Staff Product Engineer, BMS

About the role

The Staff Product Engineer for BMS is a highly experienced and technically proficient role responsible for the successful characterization, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing release of BMS ICs for automotive applications. This role is a critical link between the design, test, applications, and quality assurance teams, ensuring that the BMS IC meets all functional, performance, and reliability requirements throughout its lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the qualification of new BMS products, ensuring compliance with automotive standards such as AEC-Q100 for stress qualification.
• Develop, execute, and oversee comprehensive product reliability plans.
• Develop and implement characterization plans to fully test and validate the performance of BMS ICs, covering all features and operating conditions.
• Work closely with design and test engineers to create robust and efficient test programs for both characterization and high-volume manufacturing.
• Apply advanced statistical analysis techniques to product data for process monitoring, yield optimization, and test limit definition.
• Utilize statistical tools to identify and resolve performance and reliability issues.
• Serve as the product expert for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) activities, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Control Plans, and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation.
• Drive functional safety (ISO 26262) compliance by supporting safety mechanism validation, fault injection testing, and reporting as part of the overall IC safety case.
• Lead cross-functional teams in the analysis of customer returns and production test failures to identify root causes and implement effective corrective actions.
• Utilize techniques such as 8D methodology for formal problem-solving and reporting.
• Act as the primary technical interface for customers, application engineers, design teams, and test engineers.
• Provide technical support during product integration and production ramp-up.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in product or test engineering for automotive semiconductor ICs.
• Extensive experience with BMS ICs or similar power/analog ICs for automotive applications.

Skills

• Deep understanding of automotive standards, including AEC-Q100, APQP, PPAP, and ISO 26262.
• Proficiency in statistical analysis tools and methodologies for IC data.
• Strong knowledge of IC fabrication, assembly, and testing processes.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for collaboration with internal and external teams.
• Proven ability to lead technical teams and drive complex projects to completion.
• Exceptional problem-solving abilities and a data-driven approach to decision-making.
