Qorvo supplies innovative semiconductor solutions that make a better world possible. This Product Engineer will lead new product development activities from early prototype through production release, serving as a key technical partner across design, process, manufacturing, test and quality teams. The role will focus on data-driven problem solving, yield improvement, product performance optimization and successful release of high-quality RF/Microwave semiconductor products.

Responsibilities:

• Generate required Product Engineering deliverables during the New Product Development and maintain throughout product lifetime.
• Data-driven decision making based on timely and thorough data analysis.
• Provide detailed analyses for each major design revision during the prototype phase of development, identify key parameters needing improvement and then communicate these to the core development team.
• Practice continuous improvement and yield optimization by tracking wafer fab parameters, uncovering correlations and troubleshooting process and equipment issues.
• Employ appropriate Statistical Process Control (SPC) principles to reduce variability in product performance.
• Support Test Engineering activities to debug, validate and release production test hardware/software.
• Compile and analyze data using common statistical techniques (time-series analysis, CPK, DOE, SPC, ANOVA) and effectively present key results along with recommended actions.
• Generates Yield Plans that develop roadmaps to improve yield and reduce cost.
• Engage in group problem-solving and process improvement projects (familiarity with Six Sigma or comparable methods is desirable).

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience or an equivalent amount of advanced education and experience as a Product Engineer.
• Strong attention to detail, self-motivation and the ability to achieve results with minimal supervision.
• Team-oriented approach with strong written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills.
• Time management skills sufficient to balance multiple high-priority activities.
• Comfortable making presentations to internal and external customers.
• Understanding of RF/Microwave theory and semiconductor physics.
• Knowledge of typical RF test equipment and common test methodologies.
• Expertise in statistical methods and common statistical software such as JMP, Spotfire and Excel.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience leading projects and/or efforts involving diverse, cross-functional teams.
• Experience in a III/V semiconductor manufacturing environment.
• Familiarity with standard problem-solving methods such as 8D or 5-Whys.
• Familiarity with Six Sigma or comparable continuous improvement methods.
