Responsibilities

1) Packaging:

• Own the BU package roadmap and represent the BU via monthly packaging/BU meetings - Technologies include LGA and Dual-Side BGA packaging with conformal shielding and assembly with SMT passives plus wire bond and flip-chip die attach
• Carefully coordinate and work with the packaging team on the roadmap, ensuring a clear annual platform is developed well ahead of the product developments starting
• Drive 20% annual size reduction efforts
• Carefully coordinate with Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMG) to ensure BU needs are met in a timely manner
• Drive Test Vehicles for builds that provide feasibility and support longer term goals

2) Technology coordination:

• Monthly communication of technology use status to facilitate capacity and diversity planning
• Maintain database of technology usage within new product developments - Technologies include 40/65/90/110nm SOI, 130/180nm Si, HBT/BiHEMT, BAW/TCSAW

3) Design automation and methodology support:

• Working with the Design Automation (DA) team to drive productivity and tool improvements. - Tool flows include Cadence Virtuoso/APD, Agilent ADS, EMX/HFSS
• Working with the Design Automation (DA) team driving decisions for toolsets within the module design flow. - Examples include 3D packaging, filter/die integration into board design, and automation via scripts

4) Development support:

•  Proto Line development:  Yield/Process evolution flow for the Proto Lines (local/NPB/SJ/NBP). - This may require tools/approaches ahead of our production facility.  Ensuring local labs have build flows independent of production, but allow the flows to convert successfully into production flow
• Attend design meetings and work with product design teams to share with packaging the needs and evolution
