• Establish and enforce assembly workmanship standards, ensuring compliance with IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies).
• Drive cross‑functional alignment across Design, Test, Quality, and Manufacturing to enable scalable, high‑yield module production.
• Lead resolution of assembly‑related excursions, including die attach, clip attach, solder integrity, and module‑level defects.
• Lead product bring‑up, characterization, and silicon readiness in partnership with Design, Test, and Applications teams.
• Define and maintain product specifications, limits, and guard‑bands based on silicon behavior and manufacturing capability.
• Lead yield analysis, parametric trend monitoring, and root‑cause investigations.
• Drive cost, yield, and cycle‑time improvement through data‑driven analysis.
• Own manufacturing release, qualification execution, and product change management (PCNs).
• Serve as the technical escalation owner for production issues, customer returns, and corrective actions.
• Support critical customer engagements on product, quality, and manufacturing topics as needed.
• Provide 10% travel.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree required in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline preferred. Mechanical Engineering degree preferred, particularly for roles involving module packaging, thermomechanical behavior, and assembly optimization.
• Experience & Skills:
  • 10+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, manufacturing engineering, or test engineering, with demonstrated ownership from NPI through high‑volume production.
  • Strong technical depth in semiconductor power products and advanced power module manufacturing.
  • Strong data analysis skills with the ability to interpret statistical results and drive decisions.
  • Working knowledge of new product development, qualification, and high‑volume manufacturing transfer.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with customers and cross‑functional teams.
  • Proven ability to lead complex technical decisions, escalations, and execution across organizations.
