Sr. Test and Product Development Engineer – WBG power semiconductors

EPC Space LLC.; Andover (MA); Vor Ort; USD 110.000 - 140.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

EPC Space LLC is seeking a Sr. Test and Product Development Engineer to advance WBG GaN power devices for space and defense applications. You will develop and support test hardware, drive yields, and manage back-end packaging qualifications through production.

Reporting to the VP of Engineering, you will lead NPI qualifications, collaborate across design, process, and quality teams, and help implement continuous improvements in reliability and test programs.

Qualifikationen

• Knowledge of power semiconductor products and testing techniques.
• Proficiency in test development, including custom fixtures and dedicated bench test setups (hardware + automation).
• Familiarity with reliability testing and standards.
• Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills for internal collaboration.

Aufgaben

• Test Development and Support: Develop and oversee test hardware/program development for ATE, ensuring coverage for functional, parametric, and system-level testing.
• Yield Improvement and Optimization: Analyze assembly and test data to drive yield enhancements, reduce defects, and optimize processes in internal facilities.
• Product Lifecycle Management: Oversee the full back-end process from wafer receipt through assembly, testing, and packaging qualification to volume production and sustainment.
• New Product Introduction (NPI): Coordinate qualification of new devices, including process development, test program validation, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing.
• Quality and Reliability Engineering: Perform failure analysis, root cause investigations, and reliability qualifications.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Work with design, process integration, fab operations, and quality teams to resolve issues.
• Sustaining Engineering: Monitor production metrics, handle excursions, implement corrective actions, and support end-of-life or portfolio management.

About EPC Space

EPC Space is a joint venture between Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) and VPT, Inc. (a HEICO company). We specialize in designing and manufacturing radiation-hardened (Rad Hard) gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors, ICs, and modules for satellite, deep space, and other harsh-environment applications.

Our enhancement-mode GaN devices deliver superior efficiency, smaller size, lighter weight, and better radiation performance compared to traditional silicon MOSFETs. They power critical space systems including DC-DC converters, motor drives, LIDAR, and ion thrusters. Join us in bringing revolutionary GaN technology to the next generation of space missions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Test Development and Support: Develop and oversee test hardware/program development for ATE (Automated Test Equipment), ensuring coverage for functional, parametric, and system-level testing.
• Yield Improvement and Optimization: Analyze assembly and test data to drive yield enhancements, reduce defects, and optimize processes in internal facilities. Collaborate closely with front-end fab and design teams for holistic improvements.
• Product Lifecycle Management: Oversee the full back-end process from wafer receipt through assembly, testing, and packaging qualification to volume production and sustainment.
• New Product Introduction (NPI): Coordinate qualification of new devices, including process development, test program validation, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing. Ensure seamless handoff from R&D/design to production.
• Quality and Reliability Engineering: Perform failure analysis, root cause investigations, and reliability qualifications. Manage product qualifications and compliance for internal standards.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Work directly with design, process integration, fab operations, and quality teams to resolve issues. Support product changes, cost reductions, and continuous improvement (e.g., Six Sigma projects)
• Sustaining Engineering: Monitor production metrics, handle excursions, implement corrective actions, and support end-of-life or portfolio management for mature products

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Experience: 3-8+ years in semiconductor test and or back-end processes (assembly, packaging).
• Required Skills:
  • Knowledge of power semiconductor products and testing techniques
  • Proficiency in test development, including custom fixtures and dedicated bench test setups (hardware + automation)
  • Familiarity with reliability testing and standards
  • Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills for internal collaboration.

Reports to: VP of Engineering

Location: Andover, MA

What We Offer

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, performance-based incentives tied to awards and pipeline growth, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to play a high-impact role in expanding federal business for innovative radiation-hardened technologies serving critical space and defense missions.
