• Identify potential supply-chain risks early, addressing issues swiftly to keep programmes on track.

Post-Silicon Execution

• Lead characterisation and qualification activities across multiple silicon lots.
• Shape and oversee functional, parametric, and reliability test plans to confirm device performance.
• Ensure all validation work aligns with industry standards and customer expectations.

R&D Collaboration

• Work closely with Software, DFT, and Analogue Design teams to define test strategies and product ramp plans.
• Maintain consistency between design intent and downstream test execution.
• Enable strong feedback loops from silicon evaluation back to engineering teams to drive yield, robustness, and performance improvements.

Programme Planning & Reporting
