To support our expanding PowerMOS business we are looking to recruit a Product Engineer to work with our network of foundry partners during the ramp up phases of our new product lines. He/she will be responsible to assess our products potential, derive yield and cost reduction plans and implement them jointly with our foundry partners and our assembly sites.

This will involve leading the activities and managing smaller projects. With your profound knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and fab operations, you will help Nexperia engineer transistors with outstanding performance.

This role is suited for individuals with a high-level motivation and enjoy working with international teams from across Asia and Europe. The role will be based in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

What you will do

• Assume the role of Product Engineer for Power MOS Semiconductor devices, with a focus on PowerMos products

• Lead the weekly yield meetings with foundry and assembly sites

• Write yield summary reports (weekly, monthly)

• Raise early warnings if yield loss causes missing weekly delivery quotas

• Initiate and drive yield loss recovery activities

• Drive task forces (yield loss, quality, reliability, delivery)

• Support the product quality & reliability improvement activities, provide the product expertise to the teams

• Support new product introduction, support volume ramp-ups, do yield monitoring and derive a yield improvement action plan
