TL;DR · Product Development Engineer

As a Product Development Engineer on the Operations Product Development Engineering GPU Team, you will focus on productizing chips for consumer, professional, and datacenter markets. You will lead failure analysis of ATE-related escapes, determine root causes, and drive corrective actions into wafer sort and package test. Your daily work involves identifying discrepancies between ATE, SLT, and BLT results while defining guard bands and test methodologies to reduce downstream fallout. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to address DFX and ATE coverage gaps by influencing chip-level hooks and observability features. To solve yield limiters and quality risks, you will build AI and data-analytics-driven workflows. Required skills include experience with Verigy 93K testers, Python, C, C++, and statistical modeling using JMP software. You must possess strong communication skills to manage end-to-end fallout across manufacturing processes.

What you'll do

  • Lead failure analysis of ATE-related escapes at the system level and during customer RMAs.
  • Determine root causes for failures and drive corrective actions into wafer sort and package test.
  • Identify discrepancies between ATE, SLT, and BLT results to define guard bands and test methodologies.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to identify DFX and ATE coverage gaps.
  • Influence chip-level hooks, test modes, and observability features to improve testability and quality.
  • Lead cross-functional forums to track end-to-end manufacturing fallout with measurable reduction targets.
  • Build AI and data-analytics-driven workflows to identify yield limiters and customer-quality risks.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of work experience.
  • Experience with product verification and failure analysis on Verigy 93K tester.
  • Proficiency in Python, C, or C++.
  • Strong data engineering skills including statistical modeling using JMP or other tools.
  • Experience using AI platforms for data analytics such as Claude, cursor, or lovable.
  • Experience improving system and board level yields by enhancing ATE structural test coverage.
  • Solid communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills to collaborate across cross-functional teams.
