Senior NPI Product Engineer

Our Team

Semtech’s New Product Introduction (NPI) Product Engineering Team is the central engineering function behind every new product we bring to market. Our team of focused and talented engineers takes full ownership of new product development — driving each program from conception through end-of-life with a commitment to flawless execution. Working closely with all internal cross-functional teams, our engineers define and drive DfT testability requirements, test coverage, production characterization (across process, voltage, and temperature variations), ATE-to-bench correlation, cost and yield optimization, test time reduction, project logistics, and seamless transfer to full-volume manufacturing.

We take pride in delivering high-quality products that exceed customer expectations and drive business success — and our versatile, results-driven team makes it happen.

We are currently looking for a Sr. NPI Product Engineer to join our team. This role sits at the heart of new product development — engaged from product concept through end-of-life — collaborating closely with all internal cross-functional teams to drive program success. This is a unique opportunity for a passionate and driven engineer to influence key engineering and product decisions and make a meaningful impact on the cutting-edge products we deliver to our customers worldwide.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a world-class NPI development team, focused on designing and developing advanced high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductor IC products in cutting-edge CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. Our products are built with purpose and precision — operating at data rates of 25–400

Gbps and beyond — delivering faster, more reliable connectivity for AI data centers, PON, and 5G wireless networks. Reporting to the Manager of NPI Product Engineering, the Sr. NPI Product Engineer will take full ownership of all NPI activities — driving and executing from product concept through final product release while maintaining the product life cycle.

• Lead and drive all NPI activities from product concept through final product release while ensuring product conformance to specifications, and seamless transfer to full-volume manufacturing
• Collaborate with internal cross-functional teams including Project Lead, Design, Marketing, Validation, Test Engineering, Characterization, Quality & Reliability, Applications Engineering and Operations to ensure successful product development and delivery
• Actively participate in the milestone reviews of NPI program logistics, timelines, and milestones, providing regular updates to management and stakeholders
• Prepare all NPI product release and OSAT related manufacturing documentations for production transfer and product maintenance
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior product engineers

• Lead team to define Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and Design for Testability (DfT) requirements for NPI products and provide feedback to design for implementation to ensure comprehensive and efficient production test coverage
• Support test engineers in the development, implementation, verification and optimization of ATE test programs ensuring the testability/manufacturability features are considered and implemented, and that test coverage and quality is achieved while maintaining accurate cost models
• Lead product characterization, correlation and release activities, ensuring all datasheet specifications are validated and met

• Develop comprehensive product characterization plans encompassing both…
