Semiconductor Product Operations Engineer: NPI & Yield

DensityAI, Inc.; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 200,000 - 285,000; Full time

Job summary

DensityAI, Inc. seeks a Product Engineer / Product Operations Engineer to bridge design, test, manufacturing, and customers, helping stand up the product-engineering / product-operations function from the ground up.

You will own products from first silicon through qualification, ramp, and sustaining to drive yield, test quality, cost, and supply. You will partner with DFT, design, and test teams, establish foundry/OSAT relationships, manage NPI and ramp, and lead data-driven improvements across

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Materials/Semiconductor Engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on experience in semiconductor product engineering, test engineering, or operations for complex digital/SoC/ASIC products.
• Strong understanding of the semiconductor manufacturing flow—wafer fab, wafer sort, assembly, and final test.

Responsibilities

• Own assigned products across the full lifecycle: NPI, characterization, qualification, ramp, and sustaining.
• Drive yield analysis and improvement—monitor wafer sort and final test yield, lead failure analysis and root-cause efforts.
• Own the multi-die yield story—KGD sorting, die-to-package matching and binning, yield across assembly/packaging.
• Manage test program quality and optimization across wafer sort, final test, and SLT; drive test time reduction and cost trade-offs.
• Lead silicon characterization across PVT corners; define specs, shmoo analysis, datasheet correlation.
• Own product qualification (HTOL, HAST, TC, ESD) and reliability sign-off per JEDEC standards.
• Establish and drive production operations: lot disposition, capacity and WIP, binning/grading; coordinate with foundry/OSAT.
• Monitor production data—SPC, yield dashboards, and statistical analysis to detect excursions and drive CAPA.
• Lead 8D/CAPA, containment, root-cause, and RMA handling; drive cost-reduction initiatives.
