Product Engineering Manager – Power

The Product Engineering Manager will lead the product engineering function for power and highpower semiconductor devices, with a strong focus on device characterization, qualification, releasetoproduction, and yield optimization. This role requires deep expertise in power semiconductor technology and handson experience managing qualification programs for highvoltage/highcurrent devices. The manager will collaborate closely with technology, design, reliability, quality, and operations teams to ensure robust, reliable products that meet global standards and customer expectations.

Key Responsibilities

Product Qualification & Characterization

• Own the qualification strategy, planning, and execution for power and highpower semiconductor devices.
• Lead characterization of new product performance before manufacturing release, including electrical, thermal, and reliability assessments
• Ensure compliance with global standards (e.g., JEDEC, IEC, IEEE) and customerspecific qualification requirements
• Manage RMA / field return analysis in collaboration with quality and reliability teams

Product Engineering Leadership

• Lead and mentor the product engineering team focused on power semiconductor device lifecycle activities, including NPI, qualification, rampup, and sustenance
• Develop and maintain engineering databases, test flows, and documentation frameworks
• Oversee wafer sort and final test data disposition, yield enhancement initiatives, and statistical process control implementation.

CrossFunctional Collaboration

• Collaborate with device design, technology development, packaging, and manufacturing to ensure seamless release into production
• Act as technical liaison between engineering, operations, quality, and customer engineering teams.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and ensure smooth transition from engineering builds to volume manufacturing

Reliability & Failure Analysis

• Work with reliability teams to define, execute, and review reliability stress tests (HTRB, H3TRB, TC, HTOL, power cycling).
• Drive rootcause investigations for failures during qualification or production using FA labs, DOE methodologies, and Six Sigmaaligned practices

Continuous Improvement

• Implement datadriven methods to optimize yield, improve device robustness, and reduce cost.
• Monitor product performance trends and drive corrective/improvement actions.
• Evaluate new tools, methodologies, and workflows to strengthen the product engineering function.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Semiconductor Device Physics, or related fields.
• Minimum 812 years experience in power semiconductor product engineering, including device characterization, qualification, and releasetoproduction
• Knowledge of power semiconductor device physics
• Proven experience in device qualification methodologies, reliability standards, and statistical analysis of power semiconductor performance
• Handson experience with test methodologies, power electronics measurements, and debugging of highpower devices.

Preferred Skills

• Experience working with widebandgap devices (SiC, GaN)
• Familiarity with yield enhancement and SixSigmabased problem solving
• Experience with wafer fabrication, packaging processes, and final test flows for power devices.
• Strong knowledge of SPC, DOE, reliability physics of failure, and qualification roadmapping.

Soft Skills

• Strong leadership capabilities with demonstrated ability to mentor engineering teams.
• Excellent communication skills for crossglobal stakeholder engagement.
• Ability to operate in a fastpaced environment, managing multiple programs simultaneously.
