Contenuto del lavoro

Millions of people experience Synaptics every day. Our technology impacts how people see, hear, touch, and engage with a wide range of IoT applications -- at home, at work, in the car or on the go.

We solve complex challenges alongside the most influential companies in the industry, using the most advanced algorithms in areas such as machine learning, biometrics and video processing, combined with world class software and silicon development.

Come join a dynamic, global product engineering team working on cutting edge technologies in the consumer and automotive markets. This is a high-visibility role for a high performing, motivated engineer that will work cross-functionally with Design, Test Development, overseas Test Product, Packaging, Foundry, QA, Systems, Marketing, Supply Chain, Planning, Finance and other teams.

• Managing all aspects of new product introduction, from concept through volume ramp into mass production and full life cycle
• Scheduling all aspects of product development, tracking progress, and keeping
• Defining test, PVT characterization and silicon/package qualification plans for new products
• Engaging in design and testability reviews to promote low cost implementations while also ensuring DFT targets are met
• Creating a qualification plan tailored to consumer, industrial or automotive standards and ensuring its successful execution
• Designing qualification test hardware such as HTOL boards
• Driving bench-to-ATE correlation for key parameters
• Ensuring new devices meet yield, test coverage, quality and cost targets
• Defining yield and manufacturing spec for wafer sort, final test and system-level test
• Setting robust test limits that ensure proper test screening of outgoing devices
• Validating new test programs, test hardware, ATEs and OSATs via GRR analysis
• Evaluating customer returns, driving the necessary failure analysis, and identifying test coverage gaps to bring issues to a close
• Supporting
• Driving continuous improvement to meet yield, test time, quality and dppm targets
• Striving for highest device quality at lowest product cost
• Dispositioning production lots based on yield analysis, bin yield limits, fab PCM data, and other metrics
• Summarizing yield trends and improvement efforts in regular meetings with cross-functional team and management
• Engaging with Marketing to support business case development of new products as well as early samples commitments
  

The Product Engineering Candidate Should Have

• A broad understanding of NPI flow, silicon test, reliability, quality, and failure analysis techniques
• Expertise in statistical analysis and experienced with data analysis software such as DataConductor, DataPower, JMP or equivalent
• Deep knowledge of PVT characterization, guard-banding, formulating limits, and characterization report creation
• Expertise in silicon qualification with strong working knowledge of standards like JESD47 and AEC-Q100
• Experience in qualification hardware design (HTOL/bHAST boards), burn-in pattern conversion, V-I profiling and bring-up
• Familiarity with silicon and package qualification for consumer and automotive markets, with ability to create associated reports
• Experience on ATE test platforms such as Teradyne UltraFLEX, Teradyne J750 or Advantest 93
• The ability to support chip level failure analysis and RMAs
• A minimum 10+ years in semiconductor Product Engineering with a BSEE (or similar) required and MSEE or higher desired
  

The Ideal Candidate Will Also Have

• Strong project management skills, with ability to prioritize tasks and drive multiple projects at various stages of development
• Excellent teamwork, collaboration and interpersonal skills
• Avid problem-solving skills with the ability to gauge risk and develop countermeasures
• An inherent sense of urgency and accountability
• Be self-driven, a highly motivated individual with excellent communication and documentation skills
• Strong multi-tasking capability
• Attention to detail and be organized
• Japanese language skills are a huge plus!
