Senior Product Portfolio Manager – Power Semiconductors

Role overview:
Lead the development and release of next-generation power semiconductor portfolios, including advanced GaN and SiC wide-bandgap technologies. This role provides full technical ownership of product engineering, project management of operations, and end-to-end responsibility for product portfolios, from characterisation and yield improvement to process control and production release.

Key responsibilities:

• Manage projects and products across the compound semiconductor portfolio.

• Lead the product engineering team and collaborate with technology and product development teams to deliver manufacturing-ready devices.

• Characterise new product performance ahead of production release.

• Develop and maintain engineering databases for device characterisation and production tracking.

• Establish and monitor Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems for production products.

• Manage wafer sort and final test disposition processes.

• Drive yield enhancement and support failure analysis activities.

• Support new product introduction (NPI) and transfer from development to volume production.

• Manage change control for products in production.

• Work with reliability and quality teams to analyze RMA customer returns and implement corrective actions.

Required skills & experience:

• Very strong project and product management skills.

• Minimum 10 years’ experience in power semiconductor engineering, ideally across silicon and wide-bandgap (SiC/GaN) devices.

• In-depth understanding of the semiconductor product lifecycle, including device characterization, qualification, production release, and sustenance.

• Strong analytical skills for evaluating and characterizing power semiconductor devices.

• Background in yield analysis and circuit debugging.

• Logical, data-driven problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication skills, with experience leading cross-functional and international project teams.

Desirable experience:

• Six Sigma quality practices.

• Exposure to wide-bandgap semiconductor product introductions.

Tools & methods:

• Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems

• Product engineering and characterization databases

• Failure analysis and yield tracking methodologies

What success looks like:

• Successful introduction of next-generation GaN/SiC power semiconductor devices.

• Robust portfolio management with high-quality, manufacturing-ready products.

• Improved yield, reliability, and production performance across the product portfolio.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration across engineering, operations, and quality teams.

• Well-maintained technical documentation and structured change control.
