Senior NPI Product Engineer

Location: Burlington, ON or Bristol, UK (Hybrid – 4 days in office)

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 looking for a NPI Product Engineer to join our team. This role supports new product development activities — from early‑stage development through production transfer — working closely with senior engineers and cross‑functional teams to build foundational skills and contribute to program success. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated engineer eager to develop deep technical expertise in high-performance optical, analog/mixed‑signal semiconductor IC products in cutting‑edge CMOS and BiCMOS technologies.

Reporting to the Manager of NPI Product Engineering, the Junior NPI Product Engineer will support NPI activities across the full product development cycle under the guidance of senior engineers.

• NPI Program Support & Cross-Functional Collaboration (25%)
• Support NPI activities from product concept through final product release, assisting in 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 under the direction of senior engineers
• Assist in tracking backend NPI development through product transfer, and participate in milestone reviews of NPI program logistics, timelines and milestones
• Support preparation of NPI product release deliverables and OSAT-related manufacturing documentation, ensuring accuracy and completeness
• Receive technical mentorship from senior engineers and actively develop technical skills and product knowledge
• Design for Testability/Manufacturability (35%)
• Support the definition of Design for Testability (DfT) and Design for Manufacturability (DfM) requirements for NPI products under the guidance of senior engineers
• Assist test engineers in the development, implementation, verification and optimization of ATE test programs, learning how testability and manufacturability features are implemented and evaluated
• Support product characterization, correlation, and release activities, contributing to execution and adherence to product specifications and quality standards
• Assist in finalizing datasheet specifications and ATE production test limits under senior engineer direction, gaining exposure to data-driven, statistically validated limit-setting processes
• Characterization, Data Analysis & Yield Optimization (30%)
• Assist in developing product characterization plans for wafer-level and bench characterization tests, building understanding of test coverage requirements across product specifications and operating conditions
• Perform data analysis of ATE and bench characterization results across PVT variations, including ATE-to-bench correlation studies and process capability analysis, with guidance from senior engineers
• Support yield modeling activities to develop foundational understanding of yield and quality drivers
• Assist in planning and executing Design of Experiments (DOE) to support yield analysis, test time reduction, and test optimization efforts
• Support product validation and reliability qualification activities in collaboration with Test, Characterization, Validation and…
