Position Summary:

Connectivity organization is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to provide end-to-end ownership from engineering material planning through product release and volume-production support.  It serves as the central coordination point for engineering supply while also driving product readiness, quality, yield and cost performance. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Initiate and track prototype assembly builds, including assembly priorities, material availability and schedule alignment. 
• Create and maintain product BOMs and product lifecycle data in PLM systems such as Agile. 
• Publish timely NPI schedules, risks, constraints and status updates to product teams through daily, weekly and milestone-based communication. 
• Work with planning, manufacturing, subcontractors and operations teams to remove material-flow obstacles and recover schedule gaps. 
• Ensure a controlled hand-off from NPI to mass production, including engineering-lot conversion, material readiness and production-planning alignment. 
• Own the assigned product lifecycle from concept and first silicon through qualification, production release, sustaining and end of life. 
• Define ATE test, qualification and manufacturing plans to demonstrate datasheet compliance and production readiness. 
• Drive first-silicon bring-up and debug with Design, Test, Applications and Failure Analysis teams. 
• Plan and coordinate voltage, temperature and process characterization, including production limit setting and guard-banding. 
• Own qualification planning and execution in accordance with applicable JEDEC and AEC requirements. 
• Prepare product-release documentation, datasheet compliance evidence and automotive compliance reports as applicable. 
• Monitor production data and use statistical analysis to identify and correct yield, quality and test-time deficiencies. 
• Optimise PAT, SYL, SBL, SPC and disposition limits to protect outgoing quality without creating excessive manufacturing waste. 
• Drive product cost and gross-margin improvement through yield enhancement, test optimization, BOM control and manufacturing efficiency. 

Required Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering or Industrial Engineering 
• At least 5 years of relevant semiconductor experience spanning product engineering, NPI, manufacturing, test, planning. 
• Practical understanding of semiconductor wafer fabrication, assembly, test, qualification and production-release flows. 
• Experience managing engineering wafer starts, prototype builds, customer samples, inventory and product BOMs. 
• Working knowledge of RF and mixed-signal devices, common circuit building blocks, device behaviour and semiconductor test methodology. 
• Familiarity with ATE platforms such as Teradyne J750 or Advantest V93000, and with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies and digital multimeters. 
• Familiarity with JEDEC/AEC qualification standards, qualification hardware/software and semiconductor failure analysis. 
• Experience with PLM and yield-management tools such as Agile, PDF Exensio or JMP. 
• Experience working with external foundries, OSATs, subcontractors and globally distributed product teams. 
• Experience using data and statistical methods to manage yield, quality, cycle time and operational priorities. 
• Strong analytical, planning, coordination and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and the ability to work under schedule pressure. 
• Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
