TL;DR · Senior Semiconductor Product Engineer

The Senior Semiconductor Product Engineer joins the Optics Operations Product Engineering team to design and sustain optical transceiver components and modules throughout their product lifecycle. This role involves collaborating with foundries to drive failure analysis and yield improvement through process optimization, while partnering with internal teams to develop test flows, set specifications, and improve coverage for screening downstream failures. The engineer will manage yield roadmaps, perform cost analyses, and engage with vendors to resolve quality issues. Key technical requirements include experience with advanced CMOS technology nodes at 7nm and beyond, design for manufacturability, and proficiency in JMP Scripting, Python, or AI models for automated yield prediction. Candidates should possess skills in Bill of Materials and Change Management, with preferred expertise in Advantest 93k ATE for high-performance semiconductor devices and silicon photonics.

What you'll do

  • Partner with foundries to drive failure analysis, manage yield loss, and optimize manufacturing processes.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to bring up, optimize test flows, and establish performance specifications.
  • Analyze ATE/WAT data to evaluate process corners and identify yield sensitivities.
  • Improve test coverage to screen for downstream failures and correlate ATE results with bench and system tests.
  • Own the overall yield roadmaps, conduct cost analyses, and drive continuous yield improvements.
  • Manage relationships with wafer equipment suppliers, foundries, and contract manufacturers to resolve quality issues.
  • Establish manufacturing metrics to improve equipment performance and meet product specifications.
  • Characterize NPI and sustaining product yields to meet cost and capacity targets.

What we're looking for

  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related engineering fields.
  • Proven experience working with CMOS/Memory foundries or fabless design companies.
  • Proven track record of transitioning products from NPI to high volume production through a contract manufacture partner.
  • Experience in advanced CMOS technology nodes (7nm and beyond).
  • Knowledge and experience with design for manufacturability (DFM) during product development.
  • Analytical skills in troubleshooting and JMP Scripting, Python, or AI models for automated yield prediction and monitoring.
  • Background with product development tasks including Bill of Materials and Change Management.
  • Strong experience with Advantest 93k ATE for high-performance semiconductor devices (preferred); Optics or Silicon Photonics experience (preferred).
