Senior/Staff Product Engineer

Job Title

Senior/Staff Product Engineer

Role Summary

Join the Product & Test Engineering (PTE) team to support new product introductions (NPI), qualification, and early manufacturing ramps for wireless SoCs and modules. The role partners with Design, Test, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to meet cost, performance, yield, and reliability targets.

Technologies include Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, Wi‑Fi, and Matter; responsibilities span characterization, qualification, reliability, and production test optimization.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical experience: Bachelor's +5 years or Master's +3 years in product/test engineering for high-volume semiconductor products.

Responsibilities

Accountable for product engineering deliverables from NPI through launch and early production support. Key duties include:

• Drive product engineering from NPI through launch and manufacturing ramp support.
• Define guardbands, corner conditions, and ATE characterization strategies.
• Plan and support product qualification and reliability testing to JEDEC/AEC standards.
• Design burn-in hardware and develop stress-test patterns (HTOL, ELFR, HAST) for qualification and reliability.
• Analyze yield, parametric, and test data to identify and resolve performance, cost, and quality issues.
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for yield excursions, test coverage gaps, and customer returns.
• Monitor production metrics across fab, assembly, and test to maintain product health.
• Mentor junior engineers and improve methodologies and best practices.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience (degree requirements are summarized under Education Requirements below):

• Proven product or test engineering experience for high-volume semiconductor products.
• Proficiency with data analysis tools and scripting (examples: JMP, Python, SQL, R) and statistical problem-solving methods.
• Solid understanding of IC manufacturing, test processes, and failure analysis.
• Familiarity with analog/mixed-signal ICs or RF-enabled devices.
• Experience designing burn-in hardware and developing stress-test patterns for qualification and reliability.

Nice-to-have / Preferred:

• Experience with wireless or IoT SoCs (BLE, Zigbee, Wi‑Fi, Matter).
• Experience with ATE platforms, lab instrumentation, wafer sort, final test, and system-level test (SLT).
• Knowledge of ESD/LU qualification and reliability testing.
• Experience developing automated test flows or data pipelines.
• Experience working in global, cross-functional environments.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (required in combination with 5+ years experience) or Master’s degree with 3+ years experience. No other certification or specific field was specified.
