements

Core must-have and preferred skills (education items are summarized under Education Requirements below):

Must-have:

• 10+ years of product/test engineering experience focused on production support and NPI.
• Hands-on experience with test hardware/software (e.g., Smartest, Exascale, V93K).
• Strong test data analysis capability (tools such as Synopsys, Galaxy, Jump).
• Proven experience interfacing with OSATs and wafer fabs to resolve production issues.
• Knowledge of memory interfaces (e.g., DDRx, RCDs, PMICs, SPD, TS).
• Ability to generate production analytics/reports and perform yield/root-cause analysis.
• Strong communication, organization and prioritization skills; able to work independently and set technical direction.

Nice-to-have:

• Programming skills (C++, JavaScript, Python) for automation and analysis.
• Wafer sort and final test NPI setup/production experience.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required; Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) preferred.
