Principal Product Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Principal Product Engineer (Silicon and cloud hardware product/test engineering)

Description

Own product/test engineering for new product development and manufacturing, spanning pre-silicon readiness through post-silicon power and performance tuning. Drive ATE test program implementation to optimize SoC power/TDP, coordinate correlation with platform/system teams, and manage fuse requirements and end-to-end fusing data flow. Lead cross-functional execution, including vendor management and sub-project delivery.

Responsibilities

• Drive pre-silicon readiness for power, performance, and thermal test features for successful bring-up (including LDOs and integrated VRs).

• Perform power/performance tuning during the post-silicon phase with platform teams.

• Implement ATE test programs; optimize SoC power/TDP and enable characterization correlation work.

• Define product manufacturing fuse requirements and manage end-to-end fusing data flow across test sockets.

• Lead project efforts: manage external vendors, drive cross-functional teams, and deliver sub-projects within larger programs.

• Apply ATE test engineering practices: test method development, test bring-up, characterization, debug, and yield analysis.

• Use knowledge of DFT, silicon fabrication process, product quality & reliability, and basic transistor theory.

• Support end-to-end product engineering from definition to launch.

Requirements

• Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experience OR

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience OR

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience.

• Meet Microsoft security screening requirements, including passing the Microsoft Cloud Background Check and meeting export-controlled information eligibility.

Benefits

• Base pay range (U.S.): USD $142,800–$274,800 per year; different ranges apply for the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metro areas (USD $188,000–$304,200).

• Eligible for benefits and other compensation (per Microsoft’s pay and benefits information).
