Senior Product Development Engineer, Annapurna Labs Silicon Operations - Austin, Texas, United States
Originally posted 16 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves taking full ownership of a product's yield across multiple test insertions, from wafer sort through package final test, system level test, and downstream card/server/fleet test for silicon used in machine learning accelerator servers.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end yield of one or more products across wafer sort, final test, SLT, driving systematic yield improvement and excursion response.
- Identify and address customer quality issues by monitoring downstream yields and quality from card test through customer utilization.
- Identify and prioritize cost, quality, characterization activities, and assign and coordinate work across a team of engineers.
- Align product requirements with stakeholders, and define and drive cost, schedule, and resource requirements for new product delivery.
- Engage strategically with DFT, supply chain, test, manufacturing, quality, foundry, and OSAT teams to solve complex problems.
- Lead functional and structural test coverage improvements at ATE and system through DOE planning and targeted characterization.
What you'll need
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Deep knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes.
- Expertise in statistical analysis.
- Experience setting yield strategy by identifying and prioritizing cost and quality activities.
- Ability to align requirements with key stakeholders and direct the work of other engineers.
- Capability to engage foundry, OSAT, DFT, supply chain, test, manufacturing, and system validation partners at a strategic level.
