Job Description

A product engineer oversees the qualification and release of semiconductor products after successful silicon validation. This involves developing and executing qualification plans while collaborating with various stakeholders, including design, validation, test, foundry, packaging, and qualification teams. A deep understanding of semiconductor qualification flow and the JEDEC standard is crucial to be successful in this role.

Responsibilities 

• Bachelor's or an MS in electrical engineering with 5+ years of experience in post-silicon characterization and reliability testing.
• In-depth knowledge of semiconductor characterization, qualification, and reliability tests, including ESD/Latch-up, HTOL, ELFR, TC, bHAST, uHAST, etc
• Strong failure analysis (FA) techniques to diagnose and improve analog/mixed-signal ICs and modules
• Knowledge of statistical tools like JMP and experience in handling and presenting large datasets in a meaningful fashion
• Knowledge of IC manufacturing processes, including fab, assembly, and test
• Experience in bringing new products from definition to production release, including characterization and reliability testing

Requirements

Manage High power PA modules through the Axiro new product introduction (NPI) process from product compliance to production release
Develop and implement qualification plans based on the datasheet and the JEDEC standards
Drive measurements/data collection and statistical analysis for Characterization, Qualification, Correlation, Production Test Limit setting, and other specialized testing for datasheet parameters
Generate post-silicon characterization, bench-to-ATE correlation, and ATE test limit plans for new products based on Axiro guidelines and JEDEC standards
Create and manage product BOMs PLM
Review NPI-related hardware designs
Review ATE test data and perform root cause analysis of any reliability failures using statistical tools, like JMP
Cost reduction via yield improvement and test time reduction
Excursion management (Low yield and RMAs)
Validate production test systems
Continually explore opportunities to improve the NPI process. Focus areas include streamlining test, qualification, and characterization plans and strategies, reducing documentation overhead, and leveraging NPI efficiencies such as Qualification by Similarity (QBS)
Hold regular meetings with stakeholders, assigning tasks, and failure debug sessions to ensure timely and high-quality product release.
