Responsibilities:

• Support NPI programs and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Design, Test, Characterization, Validation, Quality, Applications, and Operations (25%).

• Assist in defining Design for Testability (DfT) and Design for Manufacturability (DfM) requirements for new products under senior engineer guidance (35%).

• Contribute to product characterization, data analysis, yield modeling, and test optimization, performing correlation studies and design of experiments (DOE) with mentorship (30%).

• Support monitoring of manufacturing quality, failure analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives, assisting with root cause investigations and corrective actions (10%).

Minimum Qualifications:

• BSc in Electrical Engineering or related field; MSc a plus

• 2+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, test engineering, or design engineering; internship or co-op experience considered

• Foundational knowledge of semiconductor physics and analog/mixed-signal IC design principles

• Basic familiarity with statistical analysis tools (e.g., Excel, JMP, Python) and data interpretation

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Desired Qualifications:

• Exposure to DfT, DfM, and ATE test methodologies

• Familiarity with high-speed digital ATE platforms (Advantest, Teradyne) or bench test equipment

• Awareness of semiconductor qualification processes and reliability testing methodologies (JEDEC, HTOL, ESD, Latch-up)

• Interest in developing technical expertise and professional growth in semiconductor product engineering

Career Growth Philosophy:
At Semtech, we believe that innovation starts with people. We are committed to empowering professional development through mentorship, continuous learning resources, and a collaborative, idea-rich engineering environment.
