Product Engineer-SiC

DescriptionKey Responsibilities and Duties

• Own change control administration for released products, including fab, test, assembly and other manufacturing process changes
• Drive risk assessment, customer notification, and change validation
• Monitor circuit probe (CP), known good die test (KGD), and final test (FT) operations to identify excursions and contain affected lots quickly
• Develop non-conforming product reports, including root-cause analysis, risk assessment, and disposition
• Identify and resolve recurring product and process issues
• Support automated yield reporting and alerts to catch low-yield trends early
• Prioritize and execute the highest-ROI cost reduction and yield improvement projects; report progress against annual savings goals
• Manage SBL/SYL quality limits and hold-lot disposition
• Implement SPAT, DPAT, and GDBN methods to eliminate statistical outliers
• Lead quality excursion response using 8D methodology and structured problem solving
• Own and maintain the hierarchical BOM structure in Arena PLM
• Maintain specifications and work instructions; help standardize methodology across the Torrance and Pune engineering sites
• Originate and contribute to proactive, higher-scope strategic initiatives such as alternate-site or alternate-flow qualification.

QualificationsRequired Qualifications

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Materials Science, Semiconductor/Microelectronics Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3+ years of experience in semiconductor products, process, or test engineering, ideally spanning fab, wafer test/KGD, and assembly
• Experience with Silicon Carbide (SiC) or other power semiconductor devices strongly preferred
• Working knowledge of statistical process control and outlier-detection methods (e.g., SPC, SPAT/DPAT, GDBN)
• Experience with structured root-cause and corrective action methodologies (8D or equivalent)
• Familiarity with PLM/BOM systems (Arena PLM or similar) and hierarchical BOM structures are a strong plus
• Comfortable working with production and yield data; Excel or scripting skills (Python, JMP/JSL) a plus
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to collaborate closely with the Torrance, CA PE team across time zones
• Self-directed and comfortable operating in a newly established team, helping define processes as the team scales
