Senior Product Engineer

u-blox; Thalwil; Vor Ort; CHF 110.000 - 140.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

u-blox seeks a Product Engineer to bridge chip design, fab, assembly, and test operations in a fabless semiconductor setting. You will manage subcontractors while applying advanced test data analytics, statistics, and data structuring to ensure high product yield and cost-efficient mass production.

You will work with Test Development, Logistics, and Quality teams to deliver compliant products on time, upholding strict automotive and industrial quality standards.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with semiconductor production test data analysis tools (e.g., YieldMan, Exensio/PDF Solutions, Galaxy Semiconductor, JMP, Spotfire).
• Solid understanding of database structures (SQL, relational databases, STDF data parsers) and proficiency in querying structured test data.
• Strong proficiency in statistical methods (SPC, Gauge R&R, ANOVA, Six Sigma).
• In-depth knowledge of wafer fabrication, assembly processes, and test flows (Wafer Sort and Final Test).
• Structured, precise, independent analytical problem-solving.
• Good team player with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• Fluent in English; German language skills are a plus

Aufgaben

• Execute, qualify, and release production test programs (Wafer Sort & Final Test) at global OSATs.
• Analyze large-scale production test datasets to identify yield trends and detect parametric outliers.
• Maintain, query, and structure yield databases to streamline data extraction and reporting workflows.
• Drive root-cause identification and rapid resolution for yield drops and equipment excursions.
• Apply SPC and Six Sigma methods to monitor device limits and wafer maps.
• Act as liaison connecting FAB, assembly/packaging, and test operations to optimize yields and reduce test times.
• Collaborate with Test Development, Logistics and Quality to deliver compliant products on time with automotive/industrial quality standards.

Jobbeschreibung

As a Product Engineer, you will bridge the gap between chip design, foundry manufacturing (FAB), assembly houses, and test operations in a fabless semiconductor environment. Combining hands-on subcontractor management with advanced test data analytics, statistical modeling, and data structure expertise, you will ensure high product yield, zero-defect quality, and cost-effective mass production

Your responsibilities

• Execute, qualify, and release production test programs (Wafer Sort & Final Test) at global OSATs.
• Analyze large-scale production test datasets to identify yield trends, perform Pareto analyses, and detect parametric outliers.
• Maintain, query, and structure yield databases to streamline data extraction, build tracking dashboards, and enable automated reporting workflows.
• Drive root-cause identification and rapid resolution for yield drops, low-yield lots, equipment excursions, and electrical failure analysis (EFA) on the production floor.
• Apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Six Sigma methods to monitor device limits, Cpk/Ppk metrics, and spatial wafer maps.
• Act as the technical liaison connecting FAB, assembly/packaging houses, and test operations to optimize yields and reduce test times.
• Collaborate closely with Test Development, Logistics, and Quality teams to deliver compliant products on time while ensuring strict automotive and industrial quality standards.

Your Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience with semiconductor production test data analysis tools (e.g., YieldMan, Exensio/PDF Solutions, Galaxy Semiconductor, JMP, Spotfire).
• Solid understanding of database structures (SQL, relational databases, STDF data parsers) and proficiency in querying and manipulating structured test data.
• Strong proficiency in statistical methods (SPC, Gauge R&R, ANOVA, Six Sigma methodologies).
• In-depth knowledge of wafer fabrication, assembly processes, and test flows (Wafer Sort and Final Test).
• Structured, precise, and independent approach to analytical problem-solving.
• Good team player with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• Fluent in English; German language skills are a plus

Preferred Qualifications ("Bonus Points")

• Experience working directly with external semiconductor subcontractors and OSATs.
• Scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, R, Perl, Tcl) for test data processing pipelines.
• Knowledge of automotive quality standards (e.g., AEC-Q100, IATF 16949) and assembly packaging processes.
