Senior Product Engineer, Product Engineering

About the role

The Role:

As Senior Semiconductor Product Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive, design, and manufacture innovative semiconductor solutions for Leo’s satellite and ground terminal products. You will work closely with internal inter-disciplinary teams and third-party suppliers to drive key aspects of semiconductor product manufacturing, test, qualification, and reliability to meet our customers’ needs. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.

Responsibilities

• Review system and product specs and define appropriate stage-gate criteria with TE for product development and qualification.
• Review process & technology selection for product, based on application, design architecture and identify key risks.
• Collaborate with packaging team in reviewing package design, configuration and BoM choices. Incorporate product-package considerations into char & qual plans.
• Develop & execute de-risking strategies to address technology risks to product development.
• Drive test program reviews with design, test, DVT and system teams.
• Define test plans & test coverage for production lots, corners lots, and pre-/post-qualification based on system specs, and yield & Cpk targets.
• Collaborate with TE to develop & evaluate test program, and proto-Si bring-up.
• Analyze foundry WAT data from development, corner lots and qual lots.
• Define char plans for corner lots in conjunction with design, DVT and systems and in alignment to mission profile and system specs.
• Execute char data collection and analysis on corner lots across voltage and temperature.
• Assess gaps in & drive alignment between ATE and bench test programs and drive resolution of mismatch between ATE & bench results.
• Analyze bench-ATE correlation data and implement appropriate offsets / transforms to ATE data to match back to golden bench results.
• Complete char data analysis to derive guard bands for production test program and confirm compliance to system specs.
• Work with design / TE to identify bugs, and support fixes during product bring-up.
• Design & execute GR&R data collection on initial test hardware set-ups to demonstrate gauge capability to product specs – drive follow-up actions such as test program de-bug, spec relaxation with system team as appropriate.
• Drive test-time reduction by AI & ML techniques such as RF-DC and FT-WS correlation and reject-oriented analysis, optimizing for test coverage, quality, yield & cost.
• Define qual plans based on evaluation of mission profile and execute to defined qual plans, projecting FIT rate and dppm estimates based on technology parameters, system application & product lifetime targets.
• Identify root cause and drive fixes for any failures reported during qual.
• Publish comprehensive product qualification, characterization and release to production documentation for review and approval by relevant stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Communications Engineering, or experience working in electrical engineering field
• 10+ years in semiconductor product engineering or foundry process operations, preferably in high-volume wireless SoC devices manufacturing.
• Up to 20% domestic or international travel required.
• Masters or PhD degree in Electrical / Communications Engineering or related field (preferred).
• Excellent oral and written communications skills. Strong technical background in one or more of the following:
• RF product development and characterization experience.
• Knowledge of digital and Serdes testing.
• Experience interfacing with suppliers and external partners.
• Proficiency in statistics, data analysis and YMS products such as Exensio and JMP – scripting skills preferred.
• New product introduction, with transition from design phase, through qualification and into high volume manufacturing environment.
• Conversant with failure analysis techniques such as FIB, SEM, IR, EMMI, and CSAM.
• Knowledgeable with package technologies such as FCBGA, FCCSP, WLCSP, and QFN.
