IC Product Engineer

Ferric is a technology startup based in New York City that is pioneering an entirely new approach to power delivery for Integrated Circuits and Electronic Assemblies. This approach leverages Ferric’s integration of thin-film magnetic inductors with CMOS technology to enable a significant improvement in the integration density and efficiency of voltage regulators (VRs) compared with current commercially available technologies.
As a Ferric IC Product Engineer, you will gain exposure to the full product-life of Ferric’s ICs by working with a diverse cross-functional team including IC designers, test & application engineers, assembly team, vendors, the fab, and our customers. Product Engineers spearhead our product engineering activities within the exciting field of power ICs. In this role, reporting to the VP Operations, you will work in a fast-paced environment to develop, characterize, qualify and production-release Ferric’s power management IC’s. We are seeking a dedicated hands-on engineer with extensive proven experience in product development, characterization, product qualification, package qualification, new product introduction to production, manufacturing sustaining, yield analysis, yield enhancement, and product failure analysis.
Primary Responsibilities:
Work with IC design and test teams to create and review test plans, including providing recommendations for DFT & DFQ, test & debug visibility, etc
Work with manufacturing and process engineering team to develop, characterize new assembly processes
Characterization of products across PVT on ATE and bench
ATE to bench correlation and establishment of ATE production test limits
Disposition of Wafer sort and Final test
Design of reliability hardware
Support and execute product qualification
Yield enhancement
Support engineering team with NPI
Analysis of RMA Customer returns and root cause analysis
Bench-level testing, characterization, and debug of full ICs and IC sub-systems
