Our client is a global leader in power semiconductors with a broad portfolio of transistors that addresses the needs of today’s most demanding industries, including data center servers, renewable energy systems, automotive, industrial motors, and consumer electronics. Due to company growth, they are adding a Product Engineer to their team. This position can be remote for US candidates with occasional travel to the team in Ottawa.

As a Product Engineer, you will analyze the probe/final data using data analysis techniques to find potentially bad products before shipping to customers. This includes: design new test plans for the new products, analyze the existing ones using existing screening methods, or provide innovative ideas to find out root cause of any problem in the manufacturing process. You will interact with design/operations/Fabs to support continuous yield improvements in Company products. You will develop screening techniques, procedures, and capabilities to further enhance the product’s yield in addition to meet the qualification requirements. It is part of your job to bring innovative ideas to reduce production costs by changing the screening methods. As a Product Engineer, you will be part of the production group, performing product related issues of Company products and dealing with customers.
