Principal Performance and Manufacturing Architect
Core
Define first-principles models connecting physical parameters to manufacturing outcomes, set manufacturing test specifications, and validate models through silicon to ensure product yield and reliability.
Role type
Principal Performance and Manufacturing Architect
Builds
Production-ready silicon products with validated manufacturing processes and test specifications
Domain
Semiconductor manufacturing, silicon physics, and yield engineering
Deliverable
production ML models | product features
Required skills
First-principles modeling, transient voltage fluctuation (VF) analysis, manufacturing test specification definition, statistical process control, silicon validation experiment design, cross-functional methodology alignment
Preferred skills
AI application in production engineering workflows, multi-node experience, leading multi-functional alignment on complex technical disagreements
Technologies
