Product Engineering Manager | Power Semiconductors
A global semiconductor manufacturer is seeking an experienced Product Engineering Manager to lead the development and release of next-generation power semiconductor devices, including advanced wide-bandgap technologies. This role offers full technical ownership of product engineering, from characterization and yield improvement to process control and production release.
What you’ll be working on
* Leading the product engineering team and collaborating with technology and product development teams to deliver manufacturing-ready devices.
* Characterizing new product performance ahead of production release.
* Developing and maintaining engineering databases for device characterization and production tracking.
* Establishing and monitoring Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems for production products.
* Managing wafer sort and final test disposition processes.
* Driving yield enhancement and supporting failure analysis activities.
* Supporting new product introduction (NPI) and transfer from development to volume production.
* Managing change control for products in production.
* Working with reliability and quality teams to analyse RMA customer returns and implement corrective actions.
What they’re looking for
* PhD or Master’s degree in Semiconductor Device or Material Physics, or a closely related field.
* Minimum 10 years of experience in power semiconductor engineering, ideally across both silicon and wide-bandgap (SiC/GaN) devices.
* In-depth understanding of the semiconductor product lifecycle, including device characterization, qualification, production release, and sustenance.
* Strong analytical skills in evaluating and characterizing power semiconductor devices.
* Experience with SiC or other wide-bandgap semiconductor devices is highly desirable.
* Background in yield analysis, circuit debug, and Six Sigma quality practices is advantageous.
* Demonstrated ability to approach problems logically and develop creative, data-driven solutions.
* Strong communication skills, with proven success in leading cross-functional and international project teams.
What’s on offer
* Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
* Opportunity to lead the introduction of next-generation wide-bandgap power technologies.
* Collaborative, technically focused environment with global reach.
* Long-term stability and professional growth within a world-class engineering organisation.
