Job Title

Staff Product Engineer

Role Summary

Drive assigned products from New Product Introduction (NPI) into High Volume Manufacturing (HVM), focusing on test yield, quality, reliability, and productivity improvements. Act as the product engineering lead coordinating across Product Engineering, Test Engineering, Design, Fab, OSATs, and Business Units to enable successful production ramps.

Work with OSAT and manufacturing partners to diagnose failures, implement corrective actions, and deliver data-driven manufacturing readiness and continuous improvement.

Experience Level

Senior — typically requires 8+ years of semiconductor industry experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include NPI-to-HVM execution, yield and quality improvement, test program verification, and cross-functional alignment.

• Manage NPI-to-HVM ramps for assigned products; ensure manufacturing readiness and PDE gate adherence.
• Drive rapid resolution of issues affecting product yield, test coverage, quality escapes, test time, and cost.
• Monitor and improve test yield using trend monitoring, Pareto analysis, and systematic root-cause diagnosis.
• Lead investigation and disposition of problematic materials, on-hold wafer lots, and package test failures.
• Perform failure analysis, parametric correlation, and historical trend analysis to support disposition decisions.
• Collaborate with Test Engineering and Application Engineering on test program development, verification, correlation, validation, and release; ensure alignment across bench, characterization, ATE, probe, and final test.
• Coordinate global stakeholders on test strategy, platform roadmap, capacity, cost, and deployment plans.
• Promote continuous improvement, Lean practices (PDCA, POR/POA), and build PE competency within the organization.

Requirements
