Sr. Staff Product Engineer

About SiTime SiTime is the Precision Timing company. Timing is the heartbeat of all electronics, ensuring performance, resilience and scalability. For decades, quartz devices, non-silicon technology, have kept systems in sync, but they struggle in harsher, more demanding environments. MEMS-based Precision Timing delivers greater accuracy, smaller size and resilience. Today, MEMS timing powers over 400 applications, including high-growth ones in AI datacenters, automated driving, industrial and humanoid robots, wearables and IoT. Our semiconductor MEMS programmable solutions offer a rich feature set that enables customers to differentiate their products with higher performance, smaller size, lower power, and better reliability. With more than 4 billion devices shipped, SiTime is changing the timing industry. For more information, visit: www.sitime.com. Job Summary Timing Products Division (TPD) is seeking a Senior Staff Product Engineer to lead the development and production ramp of state-of-the-art mixed-signal timing products. This is a unique opportunity to provide end-to-end product engineering leadership, from product conception and NPI through qualification, production release, yield improvement, and end-of-life. The Senior Staff Product Engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams including Design, Test, Quality, Operations, Applications, and external suppliers to ensure products meet datasheet specifications, customer requirements, and applicable JEDEC/AEC quality standards. The role will also lead test strategy, product qualification, BOM management, yield optimization, and resolution of supplier and customer excursions. Responsibilities • Provide end-to-end product engineering ownership from product concept through end-of-life, with a focus on delivering high-quality products to customers. • Lead the definition and execution of ATE test, product qualification, and manufacturing strategies. • Drive new product introduction (NPI) and product release into manufacturing while ensuring compliance with stringent Tier 1 customer requirements. • Develop and maintain datasheets, automotive compliance documentation, and product-related technical reports. • Own product Bill of Materials (BOM) release and maintenance throughout the product lifecycle. • Lead supplier and customer excursion management, including root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and cross-functional resolution. • Drive yield improvement through statistical analysis, data mining, root-cause investigation, and implementation of corrective actions. • Monitor key product and manufacturing metrics, generate regular yield/performance reports, and communicate findings and improvement plans to product engineering teams and leadership. • Drive achievement of product engineering KPIs, including NPI execution and velocity, gross margin improvement, product quality, and failure-analysis cycle time. • Optimize PAT, SYL, SBL, SPC limits, and disposition strategies to protect product quality while minimizing unnecessary manufacturing waste. • Partner with design and test engineering teams to optimize product test coverage, DFT, manufacturability, and production robustness. • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to product engineering team members and influence cross-functional technical decisions. Qualifications & Requirements Required Qualifications • 10+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering. • Strong understanding of analog and mixed-signal circuits, common circuit building blocks, semiconductor device physics, test methodologies, and Design-for-Test (DFT) concepts. • Strong analog circuit background is required; experience with semiconductor timing products such as PLLs and clock generators is highly desirable. • Experience with ATE tester platforms such as Teradyne J750 or Advantest 93K. • Experience developing and executing semiconductor product test plans and manufacturing test strategies. • Experience developing qualification hardware and/or software. • Experience with common laboratory test equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, DC power supplies, and related instrumentation. • Experience with product qualification and familiarity with JEDEC and AEC qualification standards and stress-test conditions. • Experience with yield management and statistical analysis tools such as PDF Exensio and JMP. • Demonstrated ability to use statistical analysis and data-driven methods to identify root causes and drive yield improvement. • Demonstrated experience managing supplier excursions and customer escalations through structured problem solving and cross-functional collaboration. • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field required; Master's or Ph.D. preferred. • English proficiency is required, including the ability to effectively communicate, collaborate, and perform job responsibilities in a professional business environment. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with mixed-signal timing products, including PLLs, clock generators, or related devices. • Bench characterization experience for analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products. • Experience with automotive semiconductor products and customer-specific quality requirements. • Experience with PAT, SYL, SBL, SPC, and statistical disposition optimization. Desired Characteristics & Attributes • Strong verbal, written, and technical communication skills. • Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to influence cross-functional teams. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach. • Ability to work effectively with Design, Test, Quality, Operations, suppliers, and customers. • Strong ownership and accountability for product quality and execution. • Collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. • Ability to mentor and develop less-experienced product engineers.
