Identify potential supply-chain risks early, addressing issues swiftly to keep programmes on track.
Post-Silicon Execution
Lead characterisation and qualification activities across multiple silicon lots.
Shape and oversee functional, parametric, and reliability test plans to confirm device performance.
Ensure all validation work aligns with industry standards and customer expectations.
R&D Collaboration
Work closely with Software, DFT, and Analogue Design teams to define test strategies and product ramp plans.
Maintain consistency between design intent and downstream test execution.
Enable strong feedback loops from silicon evaluation back to engineering teams to drive yield, robustness, and performance improvements.
Programme Planning & Reporting
Utilise project management platforms (e.g., Jira, MS Project) to track timelines, deliverables, and dependencies.
Create and maintain clear reporting dashboards covering progress, risk areas, and key metrics.
Support effective communication across internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
