Company Overview:
We hire the best people in the industry and engage them in some of the most exciting opportunities that connect the world we live in today. Our growth has come from innovative, bold approaches to solving some of the world’s most challenging communication technology problems in the most efficient and effective manner.
MaxLinear began by developing the world’s first high-performance TV tuner chip using standard CMOS process technology. Others said we couldn’t achieve the extremely high-performance requirements using CMOS, but we proved them wrong and achieved enduring global market leadership with our designs. Since then, we’ve developed a full line of products that drive 4G and 5G infrastructure; enable data center, metro and long-haul optical interconnects; bring 10Gbit to the home; power the IoT revolution; and enable robust and reliable communication in harsh industrial environments. Over the years, we’ve expanded through organic growth and through several acquisitions that have perfectly complemented our existing portfolio and enabled us to deliver complete end-to-end solutions in our target markets. One such example was the acquisition of Intel’s Home Gateway Platform Division that added Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Broadband Gateway Processor SoC technology to our connected home portfolio creating a complete and scalable platform of connectivity and access solutions to fully address our customers’ needs.
Our headquarters are in Carlsbad, near San Diego, California. We also have major design centers in Irvine and San Jose, California; Valencia, Spain; Bangalore, India; Munich, Germany; Israel; and Singapore.
We have approximately 1,200 employees, a substantial majority of whom have engineering degrees and include masters and Ph.D. graduates from many of the premiere universities around the world. Our employees thrive on innovation, outstanding execution, outside-the-box thinking, nimbleness, and collaboration. Together, we form a high-energy business team that is focused on building the best and most innovative products on the market.
MaxLinear is seeking a Director of Product Engineering to join our team. In this role, you will focus on the following:
- Build and mentor engineering talent while fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and innovation
- Drive seamless transition of products from design to manufacturing and own product manufacturing performance throughout the entire product lifecycle
- Lead product bring-up, silicon validation, characterization, qualification, and production release activities
- Define organizational strategy, goals, KPIs, and resource plans aligned with company objectives
- Collaborate closely with cross functional organizations to optimize performance, yield, testability, and manufacturability
- Establish manufacturing readiness criteria and ensure successful product ramp
- Own product yield improvement initiatives across wafer fabrication, assembly, and final test operations
- Implement statistical process control (SPC), DOE, FMEA, and advanced analytics techniques.
- Analyze product and test data to identify yield detractors and implement corrective actions
- Develop strategies to improve cost of test, manufacturing efficiency, and overall product margins
- Support customer escalations, product quality investigations, and field-return analysis
- Establish and manage OSAT scorecards and KPIs to ensure world-class execution in quality, yield, cost, delivery, and cycle time
- Experience with releasing products on advanced CMOS Process nodes (16nm and below)
- Deep knowledge of mm-wave, RF, Mixed signal and CMOS logic circuit principles
- Knowledge and experience with ATE (Automatic Test Equipment), such as Verigy and Teradyne
- Experience with Data Analysis S/W such as Galaxy, Data Conductor or DataPower to create Characterization Reports and monitor production Yield
- Experience recruiting, managing, and mentoring an engineering team
- BS in Electrical Engineering or related + 13 years of experience, or MS + 11 years of experience, or Ph.D. + 8 years of experience
