Define production test plans, define experiments to study product performance and capabilities, analyze test and characterization data to identify performance issues or show product meets marketing requirements. Establish standardized test and measurement methods for new product lines.
 * Product Sustaining: Apply data analysis skills to improve product yields during production. Review and disposition production lots as necessary. Test time reduction. Analyze customer returns. Able to operate independently.
 * Change Control: Review any changes in production processes and how the change may impact product performance or reliability. Perform any necessary electrical characterization to support change qualification.
 * Failure Analysis: Drive failure analysis studies on customer returns or to study failure modes that impact yield.
 * Team Leadership: provide technical mentoring to junior product engineers; lead activities and efforts on cross functional teams
