In short
Amazon is hiring a Senior Post-Silicon Product Engineer for its Silicon Systems Group to lead post-silicon validation, characterization, and production ramp activities. This role involves deep semiconductor product lifecycle understanding, data analysis, test optimization, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure product performance and quality meet the highest standards.
Responsibilities
- Lead the bring-up and characterization of new silicon, ensuring functionality and performance meet design specifications.
- Develop and execute detailed validation plans, including defining test methodologies, coverage metrics, and corner conditions.
- Define and validate silicon and ATE-level test coverage, ensuring comprehensive validation aligned with customer application scenarios.
- Analyze data from WAT, wafer sort, ATE, and system-level tests to identify trends, anomalies, and systematic issues.
- Implement automation pipelines for data analysis across the test flow to improve traceability, root-cause identification, and feedback into design and test.
- Develop and implement strategies that align test environments and methodologies with defined yield, quality, and performance objectives.
- Apply advanced data analytics—including regression, correlation, and predictive modelling—to optimize test efficiency and drive yield improvements.
- Collaborate with design and test engineering teams to develop and optimize test programs for wafer and package-level testing.
- Partner with ATE engineers to debug test failures, refine test coverage, and identify limitations in test hardware/software infrastructure.
- Lead test time reduction and cost optimization initiatives while maintaining required test coverage and quality standards.
- Collaborate with Design, SoC, DFT, Reliability, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to resolve silicon issues and support successful product ramp.
- Lead structured failure analysis and root cause investigations to address quality, reliability, and customer-return issues.
- Coordinate with cross-functional leaders to ensure alignment on key product KPIs such as yield, DPPM, quality escapes, and production readiness.
- Generate comprehensive engineering reports detailing validation results, failure analyses, and recommended actions.
- Maintain accurate records of test methodologies, data analyses, and process changes.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Experience communicating technical details verbally and in writing
- Minimum 8 years of experience in post-silicon validation, product engineering, or semiconductor development roles.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor testing methodologies, including ATE, wafer sort, and SLT.
- Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, validation, characterization, and debug.
- Proficiency in data analysis tools such as JMP, Python, and SQL.
- Familiarity with statistical methods such as SPC, CPK, DOE, and other yield improvement methodologies.
- Strong problem-solving skills, including root cause analysis across silicon, package, and system levels.
- Experience working in high-volume manufacturing environments, supporting NPI (New Product Introduction) to mass production transition.
Desired Qualifications
- Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field
- Experience with reliability testing standards (e.g., HTOL, HAST, TC) and failure analysis methodologies.
- Knowledge of wafer fabrication and packaging processes.
- Familiarity with defining test coverage for critical IP blocks and validating against customer use cases.
- Experience using AWS cloud tools — including Lambda functions, SageMaker, and QuickSight — for data analysis and automation.
- Exposure to system-level validation, including correlation between silicon behavior and system-level performance.
- Experience collaborating with SoC Design, DFT, Debug Leads, Reliability, and Quality teams.
- Strong understanding of customer RMA handling and product sustenance strategies.
- Experience with end-to-end product ownership from early silicon evaluation through to high-volume production.
