The Role:

As Senior Semiconductor Product Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive, design, and manufacture innovative semiconductor solutions for Leo's satellite and ground terminal products. You will work closely with internal inter-disciplinary teams and third-party suppliers to drive key aspects of semiconductor product manufacturing, test, qualification, and reliability to meet our customers' needs. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment.

In this role you will:

• Analyze foundry WAT data from development, corner lots and qual lots.
• Drive test program & coverage reviews with design, test and system teams.
• Collaborate with TE and outsource partner in test program development, bring-up and evaluation.
• Define char plans and corner lots, and then oversee execution of char data collection and analysis at outsource partner.
• Drive bench-ATE correlation plans and execution, and reviews with design, test, systems and DVT teams.
• Interface between outsource partner and design / test teams to identify silicon, test and design bugs, and support fixes during product bring-up.
• Drive test-time reduction by RF-DC and FT-WS correlation and reject-oriented analysis.
• Define qual plans based on evaluation of mission profile and execute to defined qual plans.
• Define test plans and limits for production lots, corners lots, and pre-/post-qualification lots based on system specs, char & qual performance, and yield & Cpk targets.
• Drive optimization of foundry process targeting to balance yield performance across all product blocks to maximize yield response
• Identify root cause and drive fixes for any failures reported during qual.

Export Control Requirement:

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Key job responsibilities

• Support product definition and alignment to system specs and mission profile.
• Drive post-silicon development of custom ICs within the silicon organization.
• Release custom ICs to production meeting quality, test coverage, performance and cost targets.
• Bench data collection and correlation to ATE to de-embed ATE results to bench systems.
• Design qual hardware and qual plan, and execute full qualification of ICs to align with system mission profile.
• Work with outside lab partners for test program bring-up and validation.
• Design corner lot plans to align with design specifications and process technology features.
• Transfer of ATE program from outside lab partners to OSATs, including running GRR assessment to validate gauge capability.

A day in the life

Meet with design and test engineers to review design architecture and test plans.

Review foundry PDKs and wafer level reliability reports.

Work with systems, panel and thermal teams to understand and integrate system mission profile into ASIC characterization and qualification.

Generate detailed plots and reports on Exensio or JMP for team reviews.

Develop, present schedules for post-Si product bring-up and present status to plan.
