Job Description
Insight Global is looking for a Principal NPI Product Engineer to take ownership of new product development programs — from early-stage silicon development through full production transfer.

Working closely with cross-functional teams across design, validation, test, characterization, quality, and operations, you will be a key technical contributor and program driver for our client's high-performance optical and analog/mixed-signal IC portfolio in cutting-edge CMOS and BiCMOS technologies.

Key Responsibilities:
• Drive NPI programs from product concept through production release, managing milestones, deliverables, product transfers, and manufacturing readiness.
• Own DfT/DfM strategy and lead development, verification, optimization, and release of ATE test programs in collaboration with test engineering teams.
• Develop and execute product characterization plans, including wafer-level, bench, and ATE testing across PVT conditions, with ATE-to-bench correlation analysis.
• Lead product release activities, including datasheet finalization, production test limit setting, test coverage reviews, guard-banding decisions, and statistical validation of specifications.
• Drive yield analysis and optimization through DOE execution, yield modeling, process capability studies, test-time reduction initiatives, and resolution of yield loss Pareto issues.
• Lead product validation, reliability qualification, failure analysis, and root-cause investigations for manufacturing, field-return, and RMA-related issues, driving corrective actions to closure.
• Partner with foundry, packaging, and OSAT teams to resolve manufacturing challenges while driving quality improvements, cost-reduction initiatives, and continuous product lifecycle enhancements.

Skills and Requirements




• BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field (MS preferred)
• 10+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, test engineering, or design engineering
• Proven ownership of silicon bring-up, characterization, and production transfer programs
• Hands-on experience with ATE test development, ATE-to-bench correlation, and production test limit setting
• Solid foundation in DfT and DfM principles
• Proficiency with statistical analysis tools such as JMP or Excel; scripting/automation in Python, TCL, or equivalent
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills
• Background in analog/mixed-signal or optical IC characterization (TIA, CDR, Limit

Amp, high-speed Ser

Des)
• Familiarity with high-speed ATE platforms such as Advantest or Teradyne
• Experience with JEDEC reliability qualification methodologies (HTOL, HAST, ESD, latch-up)
• Exposure to ATPG, MBIST, or boundary scan DFT flows
• Experience engaging directly with foundry and OSAT partners
