Staff Product Engineer
$110,000 - $160,000 USD yearly
About the role
This role involves leading product engineering activities for GaN power semiconductor devices from early silicon and new product introduction (NPI) through qualification and production. The Staff Product Engineer will take technical ownership of product readiness, including device performance, yield, and parametric variation.
What you'll do
- Own product engineering readiness from initial silicon evaluation through high-volume manufacturing.
- Drive electrical characterization, datasheet validation, and test limit development.
- Analyze wafer probe (CP) and final test (FT) results, including yield trends and parametric distributions.
- Lead yield improvement and root-cause investigations using statistical analysis and design of experiments (DOE).
- Resolve sustaining issues involving yield excursions, electrical failures, and reliability concerns.
- Work directly with wafer fabs, OSATs, and Test Engineering on manufacturing process control and production ramp risks.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, Power Electronics, or a related discipline.
- 8+ years of relevant semiconductor product engineering experience.
- Proven experience with NPI, product qualification, and production ramp for semiconductor devices.
- Strong understanding of power semiconductor device physics, electrical characterization, and reliability mechanisms.
- Experience analyzing CP/FT data, parametric distributions, and yield trends using statistical methods.
- Hands-on laboratory capability in electrical characterization of power devices.
Nice to have
- Direct experience with GaN HEMTs, SiC MOSFETs, or comparable power semiconductor technologies.
- Familiarity with dynamic RDS(on), double-pulse testing, switching loss measurements, and gate-drive effects.
- Experience working with wafer fabrication, assembly/packaging, OSAT, and outsourced test partners.
- Experience with DOE, statistical process control, and engineering data-analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab, Python).
