Senior-level. 5–7.5 years of experience in semiconductor product engineering or a closely related technical role.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Support product quality, reliability, and manufacturing readiness activities for new and sustaining products.
• Coordinate cross-functional work across Design, Test, Applications, Quality, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain.
• Analyze yields, reliability data, failure analysis, and customer returns to identify root causes and mitigation actions.
• Drive sustaining actions: yield improvement, cost reduction, and customer issue resolution.
• Validate and characterize products via testing, debug, and data analysis; correlate bench and production results.
• Manage project schedules, milestones, deliverables, resources, and technical risks across engineering and operations.
• Communicate technical results, risks, and recommendations to engineering teams and leadership.
• Improve processes and NPI practices by identifying gaps, enhancing documentation, and sharing lessons learned.

Requirements

Key qualifications and skills required for immediate contribution, followed by preferred skills.

Must-have:
