About the role

Owns manufacturing test strategy for RF semiconductor devices at pSemi. Collaborates cross-functionally to drive improvements in yield, test time, and cost-of-test.

Responsibilities

Owns the manufacturing test strategy and standards for RF semiconductor devices, from NPI through high-volume manufacturing and governs cross-site deployment at internal and OSAT facilities to deliver measurable improvements in yield, DPPM, test time, and cost-of-test.
Define and govern test architecture, qualification criteria, and release standards for ATE, probers/handlers, and fixtures; lead cross site correlation and signoff for production release.
Own the OSAT engagement model (release gates, audit readiness) and drive adoption of standardized test flows and data pipelines across all partner sites.
Act as technical escalation owner for high severity production incidents; lead structured problem solving (DOE/SPC/8D) and institutionalize corrective standards to prevent recurrence.
Lead cross functional teams (Design/DFT, Product, Quality, Reliability, Ops) to eliminate systemic yield limiters and optimize guard banding/coverage with quantified risk tradeoffs.
Drive projects, programs, and company initiatives from planning through tactical execution.
Codify and deploy continuous improvement standards (e.g., test debug procedures, hardware design best practices, standardized test methodologies) and mentor engineers in their application.
Influence ATE vendor roadmaps (e.g., instrumentation, multisite, RF capabilities) and partner with Design/DFT to set DFT for manufacturability requirements and release criteria.

8-12 years of Semiconductor Test/Product/Manufacturing Engineering experience
Demonstrated ownership of NPItoHVM ramps across multiple sites/OSATs, delivering ≥20% test time reduction and measurable DPPM/yield improvements.
Expert on NI STS, Advantest V93000 and/or Teradyne UltraFLEX (or equivalent) including program development, correlation, guard banding, and PVT characterization.
Strong RF test depth (EVM, ACPR, NF, linearity; Sparam/Smith chart, impedance match), test hardware (load boards, contactors, probe cards), and automation (Python/C/C++/LabVIEW; PXI/GPIB).
Leadership: mentoring engineers; leading cross functional initiatives; authoring standards adopted org-wide.
