• Facilitate communication between Business Groups, R&D centers, and assembly/test sites to ensure smooth product release into high-volume manufacturing.
• Drive problem-solving activities related to test yield, test escapes, tester utilization, and transfer-related technical issues.
• Prepare and present project status updates, gate reviews, and management reports to stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with internal quality systems, customer requirements, and semiconductor industry standards.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives for test efficiency, cost reduction, and operational excellence.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Semiconductor Technology, Physics, or related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5–8 years of experience in semiconductor test engineering, NPI, industrialization, or project management.
• Proven experience managing test transfer, production transfer, or NPI projects within semiconductor manufacturing environments.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor backend processes, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), test methodologies, and qualification flows.
• Experience in cross-site or global project coordination is highly preferred.
• Strong project management skills including scheduling, resource planning, risk management, and stakeholder management.
• Familiarity with quality and reliability requirements such as GR&R, correlation, qualification, and change management processes.
• Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing flows including assembly, wafer test, final test, and reliability screening.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities in fast-paced manufacturing environments.
• PMP / PRINCE2 certification is an added advantage.
