TL;DR · Senior Silicon Product Engineer, DFP - Manufacturing

As a Senior Silicon Product Engineer, DFP – Manufacturing, you will join the DFP team to define and implement validation and screening for new silicon features within high-volume manufacturing flows. You will translate product requirements into executable test methodologies, infrastructure, and detailed manufacturing test plans while managing the DFP roadmap and ensuring quality, yield, and efficiency at scale. Your daily work involves partnering with multi-functional teams to implement test content, debug hooks, and coverage improvements while balancing manufacturability and cost trade-offs. You will utilize Python, MATLAB, R, or SQL for data analysis, limit tuning, and yield optimization. This role focuses on the manufacturing test lifecycle for complex SoCs, GPUs, and CPUs, requiring expertise in post-silicon validation to solve critical challenges in high-volume production environments through robust screening and technical documentation.

What you'll do

  • Translate system specifications and product requirements into executable test methodologies and manufacturing plans.
  • Own the end-to-end manufacturing test methodology across all stages of production.
  • Define and maintain the DFP roadmap including infrastructure and turning point planning.
  • Embed testability requirements into early designs to enable robust screening and debugging.
  • Drive alignment on manufacturability, test time, binning strategies, and cost versus coverage trade-offs.
  • Develop data and analytics frameworks to support yield analysis and continuous improvement.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation as the single source of truth for manufacturing teams.
  • Utilize AI tools to accelerate data analysis, script creation, and documentation workflows.

What we're looking for

  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 6+ years of experience in silicon post-silicon validation and/or high-volume manufacturing test for complex SoCs, GPUs, CPUs, or similar.
  • Hands-on experience with test content bring-up, limit setting, correlation to characterization, and yield/coverage optimization.
  • Proficiency with scripting and data analysis using Python, MATLAB, R, or SQL for test data analytics and yield analysis.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive multi-functional alignment around plans, dependencies, and sign-off criteria.
  • Excellent communication skills and experience authoring structured technical documents and test plans.
  • Prior ownership of manufacturing test strategy for a major silicon product from early planning through ramp to production.
  • Ability to integrate AI tools into daily workflows to accelerate analysis, documentation, and development (preferred).
