Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical field; an advanced degree or equivalent experience is welcome.
5–7.5 years of experience in semiconductor product engineering or a closely related technical role, with familiarity across test, validation, design support, manufacturing, quality, applications, or operations.
Solid understanding of analog, mixed-signal, or semiconductor product fundamentals, and the ability to learn new technologies and apply engineering judgment across the product lifecycle.
Ability to lead technical work, manage priorities, coordinate cross-functional teams, and move projects forward in a fast-paced environment.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including interpreting data, identifying trends, isolating root causes, and recommending practical solutions.
Hands-on experience with lab equipment, product debug, test data, validation, characterization, or manufacturing support.
Ability to read and interpret datasheets, design specifications, test plans, qualification reports, and customer requirements.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to summarize complex technical topics for technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with analog or mixed-signal semiconductor products, including amplifiers, data converters, power-management devices, sensors, interface products, and automotive or industrial ICs; product engineering experience is an advantage.
