Hardware Product Engineer

7 days ago Sunnyvale, CA

This role is for a highly technical Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) who leads the end-to-end lifecycle of semiconductor based display -from initial silicon bring-up and characterization to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). You will integrate hardware expertise in relevant fields (such as semiconductor devices, EE, displays) with advanced data analytics to drive product success.

Hardware Product Engineer Responsibilities:

  • Lead the transition of products from design to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). Collaborate with design teams to ensure Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) requirements are met
  • Monitor and analyze wafer sort and final test data. Use statistical methods (Gage R&R, SPC) to identify root causes of yield loss and implement corrective actions
  • Collaborate with system design, packaging, and process teams to resolve integration, reliability, and performance challenges in early-stage prototypes and production systems
  • Create and perform DoEs to uncover device issues' root cause, propose remedy, get alignment from cross functional partners, and execute to their implementation
  • Collaborate with Test Engineering to optimize test programs and test methods to reduce test time without compromising quality or coverage
  • Drive the validation of key performance indicators of integrated display solutions under nominal and corner-case operating conditions
  • Perform analysis electrical characterization across process corners, voltage, and temperature (PVT) to define datasheet specifications
  • Define and execute reliability and qualification test plans for new display technologies in accordance with relevant industry standards and technology requirements
  • Drive root cause investigation of internal and customer returns. Interface with the failure analysis lab to interpret SEM, EDX, or EMMI results
  • Manage technical relationships with OSAT (Out-Sourced Assembly and Test), CM (Contract Manufacturing), and foundries to ensure manufacturing consistency
  • Define and create data pipelines and dashboards for commonly referenced metrics and KPIs
  • facilitate the democratization of data to cross functional teams
