Senior Post-Silicon Product Engineer, Silicon Systems Group

Key job responsibilities

Post-Silicon Validation & Characterization

• Lead the bring-up and characterization of new silicon, ensuring functionality and performance meet design specifications.

• Develop and execute detailed validation plans, including defining test methodologies, coverage metrics, and corner conditions.

• Define and validate silicon and ATE-level test coverage, ensuring comprehensive validation aligned with customer application scenarios.

Data Analysis & Yield Improvement

• Analyze data from WAT, wafer sort, ATE, and system-level tests to identify trends, anomalies, and systematic issues.

• Implement automation pipelines for data analysis across the test flow to improve traceability, root-cause identification, and feedback into design and test.

• Develop and implement strategies that align test environments and methodologies with defined yield, quality, and performance objectives.

• Apply advanced data analytics—including regression, correlation, and predictive modelling—to optimize test efficiency and drive yield improvements.

Test Development & Optimization

• Collaborate with design and test engineering teams to develop and optimize test programs for wafer and package-level testing.

• Partner with ATE engineers to debug test failures, refine test coverage, and identify limitations in test hardware/software infrastructure.

• Lead test time reduction and cost optimization initiatives while maintaining required test coverage and quality standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Design, SoC, DFT, Reliability, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to resolve silicon issues and support successful product ramp.

• Lead structured failure analysis and root cause investigations to address quality, reliability, and customer-return issues.

• Coordinate with cross-functional leaders to ensure alignment on key product KPIs such as yield, DPPM, quality escapes, and production readiness.

Documentation & Reporting

• Generate comprehensive engineering reports detailing validation results, failure analyses, and recommended actions.

• Maintain accurate records of test methodologies, data analyses, and process changes.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• Minimum 10 years of experience in post-silicon validation, product engineering, or semiconductor development roles.

• Strong understanding of semiconductor testing methodologies, including ATE, wafer sort, and SLT.

• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, validation, characterization, and debug.

• Proficiency in data analysis tools such as JMP, Python, and SQL.

• Familiarity with statistical methods such as SPC, CPK, DOE, and other yield improvement methodologies.

• Strong problem-solving skills, including root cause analysis across silicon, package, and system levels.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document complex technical findings clearly.

• Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments, supporting NPI (New Product Introduction) to mass production transition.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with reliability testing standards (e.g., HTOL, HAST, TC) and failure analysis methodologies.

• Knowledge of wafer fabrication and packaging processes.

• Familiarity with defining test coverage for critical IP blocks and validating against customer use cases.

• Experience using AWS cloud tools — including Lambda functions, SageMaker, and QuickSight — for data analysis and automation.

• Exposure to system-level validation, including correlation between silicon behavior and system-level performance.

• Experience collaborating with SoC Design, DFT, Debug Leads, Reliability, and Quality teams.

• Strong understanding of customer RMA handling and product sustenance strategies.

• Experience with end-to-end product ownership from early silicon evaluation through to high-volume production.
