Silicon Product and Test Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Silicon Product and Test Engineer based in Canada.

Join an innovative hardware engineering team focused on developing next-generation silicon solutions powering advanced computing and digital infrastructure technologies. This role offers the opportunity to lead post-silicon productization activities, from initial silicon bring-up to high-volume manufacturing, while working on highly complex ASIC products deployed at scale. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across design, systems, manufacturing, and external partners to optimize performance, yield, and product quality. The position combines hands-on engineering challenges with strategic decision-making, offering significant ownership and visibility. It is ideal for professionals who thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex technical problems, and are passionate about building cutting-edge semiconductor products from concept to production.

• Lead post-silicon bring-up, characterization, qualification, and productization efforts from first silicon through mass production readiness.
• Develop and optimize wafer sort and final test strategies to improve yield, power efficiency, product quality, and manufacturing performance.
• Create, debug, and maintain automated test programs and production screening methodologies for advanced-node ASICs.
• Define and execute characterization plans across process, voltage, and temperature conditions while driving data-based optimization initiatives.
• Analyze silicon data from multiple platforms, including ATE, bench testing, and system environments, to improve correlation and identify root causes.
• Coordinate design of experiments (DOE), process tuning initiatives, and system-level performance optimization activities.
• Partner closely with design, firmware, reliability, manufacturing, foundry, and OSAT teams to support qualification and production scaling.
• Develop dashboards and KPI frameworks to monitor yield, process variation, performance metrics, and overall product quality.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 5–10 years of experience in Product Engineering, Test Engineering, Silicon Validation, or Post-Silicon Engineering within semiconductor environments.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing flows, including wafer sort, final test, qualification processes, and high-volume manufacturing.
• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, characterization, yield analysis, and qualification of ASICs or SoCs.
• Experience working with ATE platforms such as Advantest 93K, Chroma, or equivalent systems.
• Proficiency with statistical analysis and debugging tools such as Python, JMP, or similar frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of DOE methodologies, silicon correlation techniques, and yield optimization strategies.
• Familiarity with semiconductor device physics, advanced process technologies, and system-level characterization methodologies is considered an asset.
• Experience with scripting and automation tools such as Python, Perl, or TCL is desirable.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to operate effectively in fast-moving and ambiguous environments.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package with salary ranging from CAD $125,900 to $188,900, depending on experience, skills, and location.
• Flexible remote work opportunities supporting strong work-life balance.
• Comprehensive medical, health, and wellness coverage.
• Retirement savings programs and long-term financial planning benefits.
• Flexible paid time off and generous leave policies.
• Family-focused benefits and modern family planning support.
• Career development opportunities within a highly innovative and rapidly growing technology environment.
• Inclusive workplace culture that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
