The role

This is a product engineering role with technical program ownership. You are the single point of accountability for power/analog products from concept through first silicon, characterization, qualification, production release and sustaining - working across design, package, test, operations, foundry and OSAT teams to get it there.

It is not a yield-analysis role. Yield and outgoing quality are yours, but so are testability and trim strategy before tape-out, package and thermal selection, the NPI schedule, and the cross-functional risk register. If it stands between silicon and shipping product, you own it.

Key responsibilities

NPI and design-phase readiness

- Represent product, test and package requirements in design reviews - test access to analog nodes, trim and OTP strategy, diagnostic and self-test coverage, and the multi-variant bond-out plan where one die serves several products.
- Own package and thermal selection and the package development and qualification plan with the package team and OSAT - power dissipation, junction-to-ambient and junction-to-case targets, exposed-pad and board-level reliability considerations.
- Own the NPI schedule, milestone gates and cross-functional risk register from concept through production release.
- Own product cost - die size and yield entitlement, test time, package, and the unit-cost roadmap across the product life.

Qualification and release

- Own qualification planning and execution in accordance with applicable JEDEC and AEC-Q100 requirements, including the stress set appropriate to power devices - HTOL, power/temperature cycling, and package-level reliability.
- Prepare product-release documentation , datasheet parameter tables and compliance evidence, including PPAP evidence where applicable.
- Support the functional-safety work products - ensuring production screens and characterization data substantiate the FMEDA and safety manual claims.

Production and sustaining





- Monitor production data and apply statistical analysis to identify and correct yield, quality and test-time deficiencies; drive yield improvement.
- Optimise PAT, SYL, SBL, SPC and disposition limits to protect outgoing quality.
- Work with planning, manufacturing, subcontractors and operations to remove material-flow obstacles and recover schedule gaps.
- Create and maintain product BOMs and lifecycle data in PLM systems such as Agile; support fab transfer, process change and BOM change activities.
- Support customer-return and RMA investigations by reproducing failures and assessing production test coverage - including electrical overstress and field-stress modes typical of power devices.
- Own the product through end of life , including last-time-buy and discontinuation planning.

Technical leadership

- Provide technical direction and sign off reviews across design, product engineering, operations, suppliers and OSAT teams, including DFX topics.
- Act as the escalation point for product-level technical decisions and drive risk resolution to closure.
- Influence cross-functional teams without direct authority and communicate clearly to stakeholders at every level.
- Mentor product and test engineers and raise the standard of product engineering practice across programs. Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in electronics, electrical, materials or physics engineering. Advanced degree welcome.
- 10+ years of semiconductor experience spanning product engineering, NPI, manufacturing and test - or 8+ with an advanced degree.



Concept-to-mass-production ownership of at least one product is essential.
- Power or analog product experience - High-voltage or high-current devices; drivers, regulators, power management or similar. This is the core requirement.
- Solid grasp of analog and power device behaviour - driver stages, regulators, references and protection circuits - and how they move over process, voltage and temperature.
- Practical understanding of wafer fabrication, assembly, test, qualification and production-release flows.
- Experience managing engineering wafer starts, prototype builds, customer samples, inventory and product BOMs. .
- Familiarity with JEDEC and AEC-Q100 qualification standards , qualification hardware and software, and failure analysis methods.
- Experience working with external foundries, OSATs and globally distributed teams.
- Fluency with data and statistical methods for managing yield, quality, cycle time and operational priorities.
- Clear written and verbal communication , strong planning and coordination skills, and the ability to work under schedule pressure.

Preferred

- Automotive power/analog experience - AEC-Q100 Grade 1 or 0, tri-temp production test, IATF 16949 and PPAP environments.
- ISO 26262 exposure - production screens and characterization traced to FMEDA claims, safety-related release evidence.
- Experience with a multi-variant die - bond-out or package derivatives sharing one base silicon.
- Thermal modelling and SOA analysis experience for power devices.
- PLM and yield-management tooling - Agile, PDF Exensio, JMP or equivalent.
- Experience with a product from first silicon through a fab or OSAT transfer.
