Staff Product Development Engineer

Job Title

Staff Product Development Engineer

Role Summary

Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Business teams to define and validate product specifications for next-generation memory devices. Lead circuit-level analysis, design verification, device validation, and cross-functional efforts to ensure performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Experience Level

Senior — staff-level role. Posting specifies a Bachelor's degree plus approximately 8 years of progressive, post‑baccalaureate experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include product validation, failure analysis, documentation, and cross-functional support to ramp products into high volume.

• Define and validate product specifications and requirements for next-generation memory devices with multiple internal teams.
• Support design verification via circuit analysis and simulations using CAD tools.
• Create internal architecture documentation from schematics and layout knowledge.
• Interpret and apply JEDEC specifications to ensure product requirements are met.
• Develop validation flows to identify design marginalities and recommend circuit-level fixes.
• Conduct electrical failure analysis to determine root causes of device marginalities or failures.
• Use engineering lab equipment and automated testers for device characterization and failure analysis.
