The Senior Principal Product Engineer joins the Product Engineering team to guide the manufacturability of pioneering designs across foundry and assembly processes. This role involves owning the manufacturing flow across ATE and SLT, driving products from pre-silicon readiness through post-silicon bring-up. Key responsibilities include managing technical pre- and post-silicon operations, conducting manufacturing facility audits, and overseeing yield improvement, silicon reliability qualification, and electrical failure analysis. The candidate must utilize expertise in ATE and SLT test concepts, including Scan, BIST, and functional testing on bare metal. Required skills include a deep understanding of device physics, digital and mixed-signal design, and CPU, GPU, or SoC power and performance dependencies. The work focuses on solving manufacturing challenges for 2.5D/3DIC and sub-3nm nodes.
What does a Product Engineer earn?
Median $197500 from 31 postings across 9 companies.
Own technical pre-silicon and post-silicon operations across design, packaging, software, validation, test, and quality teams.
Manage SOC manufacturing operations with foundries, OSATs, and ASIC vendors to ensure NPI/HVM readiness.
Conduct audits of manufacturing facilities in coordination with cross-functional teams.
Own post-silicon manufacturing test flows, yield improvement, and silicon and package reliability qualification.
Perform PVTF characterization and electrical failure analysis on ATE and SLT.
Drive ATE to system correlation for sensors, voltage/frequency across PVT, Vmin/Fmax characterization, and fusing.
Guide the manufacturability of pioneering designs across foundry and assembly processes.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
Minimum 16 years of experience in product engineering, including manufacturing test, yield improvement, silicon characterization, and reliability qualification.
Strong CPU, SoC, or GPU silicon bring-up and product engineering background.
Existing relationships with Foundries, OSATs, and ASIC vendors.
Broad expertise in ATE and SLT test concepts, characterizations, and correlation methodologies.
Strong understanding of device physics, digital/mixed-signal design, foundry and assembly processes, and power/performance dependencies.
Experience with advanced foundry and assembly processes (preferred).
Leadership experience in a fast-paced organization (preferred).
