About the role

This is a ground‑floor opportunity to work directly within Celero's engineering and operations teams, playing a critical role in product success while helping establish the operational foundation of a growing semiconductor company.
You will define and execute the productization strategy across New Product Introduction (NPI), reliability, test, quality, and manufacturing ramp for advanced coherent DSP ICs delivered as Known Good Die (KGD) and packaged products.
Salary Range: $150,000 - $250,000 Base Annually The final offer will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, and location.

Drive end‑to‑end NPI execution from first silicon through qualification, sampling, and volume production.
Define NPI milestones, readiness criteria, and exit conditions across design, test, reliability, manufacturing, and operations.
Work closely with silicon design, DFT, test engineering, supply chain, and operations to ensure manufacturable, testable product launches.
Identify technical and operational risks early and lead mitigation efforts through data‑driven decision making.
Develop and own reliability stress plans (HTOL, HTSL, temperature cycling, ESD, latch‑up, early‑life failure, etc.)
Analyze qualification data and drive product release readiness based on measured risk and maturity.
Own quality metrics related to silicon maturity, yield stability, and manufacturing readiness.
Drive root‑cause analysis for quality or reliability excursions and lead corrective actions.
Support customer quality discussions as needed, primarily through preparation of data and technical analysis.
Lead technical engagement with foundry and OSAT partners from wafer fabrication through back‑end processing and shipment.

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related fields.
Master's degree preferred.
10+ years of experience in product engineering, silicon manufacturing, reliability engineering, or related IC lifecycle roles.
Proven experience taking complex ICs from first silicon through qualification and volume manufacturing.
Strong background in reliability qualification, stress testing, and failure analysis
Experience with wafer‑level test, Known Good Die (KGD), and production test flows.
Strong analytical skills and comfort working directly with large manufacturing and test data sets.
Excellent cross‑functional collaboration skills with a bias toward technical execution

Manage external reliability lab execution, including coverage definition, scheduling, reporting, and failure analysis.
Define and refine production test strategies with test engineering, balancing coverage, cost, yield, and guard‑banding.
Own yield learning and yield optimization from early silicon through high‑volume manufacturing
