Product Engineering Manager - Power

About the job

The Product Engineering Manager will lead the product engineering function for power and high‑power semiconductor devices, with a strong focus on device characterization, qualification, release‑to‑production, and yield optimization. This role requires deep expertise in power semiconductor technology and hands‑on experience managing qualification programs for high‑voltage/high‑current devices. The manager will collaborate closely with technology, design, reliability, quality, and operations teams to ensure robust, reliable products that meet global standards and customer expectations. Key Responsibilities Product Qualification & Characterization • Own the qualification strategy, planning, and execution for power and high‑power semiconductor devices. • Lead characterization of new product performance before manufacturing release, including electrical, thermal, and reliability assessments • Ensure compliance with global standards (e.g., JEDEC, IEC, IEEE) and customer‑specific qualification requirements • Manage RMA / field return analysis in collaboration with quality and reliability teams Product Engineering Leadership • Lead and mentor the product engineering team focused on power semiconductor device lifecycle activities, including NPI, qualification, ramp‑up, and sustenance • Develop and maintain engineering databases, test flows, and documentation frameworks • Oversee wafer sort and final test data disposition, yield enhancement initiatives, and statistical process control implementation. Cross‑Functional Collaboration • Collaborate with device design, technology development, packaging, and manufacturing to ensure seamless release into production • Act as technical liaison between engineering, operations, quality, and customer engineering teams. • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and ensure smooth transition from engineering builds to volume manufacturing Reliability & Failure Analysis • Work with reliability teams to define, execute, and review reliability stress tests (HTRB, H3TRB, TC, HTOL, power cycling). • Drive root‑cause investigations for failures during qualification or production using FA labs, DOE methodologies, and Six Sigma‑aligned practices Continuous Improvement • Implement data‑driven methods to optimize yield, improve device robustness, and reduce cost. • Monitor product performance trends and drive corrective/improvement actions. • Evaluate new tools, methodologies, and workflows to strengthen the product engineering function. Required Qualifications • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Semiconductor Device Physics, or related fields. • Minimum 8–12 years experience in power semiconductor product engineering, including device characterization, qualification, and release‑to‑production. • Knowledge of power semiconductor device physics • Proven experience in device qualification methodologies, reliability standards, and statistical analysis of power semiconductor performance • Hands‑on experience with test methodologies, power electronics measurements, and debugging of high‑power devices. Preferred Skills • Experience working with wide‑bandgap devices (SiC, GaN) • Familiarity with yield enhancement and Six‑Sigma‑based problem solving • Experience with wafer fabrication, packaging processes, and final test flows for power devices. • Strong knowledge of SPC, DOE, reliability physics of failure, and qualification road‑mapping. Soft Skills • Strong leadership capabilities with demonstrated ability to mentor engineering teams. • Excellent communication skills for cross‑global stakeholder engagement. • Ability to operate in a fast‑paced environment, managing multiple programs simultaneously.
