Own Product-Level Engineering Decisions

• Define and maintain the Product Technical Requirements Document (PTRD/PTS) for Si/SiC/GaN discrete devices.


• Identify and evaluate candidate process technologies for feasibility and risk.


• Develop system-level models to validate product architecture and performance.


• Estimate die size, CLC, and total manufacturing cost for business case alignment.


• Create and maintain a preliminary risk register with mitigation strategies.

Lead Cross-Functional Design Execution

• Drive creation of Functional Interface Tool (FIT) for new die.


• Oversee package electrical and mechanical modeling for discrete packages.


• Validate product-level performance through 3D modeling and simulation.


• Coordinate design FMEA and implement Best Known Methods (BKMs).


• Facilitate product design reviews and acceptance gates.


• Develop and approve product design validation plans.


• Ensure achievement of process and product design freeze milestones.


• Provide design rules and resolve technical issues for product qualification and release.


• Define target yields and associated risk factors.

Drive Engineering Execution and Decision-Making

• Chair weekly project team meetings for problem solving, prioritizing issues and making timely decisions.


• Act as the single point of accountability for engineering deliverables and present to stakeholder review.

Ensure Smooth Handoff to Manufacturing

• Support transition from development to high-volume manufacturing post product release.


• Validate readiness of processes, documentation, and quality standards.

• Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics or Materials Science.


• 10+ years of semiconductor discrete power device development (Si, SiC).


• Strong knowledge of device physics, packaging, and reliability for discrete products.


• Leadership capability to influence and lead teams across functional organizations.


• Excellent communication skills to represent engineering activities to executive leadership.
