Summary of Role

The VP Silicon Engineering / Test Engineering Services (TES) is the general manager for a growth product line delivering postfab silicon servicesincluding wafer sort/probe support final test engineering test program development characterization yield/quality analytics and adjacent services that accelerate customer time-to-market and improve product quality and cost. The role owns end-to-end P&L builds and executes the TES strategy and partners closely with Business Development/Sales to generate and convert a robust customer pipeline for silicon postfab services.

Essential Responsibilities

1) P&L Ownership & Business Leadership

• Own full profit and loss for the Test Engineering Services product line: revenue growth gross margin operating expense and working capital discipline.
• Define the TES business models (e.g. internal delivery consigned tooling corridors OSAT/partner delivery hybrid approaches) and ensure the operating model is scalable and commercially competitive.
• Establish pricing quoting and contracting guardrails to ensure services are monetized cleanly and consistently including separation/clarity of what is being sold (engineering services NRE production services pass-through elements).

2) GTM Customer Pipeline & Revenue Growth (with Business Development)

• Co-lead pipeline generation with Business Development: target segments account plans value propositions and conversion plays for postfab test services.
• Build a repeatable land and expand motionstart with engineering/NPI services and expand into production test analytics and lifecycle support as appropriate to the customer model.
• Develop customer-facing collateral and outcome-based messaging tied to test efficiency quality schedule and reliability outcomes

3) Portfolio Strategy & Service Offerings

• Own the TES service portfolio across the product lifecyclecapabilities that may include:
  • Test program development & product bringup qualification support volume manufacturing readiness
  • Probe card/test interface/board ecosystem engagement characterization across digital/analog/mixed-signal/RF and DFT enablement support
• Define service packaging (standard offers vs. bespoke programs) delivery playbooks and capacity planning to scale multi-customer execution.

4) Operating Excellence: Delivery Quality and Predictability

• Own the TES delivery system: intake scoping scheduling execution reporting closure with clear milestones change control and customer communications.
