Sr. Manager, GaN Product Engineering - Pune, India
About the role
This role involves leading GaN product engineering and new product development programs from concept through formal product release using the APQP framework.
What you'll do
- Own execution of assigned GaN product engineering and new product development programs.
- Develop and maintain detailed program plans including scope, milestones, deliverables, and qualification gates.
- Lead product engineering activities supporting NPI from development through production release, including electrical characterization, parametric analysis, and yield monitoring.
- Perform and guide characterization of GaN power devices, including breakdown voltage, leakage, and dynamic RDS(on).
- Drive definition of CP, FT, QC, characterization with technology and test engineering.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to product engineering and NPI engineers.
What you'll need
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, Power Electronics, or related field; BS with significant relevant power semiconductor experience may be considered.
- 8+ years of semiconductor industry experience including product engineering, NPI, qualification, production ramp, or sustaining of power semiconductor devices.
- Hands-on experience with GaN power devices, GaN HEMTs, or related wide bandgap semiconductor technologies.
- Strong understanding of power semiconductor device physics, switching behavior, reliability mechanisms, and manufacturing sensitivities.
- Hands-on laboratory experience with electrical characterization of power devices, including high-voltage parametric testing, dynamic RDS(on), double-pulse testing, and switching loss measurement.
- Experience supporting product qualification, reliability data review, datasheet validation, test limit development, and formal product release readiness.
- Working knowledge of APQP, semiconductor NPI processes, wafer probe, final test, quality control, failure analysis, yield management, and risk-based decision making.
- Strong technical execution, program management, data-driven problem-solving, cross-functional communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
Nice to have
- Experience productizing high-voltage GaN HEMTs.
- Experience interfacing with wafer fabrication, OSAT, backend manufacturing, test, reliability, applications, and customer-facing technical teams.
- Familiarity with application-level validation, gate-drive optimization, switching characterization platforms, and power converter operating conditions.
- Prior experience leading or mentoring product engineering, NPI, characterization, qualification, or sustaining engineering teams.
