Responsibilities
- Support NPI activities from product concept through final product release, assisting in ensuring product conformance to specifications and seamless transfer to full volume manufacturing
- Collaborate with internal cross functional teams including Project Lead, Design, Marketing, Validation, Test Engineering, Characterization, Quality & Reliability, Applications Engineering and Operations
- Assist in tracking backend NPI development through product transfer, and participate in milestone reviews of NPI program logistics, timelines and milestones
- Support preparation of NPI product release deliverables and OSAT related manufacturing documentation
- Support the definition of Design for Testability (DfT) and Design for Manufacturability (DfM) requirements for NPI products
- Assist test engineers in the development, implementation, verification and optimization of ATE test programs
- Support product characterization, correlation, and release activities
- Assist in finalizing datasheet specifications and ATE production test limits under senior engineer direction
- Assist in developing product characterization plans for wafer level and bench characterization tests
- Perform data analysis of ATE and bench characterization results across PVT variations, including ATE to bench correlation studies and process capability analysis
- Support yield modeling activities to develop foundational understanding of yield and quality drivers
- Assist in planning and executing Design of Experiments (DOE) to support yield analysis, test time reduction, and test optimization efforts
Requirements
- BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field (MS a plus)
- 8+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, test engineering, or design engineering
- Basic familiarity with statistical theory and data analysis tools (e.g. Excel, JMP)
- Foundational knowledge of semiconductor physics and analog/mixed signal IC design principles
- Exposure to or coursework in DFM, DFT, and ATE test methodologies is a plus
- Familiarity with high speed digital ATE test platforms (e.g. Advantest, Teradyne) or bench test equipment is a plus
- Basic awareness of semiconductor qualification processes and reliability testing methodologies (JEDEC, HTOL, ESD, Latch up) is a plus
- Strong analytical, problem solving, and communication skills
