Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 5–8 years’ experience in the semiconductor industry
  • Strong background in product, test, or design engineering — ideally in sustaining or lifecycle support roles
  • Proven success in yield analysis, margin recovery, and cross-functional problem-solving
  • Solid understanding of ATE test systems (Advantest, Teradyne) or equivalent bench setups
  • Experience with data-driven engineering, including statistical process control and design of experiments
  • Familiarity with high-speed serial digital interfaces, video/datacom systems, or JEDEC/Mil quality standards is a plus

Responsibilities

  • Lead margin improvement and yield optimization activities across production sites and suppliers
  • Own all aspects of the product lifecycle — from production ramp to end-of-life management
  • Maintain product documentation, BOMs, routings, and ensure manufacturing readiness across global sites
  • Investigate and resolve critical production issues impacting quality, test performance, or yield
  • Work closely with Test Engineers to enhance test coverage, streamline test time, and optimize cost
  • Lead structured problem-solving using 8D, CAPA, and other quality methodologies
  • Partner with Design and NPI teams to embed manufacturability and cost efficiency early in the product lifecycle
  • Coordinate with Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain to ensure consistent output and product health
  • Use data-driven insight to influence decisions that improve manufacturing stability and customer satisfaction
  • Apply statistical analysis tools (Excel, JMP, Galaxy, dataConductor) to model yields and identify optimization opportunities
  • Drive continuous improvement projects that push the boundaries of cost, performance, and reliability
