THE ROLE:

Product Engineers are critical in driving cost, quality, and time-to-market KPIs during new product introduction. This role ensures planning and verification of test coverage and development of screening methodologies for microprocessors, driving product quality through data analysis and statistical modeling, from pre-silicon planning through high volume manufacturing and customer experience. You will be expected to work with design, system architects, product/test owners, reliability, and customer engineers. This is a highly visible role with exposure to Technical and people leaders across functions.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop an understanding of product IP blocks and their mission-mode/customer usage
• Conducting in-depth and cross-functional investigations and analysis to eliminate causes of systematic and random issues relating to quality, reliability, and customer observations.
• Analysis of characterization and end-to-end manufacturing data from WAT, Sort, Package and System level test, to identify failure mechanisms, preventive actions, and weakness in test strategy, to enhance test coverage and screening methodologies.
• Data extraction, summarization, prediction, correlation and regression analysis.
• Ensuring that correct product test conditions are implemented for optimal yield, quality and performance. Identifying test coverage gaps, providing data-driven improvement plans.
• Maintaining excellent communication and cross-functional brainstorming with different product stakeholders (Product Engineering and Test teams, Quality and Reliability, IP/SOC design, Platform debug Leads etc.).
• Mentoring less experienced engineers. Representing the Product Engineering Quality team at technical forums and driving organization-wide initiatives and BKMs.
