The Senior Staff Product Engineer for BMS is a highly experienced and technically proficient role responsible for the successful characterization, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing release of BMS ICs for automotive applications. The ideal candidate will be a technical leader with deep knowledge of automotive quality and safety standards (AEC-Q100, APQP, ISO 26262) and a strong understanding of IC design, test, and manufacturing processes.
This role is a critical link between the design, test, applications, and quality assurance teams, ensuring that the BMS IC meets all functional, performance, and reliability requirements throughout its lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Product Qualification and Reliability:
- Lead and manage the qualification of new BMS products, ensuring compliance with automotive standards such as AEC-Q100 for stress qualification.
- Develop, execute, and oversee comprehensive product reliability plans.
- Characterization and Validation:
- Develop and implement characterization plans to fully test and validate the performance of BMS ICs, covering all features and operating conditions.
- Work closely with design and test engineers to create robust and efficient test programs for both characterization and high-volume manufacturing.
- Statistical Data Analysis:
- Apply advanced statistical analysis techniques to product data for process monitoring, yield optimization, and test limit definition.
- Utilize statistical tools to identify and resolve performance and reliability issues.
- Automotive Quality and Functional Safety:
- Serve as the product expert for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) activities, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Control Plans, and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation.
- Drive functional safety (ISO 26262) compliance by supporting safety mechanism validation, fault injection testing, and reporting as part of the overall IC safety case.
- Problem Solving and Failure Analysis:
- Lead cross-functional teams in the analysis of customer returns and production test failures to identify root causes and implement effective corrective actions.
- Utilize techniques such as 8D methodology for formal problem-solving and reporting.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Act as the primary technical interface for customers, application engineers, design teams, and test engineers.
- Provide technical support during product integration and production ramp-up.
