Senior NPI Product Engineer – Semiconductor ICs (Optical & Analog/Mixed-Signal)
About the Role
Our international client is seeking a Senior NPI Product Engineer to lead and drive the introduction of new semiconductor products—guiding them from development through high-volume manufacturing.
The role requires cross-functional collaboration with Design, Test, Validation, Quality, Reliability, Applications, Marketing, and Operations teams to enhance testability, manufacturability, product characterization, yield, quality, and production readiness for high-performance optical and analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs).
Key Responsibilities
New Product Introduction (NPI)
- Drive NPI milestones—manage products from concept to production release and manufacturing transfer.
- Coordinate across teams:
- Design
- Test
- Validation
- Quality
- Reliability
- Applications
- Marketing
- Operations
- Manage NPI-related documentation, release deadlines, and manufacturing readiness.
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.
