Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom IC Resources Full time £80,000 - £120,000 per year

We are seeking an experienced NPI Silicon Manager to lead new product introduction activities across our client's semiconductor programmes. This is a key technical and operational role responsible for managing the transition of multiple integrated circuit products from design through to successful mass production.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage NPI processes for multiple silicon products from concept and design through to volume production
  • Oversee test development, production readiness, and reliability qualification plans
  • Manage workflows for probe, ATE hardware, packaging, and supply-chain readiness
  • Support DFT activities (e.g., MBIST, scan), including ATE bring-up and issue resolution
  • Coordinate with foundries on tape-out, corner lot planning, process updates, and engineering requests
  • Drive industrialisation processes including PVT characterisation, yield improvement, gauge R&R, limit setting, and trial lot management.

About You
You will be an organised, detail-oriented engineering professional with strong leadership and cross-functional skills. You should have:

  • Proven track record of taking multiple semiconductor products from design to mass production
  • Degree in Electronic Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Strong understanding of digital and analogue test methods
  • Deep knowledge of IC production flow and semiconductor supply chains
  • Hands-on experience with key NPI activities such as probe technologies, ATE hardware, workflows, and packaging options
  • Knowledge of JEDEC standards for stress-test-driven qualification of ICs
  • Experience with DFT flows (MBIST, scan) and ATE bring-up
  • Familiarity with semiconductor FAB operations, including portals, tape-out, and foundry communication
  • Experience in industrialisation processes (PVT, yield improvement, trial lots, limit setting, gauge R&R)
  • Strong data analysis skills, including handling ATE/STDF data sets
  • Knowledge of silicon and package failure-analysis techniques, including advanced debug methods
  • Proven ability to manage processes for test design, reliability testing, and silicon verification

Our client has offices based in Cambridge and can consider hybrid / remote working for this role.
