Summary of Role

The VP, Silicon Engineering / Test Engineering Services (TES) is the general manager for a growth product line delivering post‑fab silicon services—including wafer sort/probe support, final test engineering, test program development, characterization, yield/quality analytics, and adjacent services that accelerate customer time-to-market and improve product quality and cost. The role owns end-to-end P&L, builds and executes the TES strategy, and partners closely with Business Development/Sales to generate and convert a robust customer pipeline for silicon post‑fab services.

Essential Responsibilities

1) P&L Ownership & Business Leadership

• Own full profit and loss for the Test Engineering Services product line: revenue growth, gross margin, operating expense, and working capital discipline.
• Define the TES business models (e.g., internal delivery, consigned tooling corridors, OSAT/partner delivery, hybrid approaches) and ensure the operating model is scalable and commercially competitive.
• Establish pricing, quoting, and contracting guardrails to ensure services are monetized cleanly and consistently, including separation/clarity of what is being sold (engineering services, NRE, production services, pass-through elements).

2) GTM, Customer Pipeline & Revenue Growth (with Business Development)

• Co-lead pipeline generation with Business Development: target segments, account plans, value propositions, and conversion plays for post‑fab test services.
• Build a repeatable “land and expand” motion—start with engineering/NPI services and expand into production test, analytics, and lifecycle support as appropriate to the customer model.
• Develop customer-facing collateral and outcome-based messaging tied to test efficiency, quality, schedule, and reliability outcomes

3) Portfolio Strategy & Service Offerings

• Own the TES service portfolio across the product lifecycle—capabilities that may include:
  • Test program development & product bring‑up, qualification support, volume manufacturing readiness
  • Probe card/test interface/board ecosystem engagement, characterization across digital/analog/mixed-signal/RF, and DFT enablement support
• Define service packaging (standard offers vs. bespoke programs), delivery playbooks, and capacity planning to scale multi-customer execution.

4) Operating Excellence: Delivery, Quality, and Predictability

• Own the TES delivery system: intake → scoping → scheduling → execution → reporting → closure, with clear milestones, change control, and customer communications.
• Implement/drive a structured request intake and prioritization process for post‑fab test work (e.g., project title, owner/POC, priority/severity, scope, and “needed-by” date), ensuring predictable execution and transparent commitments.
• Establish service KPIs: on-time delivery, first-pass success, cost-to-serve, utilization, customer satisfaction, and repeatability of test/program transfers.

5) Ecosystem & Partnerships (OSATs, Tooling, Third Parties)

• Build an external ecosystem for overflow capacity and specialized capabilities, including governance for quality, IP protection, commercial terms, and performance.
• Lead make/buy decisions for test development and manufacturing execution, including when to leverage partners vs. when to invest internally for margin, control, and strategic differentiation.

6) Talent, Organization & Culture

• Build and lead a high-performing global team across test engineering, characterization, product engineering.
• Create career paths, technical ladders, and learning programs that scale capability and accelerate throughput/quality.

7) Cross-Functional Leadership & Governance

• Partner with Finance to ensure clean services revenue recognition, governance, and “rules of engagement” with other internal stakeholders and product lines.
• Collaborate with Quality/Reliability, Manufacturing Ops, and Engineering to ensure post‑fab services align with customer expectations and internal standards.

Other Responsibilities:

· Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications:

• 20+ years in semiconductor test/product engineering, post‑silicon/post‑fab services, OSAT/foundry services, or related engineering services leadership.
• Deep knowledge of semiconductor test/manufacturing operations and test engineering workflows, including NPI-to-volume transitions.
• Proven experience driving cross-functional customer engagements and executive stakeholder management.
