With a focus on automotive and industrial end-markets, the company is accelerating change in megatrends such as vehicle electrification and safety, sustainable energy grids, industrial automation, and 5G and cloud infrastructure. With a highly differentiated and innovative product portfolio, onsemi creates intelligent power and sensing technologies that solve the world's most complex challenges and leads the way in creating a safer, cleaner, and smarter world.

This product engineering team in the intelligent sensing group is responsible for the success of mass production parts, including quality, yield, performance, manufacturing, and customer technical support. The team is also responsible for safe launch by planning, executing, analyzing, and completing the phase. The applicant will be responsible for understanding the requirements of the product in the new product development phase, and ensuring the product meets those requirements as it transitions to mass production.

The engineer will be exposed to various silicon technologies used in image sensors and processors, including silicon and color filter array processes, and will heavily utilize data analysis and statistical tools. The engineer will also characterize and analyze products on bench top testers and should be comfortable using various meters and test equipment. The engineer must be familiar with test concepts, design of experiment, and the concept of quality coverage vs cost of test, as well as basics of CMOS image sensor architecture and function. The candidate must be experienced with root cause and corrective action analysis, and ideally have experience with 8D generation and associated analysis tools like 5-whys, Ishikawa, FMEA, etc. The engineer will interact with various organizations including NPD, design, marketing, manufacturing, and planning.

The ideal candidate has experience with automotive industry safety standards and technologies like ASIL, and safe launch requirements and processes, and must be comfortable auditing the performance of a product in ramp phase against safe launch requirements and assessing its qualification against those requirements. They also will have experience with quality testing concepts like outlier detection.

This position has these core responsibilities:

• Improve and maintain probe and package test yield
• Improve quality and respond to customer return requests by finding root causes and putting in corrective actions and containments
• Support manufacturing and planning to ensure we can ship product and meet deliverables
• Transition each product from NPD phase to mass production, solving technical problems that affect yield, quality, and manufacturability, and finding creative solutions when these 3 areas conflict with each other.
• Interface and occasionally meet virtually with team members across time zones
