Principal Package Design Engineer (Discrete / Power)

TL;DR

Principal Package Design Engineer (Discrete / Power): Lead and improve discrete semiconductor package designs across NPI and mass production with an accent on manufacturability, cost effectiveness, and compliance with JEDEC and AEC-Q100/Q101. Focus on defining lead frame package dimensions/tolerances, driving reliability and solderability through assembly process knowledge, and using statistical/failure analysis to support technical decisions.

Company

Semiconductor company developing discrete and power technologies.

What you will do

• Lead and support lead frame package design for NPI and mass production, aligning functional and manufacturing requirements.
• Collaborate with package architects to create technical assembly drawings and finalize dimensions and tolerances.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards (JEDEC, AEC-Q100/Q101 for automotive) and internal design guidelines.
• Apply semiconductor assembly process knowledge (die attach, wire bonding, molding/encapsulation) and reliability considerations (materials, plating/finishing for solderability).
• Support evaluation of high-precision metal manufacturing processes (e.g., progressive die stamping, chemical etching) and drive cost-reduction initiatives.
• Perform statistical analysis, failure analysis, and structured problem-solving; contribute to technical reporting, paper writing, and IP generation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical, electronics, manufacturing engineering, or a related discipline.
