GaN Package Development Engineer

DescriptionKey Responsibilities and Duties

Design & Risk Assessment

Initiates the internal assembly design of the GaN device, BOM & Process flow in a target package footprint

Prepared preliminary Build diagram and Package Outline Drawings.

Conducts risk assessment and identification of mitigating actions to eliminate or reduce the risks. This will be in collaboration with OSAT development team and Navitas Operations/NPI teams

Works with Simulation engineer for thermal and thermo-mechanical stress simulations as part of risk assessment of new designs.

Lead cross-functional team reviews to finalize proposed design

Defines new assembly package layout rules as reference for future designs

Package Development

• Drives all assembly validation activities to freeze Design-, BOM- and Process-of-records
• Performs Learning Cycle builds to validate design and material selection versus target performance
• Works with Rel team to execute Look-ahead reliability evaluations and post-stress construction analysis to assess package robustness
• Oversees the assembly of Final POR Qualification Lots at OSAT up to delivery of samples for Reliability testing
• Compiles and provides all relevant documentation under Package Engineering deliverables as per Navitas New Product Development Process

Customer Support

• Generates Engineering build requests for customer samples requested by BU
• Monitors assembly CTQs and yield performance of customer sample lots for CPK and yield analysis
• Generates Application notes for new packages to provide guidance for optimum board mount conditions of Navitas products.
