As the Product Engineering Manager in the Power Management BU, you will lead a team of Product Engineers responsible for the development, qualification, and release of new Power Management semiconductor products while maintaining an active portfolio of released products. This role requires a hands-on manager who drives innovation, yield improvement, and product quality in a fast-paced, dynamic environment using rigorous statistical methods and leadership expertise. You will interface with various teams, including Design, Applications, Test, Packaging, Reliability, Operations, and Quality Engineering, to ensure products exceed customer expectations. The role also involves managing team performance, providing mentorship, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across the group.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Leadership & Team Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of Product Engineers. Set clear objectives, provide guidance, and support professional development to meet both individual and team goals.
• New Product Introduction (NPI): Oversee the product engineering deliverables for NPI, including test plan development, validation, and production release. Ensure timely completion of NPI milestones and address technical challenges in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Test Strategy & Optimization: Lead the development and implementation of test strategies for wafer, die-sort, and final packaged devices. Drive test cost reduction and efficiency improvements through innovative solutions.
• Data Analysis & Yield Improvement: Oversee thorough test data analysis on initial product designs and revisions during the product development cycle. Identify areas for yield improvement and implement corrective actions using statistical analysis (e.g., SPC, ANOVA, CPK). Provide regular reports and updates on performance to internal stakeholders and customers.
• Product Sustaining & Quality: Manage sustaining efforts for existing products, ensuring manufacturability, product quality, and performance meet customer requirements. Implement continuous improvement initiatives to enhance yield, product quality, and cost efficiency.
