Senior Product Engineer

Product Lifecycle Engineer 4

Responsibilities:

• Own PE activities for assigned FHS NPI programs from first silicon through mass production release; drive product conformance to specifications and seamless transfer to full-volume manufacturing
• Lead wafer analysis and yield improvement initiatives; own yield loss Pareto, root cause investigation, and corrective action closure for CP and FT yield deviations
• Own BOM reconstruction and maintenance in Agile PLM and SAP for all FHS test hardware and product configurations; maintain full documentation with no single-person knowledge dependency
• Drive process improvement and CIP activities; monitor yield and quality metrics across processing steps, identify trends and anomalies, and implement targeted solutions
• Lead manufacturing qualifications and data analysis for alternate OSAT qualification programs; coordinate handler qualification, correlation lot design, Cpk analysis, and sign-off matrices
• Own RMA verification and customer escalation analysis; lead failure investigation and corrective action implementation to enhance FHS product quality and test coverage
• Drive PAT/SBL/SYL implementation across FHS product families; establish statistical process control baselines at primary and alternate OSATs and integrate with yield analytics platforms
• Support automotive qualification activities; assist in reliability testing coordination and qualification data package preparation
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, Test Engineering, Quality & Reliability, Applications Engineering, and Operations to drive NPI milestones and production continuity

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or related field; Master’s degree preferred
• 5+ years in semiconductor back-end product engineering; MEMS, analog mixed-signal, or force/capacitive sensing experience strongly preferred
• Demonstrated yield analysis capability: parametric failure analysis, Cpk trending, SBL/SYL implementation, PAT outlier detection
• Experience coordinating multi-OSAT qualification programs including correlation lot design and sign-off matrices
• Working knowledge of Agile PLM or equivalent product lifecycle management system for BOM and ECO management
• Proficiency in statistical analysis and data interpretation to drive yield improvements; familiarity with JMP or equivalent tools
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail; must be a team player
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; proficiency in English required; Mandarin working proficiency preferred

Desired Qualifications

• Direct experience with MEMS force/pressure sensors, capacitive sensing, or haptic actuator characterization
• Familiarity with OTP programming and validation.
• Experience in automotive-grade semiconductor product engineering — familiarity with AEC-Q100 qualification flows, PPAP/APQP documentation, and automotive customer quality requirements (IATF 16949 awareness a plus).
• Background in automotive haptic feedback or force-sensing applications strongly preferred; positions the candidate to engage directly with Semtech’s automotive FHS customer pipeline
• Experience with coverage gap analysis of inherited test programs, including spec-level traceability and gap vs. escape classification methodology
• Hands-on experience with ATE platforms (S100 or Advantest V93K) and familiarity with probe card and FT fixture bring-up
• Knowledge of 6-sigma principles (black-belt as an advantage), DFM, and production GR&R methodologies
• Proficiency in scripting or programming for data analysis and automation: Python, VBA, or equivalent
• Demonstrated ability to work in a multi-OSAT, cross-functional team environment.
