Product Engineer

OMNIVISION•Santa Clara, CA

11d

About The Position

• Work on new product introduction and ramp-up of CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) and ASIC products from initial tape-out to mass production. • Collaborate with design, test, reliability, and packaging teams to troubleshoot issues and support product development. • Perform design rule checks and product validation to ensure robust product design; defining new product process criteria and GDS checks for tape-out. • Develop comprehensive product characterization and testing plans with R&D and foundry teams to ensure products performance meets requirements. • Ensure product roadmap success by identifying improvement opportunities through physical/electrical failure analysis, process optimization and defect reduction. • Access pixel performance through statistical analysis of electrical and functional metrics at both wafer- and chip-level testing. • Work with quality engineers to address customer complaints, implement corrective actions, and track improvements after solution implemented to minimize field returns. • Collaborate with different foundries to optimize processes, including silicon, color and packaging processes, enhancing overall product performance. • Work with testing engineers to develop, verify, and release CP and FT testing programs; perform sensors validation on manual testing board. • Improve product yield by process and layout optimization; analyze yield data and drive improvement actions. • Define production testing specifications, ensure product yield on target, and reduce process and test fluctuating issue for timely ramp-up. • Ensure products meet AEC Q-100 standards and other relevant automotive specifications. • Work with foundries to drive continuous yield enhancements, continuous improvement plans (CIP), and best-known-methods (BKM) updates throughout the product lifecycle. • Deliver cutting-edge CIS solutions for the automotive industry.

Requirements
