Senior Engineer, Product Engineering (Manufacturing)

Analog Devices•San Jose, CA

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) is a global semiconductor leader that bridges the physical and digital worlds to enable breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. ADI combines analog, digital, and software technologies into solutions that help drive advancements in digitized factories, mobility, and digital healthcare, combat climate change, and reliably connect humans and the world. With revenue of more than $9 billion in FY24 and approximately 24,000 people globally, ADI ensures today's innovators stay Ahead of What's Possible™. This role manages new product introduction and volume production support engineering for specific products after transfer from design to in-house or outsourced production. The engineer will interface with design, process, test, reliability, and manufacturing engineering to solve product and production issues as products move through their lifecycle. The role also involves developing and sustaining process improvements to reduce production costs and increase yields, conducting low yield root cause analysis, and performing data analysis on yield, test data, and fabrication electrical device and tool data. Circuit analysis using electronic design tools and evaluation using precision measurement equipment are also key aspects of this position. The goal is to drive future preventive actions and solutions to improve test, design, and processes for optimal quality and cost. This position offers partial telecommute benefits (2 days/week work from home).

Requirements

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Device Physics or a closely related technical discipline and two (2) years of experience as a product engineer or related occupation performing mixed signal circuit debugging and physical failure analysis.
Demonstrated Experience (DE) analyzing manufacturing statistics using Klarity ACE, Galaxy Examinator, and PDF Solutions Exensio to perform correlation analysis between fab process data and yield, and pareto analysis to identify the top failing events.
DE performing mixed integrated circuit (IC) and modeling and simulation using Cadence, Avalon, Console, and Advanced Design System (ADS).
DE performing evaluation and characterization using bench test equipment including signal generators, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and power meters controlled and automated by Python/LabView/Teststand and/or other programming languages
DE performing failure analysis of analog/mixed signal integrated circuits by conducting fault isolation using techniques such as OBIRCH, EMMI, X-Ray and Thermal Hotspot and leveraging principles of semiconductor device physics and transistor level analog circuit.
DE performing mechanical and chemical de-processing, parallel polishing, utilizing high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) and focused ion beam (FIB) and related techniques such as passive voltage contrast (PVC), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and in-situ nanoprobing to characterize and interpret the microstructure and material properties of the semiconductor device
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across different organizations to drive problem resolution.

Responsibilities

Manage new product introduction and volume production support engineering for a specific product or group of products after transferring from design to in-house or outsourced production.
