Product Engineering

Product Engineering is the glue that binds all the critical development, qualification, and production stages together. Our product engineers are the heartbeat of the product life cycle, coordinating, performing, and driving critical tasks to ensure products will meet stringent customer criteria for functionality, performance, quality, reliability, and production yield.

Our product engineers have advanced knowledge in lithography, material science, silicon process technology, and circuit and signal analysis, as well as the latest approaches and methodologies used to measure, characterize, test, and analyze product behavior, reliability, and production yield. The Apex Semiconductor team can help customers rapidly transition their products from first silicon to production ramp, ensuring that time-to-revenue and time-to-profitability objectives will be achieved.
