Semiconductor Product Engineer / ASIC Product Engineer

Semiconductor Product Engineer / ASIC Product Engineer

Job Title: Semiconductor Product Engineer

Experience: 28 Years

Location: Bangalore

Employment Type: Full-Time

Job Summary

We are looking for a Semiconductor Product Engineer with 28 years of semiconductor product engineering experience to support ASIC/CMOS products across the complete product lifecycle, from design and characterization through mass production and End-of-Life (EOL).

The ideal candidate will have strong experience working with ASIC Design, Test, Foundry, and Production teams, along with hands-on exposure to ATE testing, wafer and package-level data collection, yield improvement, test-time reduction, and statistical data analysis.

Experience with Advantest V93000/V93K is highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

Semiconductor Product Engineering

• Support semiconductor/ASIC products throughout the complete lifecycle, from concept and design through mass production and EOL.

• Collaborate closely with:

• CMOS/ASIC Design teams

• Test Engineering teams

• Foundry teams

• Production teams

• Quality teams

• Support product development, characterization, qualification, production ramp-up, and sustaining activities.

• Analyze product performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

ATE & Semiconductor Testing

• Work with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) for semiconductor device testing.
• Develop, debug, execute, and optimize semiconductor production test solutions.
• Experience with Advantest V93000 / V93K is preferred.
• Exposure to other ATE platforms such as Teradyne will be an advantage.
• Analyze ATE test results and identify device, circuit, test, or process-related issues.
• Support test program debugging and optimization.

Wafer & Package-Level Testing

• Support production and characterization data collection at both:

• Wafer level

• Package level

• Analyze wafer-level and package-level test data to identify trends, abnormalities, and failure patterns.

• Support wafer probing and packaged-device testing activities.

• Work closely with production and test teams to resolve test-related issues.

Yield Improvement & Test-Time Optimization

• Analyze production test data to identify yield losses and failure trends.
• Drive yield improvement initiatives through systematic data analysis and root-cause investigation.
• Identify opportunities for test time reduction while maintaining product quality and test coverage.
• Monitor yield, failure rates, test distributions, and other product-performance metrics.
• Collaborate with Design, Test, Foundry, and Production teams to implement corrective actions.

Statistical Data Analysis

• Perform statistical analysis of semiconductor test and production data.

• Analyze large datasets to identify trends, correlations, process variations, and failure patterns.

• Prepare reports and dashboards to communicate product and manufacturing performance.

• Use data analysis tools such as:

• Excel / Excel VBA

• Spotfire

• JMP

• O+

• Galaxy

Debugging & Root-Cause Analysis

• Investigate failures related to systems, circuits, devices, test programs, and manufacturing processes.
• Perform root-cause analysis using production and characterization data.
• Work with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve product issues.
• Support failure analysis, corrective actions, and product improvement initiatives.
• Use analytical and structured problem-solving techniques to resolve complex semiconductor issues.

Quality & Process Control

• Apply knowledge of semiconductor quality processes and automotive standard process controls.
• Support quality and reliability requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
• Ensure production and characterization activities follow defined quality and process-control requirements.
• Collaborate with Quality and Production teams on product and process improvements.

Production & Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with production test floors and manufacturing teams.
• Coordinate product engineering activities across Design, Test, Foundry, Packaging, Quality, and Production.
• Support product ramp-up and transition to high-volume manufacturing.
• Monitor product performance during production and address emerging issues.

Required Qualifications

• BE/B.Tech in Electrical / Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 2–8 years of relevant Semiconductor Product Engineering experience.
• Experience working with CMOS ASIC Design, Test, Foundry, and Production teams.
• Strong understanding of the ASIC product lifecycle, from concept/design through mass production and EOL.
• Experience with semiconductor production and characterization data.
• Experience with wafer-level and package-level testing.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with yield analysis and yield improvement.
• Experience with test time reduction / test optimization.
• Knowledge of statistical data analysis.
