Essential Functions/Major Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary subject matter expert for semiconductor backend test operations within the product team, applying deep product-engineering experience to guide the development of prescriptive analytics solutions
- Review and validate the recommendations generated by the product, applying domain judgment to confirm they are correct and appropriate before they are acted upon by customer engineers
- Partner with engineering and product teams to define requirements, validate models, and refine recommendation logic based on real-world test-floor behavior, equipment characteristics, and yield/excursion modes
- Distinguish equipment-related contributions to yield, UPH, and uptime loss from process-related causes, translating that analysis into actionable product and engineering insights
- Engage directly with customers at their sites to ensure effective deployment, adoption, and utilization of the product
- Guide customers in integrating prescriptive Test Operations capabilities into their existing production and dispositioning workflows
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers and act as the voice of the customer within the product team
- Support pre-sales activities including demonstrations, proof-of-concept engagements, and technical evaluations
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
