Responsibilities: 

• Perform reviews of external customer specification drawings to predict yield impact of proposed RF test specifications.
• Analyze wafer RF probe data, work with external Foundry customers, operations device/yield/test engineering to negotiate test limits for pre-production and production testing, resolve die product test specifications and limit conflicts.
• Correlate, present, and converse clearly about various starting material and manufacturing process influences on RF performance of die designs
• Review customer specification drawing change proposals; predict impact of RF spec changes to production yield
• Respond to external customer concerns about die RF performance, quality, and reliability.  Heavy emphasis on frequent presentations and technical discussions with external customers.
• Determine root causes of RF Probe, nonconforming product and take appropriate action.
• Implement corrective and preventive actions to eliminate defects and nonconforming material.
• Generate required Product Engineering deliverables during the New Product Development and maintain throughout product lifetime. 
• Data-driven decision making based on timely and thorough data analysis. 
• Provide detailed analyses for each major design revision during the prototype phase of development, identify key parameters needing improvement and then communicate these to the core development team. 
• Practice continuous improvement and yield optimization by tracking wafer foundry parameters, uncovering correlations and troubleshooting process and equipment issues. 
• Employ appropriate Statistical Process Control (SPC) principles to reduce variability in product performance. 

• Support Test Engineering activities to debug, validate and release production test hardware/software. 
• Compile and analyze data using common statistical techniques (time-series analysis, CPK, DOE, SPC, ANOVA) and effectively present key results along with recommended actions. 

• Generates Yield Plans that develop roadmaps to improve yield and reduce cost. 
• Engage in group problem-solving and process improvement projects (familiarity with Six Sigma or comparable methods is desirable). 
• Serve as the central technical resource for design, process, manufacturing, test and quality for assigned products. 

 

 Qualifications: 

• BS in Electrical Engineering or comparable technical discipline (MS preferred) with minimum 7-10 years of experience as a Product Engineer. 

• Understanding of RF/Microwave theory and of semiconductor physics. 
• Knowledge of typical RF test equipment and common test methodologies. 
• Preferred experience in a III/V semiconductor manufacturing environment.
• Expertise in statistical methods and common statistical software (JMP, Spotfire, Excel, etc.). 

• Familiarity with standard problem-solving methods such as 8D or 5-Whys.
• Must have strong attention to detail, be self-motivated and able to achieve results with minimal supervision. 
• A team player with strong written, verbal and interpersonal skills. 

• Time management skills sufficient to balance multiple high-priority activities.
