Project Lead of cross-functional teams for RFIC transceiver NPI. Technologies included WiFi, BT, GPS, GSM/CDMA/OFDMA, 4G, and 5G. Analyzed designs for specification, testability, and manufacturability compliance. Analyzed test solutions for test coverage compliance, test time performance and GRR. Electrically characterized products over PVT, frequency, and operating mode corners. Performed Reliability stressing such as ESD, Latch-up, HTOL, and HAST. Ramped devices to volume production at domestic and overseas subcon facilities. Analyzed production data to maximize yield and process stability while minimizing test time. Serviced RMAs from customers using electrical and physical failure analysis to determine root causes and recommend countermeasures to identified failure modes. Edited datasheets and application literature for publication.
