A leading global semiconductor organization is seeking Product Engineers across multiple experience levels to join its team in Penang. This role spans sustaining engineering, new product introduction (NPI), and full product lifecycle ownership for high-volume semiconductor products.
You will play a critical role in ensuring product robustness, reliability, and manufacturability, supporting product qualification from early development through high-volume manufacturing. This includes defining qualification strategies, executing reliability testing, and driving failure investigations.
Working closely with cross-functional teams—including Design, Test, Failure Analysis, Manufacturing, Quality, and external suppliers—you will ensure products meet stringent industry, automotive, and customer reliability standards while delivering strong performance, yield, and cost efficiency.
Note: Level and title will be determined based on candidate experience, skills, and demonstrated impact.
