• 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- wide-bandgap power technologies.
• Collaborative, technically focused environment with global reach.
• Long-term stability and professional growth within a world-class engineering organisation.
