Principal Product Engineer

About the role

Nexperia is a dedicated global leader in Discretes, Logic and MOSFETs devices.

To support our expanding PowerMOS business we are looking to recruit a Product Engineer to work with our network of foundry partners during the ramp up phases of our new product lines. He/she will be responsible to assess our products potential, derive yield and cost reduction plans and implement them jointly with our foundry partners and our assembly sites.

This will involve leading the activities and managing of smaller projects. With your profound knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and fab operations, you will help Nexperia engineer transistors with outstanding performance.

This role is suited for individuals with a high-level motivation and enjoy working with international teams from across Asia and Europe. The role will be based in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

What you will do

• Assume the role as Product Engineer for Power MOS Semiconductor devices, with the focus on PowerMos products
• Define the yield roadmaps, derive the yield improvement plans and implement them jointly with wafer foundries and backends.
• Product Yield Engineering: Monitor, sustain and improve the yield of relevant products.
• Lead the weekly yield meetings with foundry and assembly sites
• Write yield summary reports (weekly, monthly).
• Raise early warnings if yield loss causes to miss weekly delivery quotas.
• Initiate and drive yield loss recovery activities.
• Drive task forces (yield loss, quality, reliability, delivery)
• Support the product quality & reliability improvement activities, provide the product expertise to the teams.
• Support new product introduction, support volume ramp ups, do yield monitoring and derive a yield improvement action plan.
• Drive cost reduction initiatives, drive cost reduction projects within the foundries and identify opportunities for supply chain improvements.
• Assist in specifying the products test specification for wafer- and product testing and in reviewing of the existing.
• Write the Technical Purchasing Specifications (TPS) for new products, and sustain the existing document set.
• Be a member of the joint Nexperia & Foundry Production Change Review Boards (PCRB).
• Support the evaluation of new foundry partners. Jointly assess foundry’s production capabilities for present and new products & technologies.

What you will need

• Bachelor degree or higher in Semiconductor Physics, Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics or equivalent.
• Good knowledge in the physics of Discrete Power MOS semiconductor devices and Technologies, preferable in Trench n-MOS and Trench p-MOS.
• Strong hands on know-how in statistical data analysis. Willing to do elaborate data crunching and analyses (Exensio software).
• Familiar with 8D and FMEA.
• Hands on experience in the basic testing of Discrete Power MOSFET’s is an additional advantage (wafer, or assembled).
• Familiar in the use of MS-Office tools. Able to write basic Excel VBA scripts is an advantage.
• Must be a team player and a good communicator. Must work under time constraints in an international team setup.
• Willing to travel to Asia and within Europe.
