Job Description

Position Summary

Connectivity organization is seeking a Staff Product Engineer to provide end-to-end ownership from engineering material planning through product release and volume-production support. It serves as the central coordination point for engineering supply while also driving product readiness, quality, yield and cost performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Initiate and track prototype assembly builds, including assembly priorities, material availability and schedule alignment.
• Create and maintain product BOMs and product lifecycle data in PLM systems such as Agile.
• Publish timely NPI schedules, risks, constraints and status updates to product teams through daily, weekly and milestone-based communication.
• Work with planning, manufacturing, subcontractors and operations teams to remove material-flow obstacles and recover schedule gaps.
• Ensure a controlled hand-off from NPI to mass production, including engineering-lot conversion, material readiness and production-planning alignment.
• Own the assigned product lifecycle from concept and first silicon through qualification, production release, sustaining and end of life.
• Define ATE test, qualification and manufacturing plans to demonstrate datasheet compliance and production readiness.
• Drive first-silicon bring-up and debug with Design, Test, Applications and Failure Analysis teams.
• Plan and coordinate voltage, temperature and process characterization, including production limit setting and guard-banding.
• Own qualification planning and execution in accordance with applicable JEDEC and AEC requirements.
• Prepare product-release documentation, datasheet compliance evidence and automotive compliance reports as applicable.
• Monitor production data and use statistical analysis to identify and correct yield, quality and test-time deficiencies.
• Optimise PAT, SYL, SBL, SPC and disposition limits to protect outgoing quality without creating excessive manufacturing waste.
• Drive product cost and gross-margin improvement through yield enhancement, test optimization, BOM control and manufacturing efficiency.
