Senior NPI Product Engineer - Silicon & ICs

Insight Global; Burlington; On-site; CAD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global is seeking a Principal NPI Product Engineer to own new product development programs—from early silicon development through full production transfer. You will work with cross-functional teams across design, validation, test, characterization, quality and operations on our high‑performance optical and analog/mixed‑signal IC portfolio.

This role drives milestones, DfT/DFM strategy, ATE test programs, wafer-to-bench characterization, product release, yield optimization, and

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or related field; MS preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, test engineering, or design engineering.
• Proven ownership of silicon bring-up, characterization, and production transfer programs.
• Hands-on experience with ATE test development, ATE-to-bench correlation, and production test limit setting.
• Strong foundation in DfT and DfM principles.
• Proficiency with statistical analysis tools such as JMP or Excel; scripting/automation in Python, TCL, or equivalent.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Background in analog/mixed-signal or optical IC characterization (TIA, CDR, LimitAmp, high-speed SerDes).
• Familiarity with high-speed ATE platforms such as Advantest or Teradyne.
• Experience with JEDEC reliability qualification methodologies (HTOL, HAST, ESD, latch-up).
• Exposure to ATPG, MBIST, or boundary scan DFT flows.
• Experience engaging directly with foundry and OSAT partners.

Responsibilities

• Drive NPI programs from concept through production release.
• Own DfT/DFM strategy and lead ATE test program development and verification.
• Develop and execute product characterization plans across wafer, bench, and ATE.
• Lead product release activities, datasheet finalization, and test limit setting.
• Drive yield analysis and optimization through DOE, yield modeling and process capability studies.
• Lead reliability qualification, failure analysis, and root-cause investigations.
• Partner with foundry, packaging, and OSAT teams to resolve manufacturing challenges and drive lifecycle improvements.
