Senior Hardware Engineer / Product Engineer

About the position

This position requires a strong background in SOC/VLSI/Mixed Signal IC bring-up, production and characterization test, and product engineering. The candidate will be responsible for driving yield improvements through yield data analytics and statistical analysis. Effective communication with both internal and external executives is essential, as is the ability to thrive in a complex environment. The role demands a minimum of 7 years' experience in the semiconductor industry and a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or higher. Familiarity with device qualification and JEDEC qualification requirements is also necessary.

Responsibilities

• Drive-to targets for a product and execute to plan to achieve test time reduction and yield optimization.
• Responsible for production screening guard-band specifications based upon design intent and characterization results.
• Transfer new tests and test programs into full manufacturing release by collaborating with suppliers and offshore manufacturing personnel.
• Drive component failure analysis, containments, and root cause corrective actions.
• Work with development/manufacturing engineering and management representatives to resolve complex technical problems.
• Handle product qualification and burn in testing to JEDEC specs.
• Perform statistical data/yield/correlation analysis on large data sets from wafer sort to system final test to find yield issues and drive test and yield optimization.

Requirements

• Strong background in SOC/VLSI/Mixed Signal IC bring-up, production and characterization test, and product engineering.
• Strong background of yield data analytics and driving yield improvements.
• Experience with statistical analysis and correlation.
