Senior Product Development Engineer - Product Engineering

THE ROLE:

We are the Central Engineering team providing test solutions for Enterprise New

Product Introduction (NPI) under the Product Engineering Organization. We do exciting

product development for leading-edge technology that willpower the next generation processors

used for high performance computing, data centers, and enterprise servers.

As a Senior Product Development Engineer, you will provide technical leadership in silicon bring-

up, characterization, product definition, and yield optimization for next-generation

products. You will mentor junior engineers, drive cross-functional problem-solving, and

influence product strategy through data-driven insights and deep technical ownership. This

role spans device characterization, yield analysis, test content optimization, and product

definition to ensure robust ramp-to-production and world-class quality.

THE PERSON:

We're looking for an engineer with strong technical depth and a passion for driving solutions

across complex problems. Someone who not only learns continuously but also actively shares

expertise and elevates the capabilities of the broader team. The ideal candidate brings a data-

driven mindset, approaches ambiguity with confidence, and consistently turns analysis into

clear direction and action. The engineer should be an effective communicator — able to

influence partners across global teams, articulate technical insights, and drive alignment

among diverse stakeholders. We value someone who is proactive, highly collaborative, and

comfortable leading discussions, mentoring junior engineers, and contributing to a culture of

excellence. This person thrives in fast-paced NPI environments, takes ownership of outcomes,

and plays a key role in enabling overall team and product success.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Silicon Characterization & Debug: Lead the development and execution of comprehensive

characterization plans across PVT corners. Analyze complex electrical behaviors,

parametric shifts, system sensitivities, and failure signatures. Drive root-cause

investigations and collaborate with design, test, and diagnostics teams to close issues.

• Yield Engineering: Own yield learning for early silicon; identify systemic issues, propose

fixes, and validate improvements. Track and interpret yield trends across defectivity,

structural, and parametric components. Guide test content owners on pattern health,

coverage gaps, and debug prioritization.

• Product Definition: Define or refine OPNs, fuse maps, binning schemes,

performance/power guard-bands, and speed-bin rules. Align product definition with

business goals, technical feasibility, and manufacturing capability. Partner with

cross-functional teams to ensure final definitions translate to robust distribution and yield

targets.

• Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Mentor PDE1/PDE2 engineers in debug, data

analysis, and test methodologies. Provide technical guidance across multiple feature

domains or product lines. Drive clear communication in line with product milestone

reviews.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Extensive silicon bring-up experience, including leading debug for complex electrical issues
• and multi-domain interactions.
• Proven yield analysis expertise, with ability to identify patterns, systematics, and root
• causes in early ramp phases.
• Experience owning or contributing to product binning, OPN strategy, guard-band tuning,
• or power/performance correlation.
• Strong background in data automation, statistical modeling, or production analytics
• pipelines.
• Experience optimizing or architecting test flows, debug infrastructure, or test content
• strategies.
• Cross-functional leadership experience in working with design, test development,
• diagnostics, foundry, reliability, or device analysis teams.
• Track record of driving improvements in test time, yield, coverage, or debug efficiency
• through innovation or process enhancements.
• Ability to act as a technical mentor, guiding junior engineers in analysis, methodology, and
• best practices.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• BS/MS Electrical Engineering, ComputerEngineering, or comparable disciplines
• Prior experience in Product Engineering, Test Engineering, or similar semiconductor roles.
