Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia SiTime Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year

Principle Costing Engineer (Semiconductor | 5 Years Experience)

Location: [Malaysia or Taiwan]

Industry: Fabless Semiconductor Manufacturing

Employment Type: Full-time

Experience: 5+ years

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Principle Costing Engineer to join our semiconductor manufacturing team.

You'll play a key role in developing accurate cost models across wafer fabrication, assembly, and testing — ensuring product pricing and profitability decisions are backed by precise technical and financial data.

This position bridges engineering, finance, and operations, requiring both analytical costing expertise and strong process knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing.

What You'll Do

Develop and maintain end-to-end cost models for semiconductor products (wafer, die, assembly, and test).

Analyze yield, process time, and material usage to determine true manufacturing cost.

Perform cost variance and margin analysis between standard and actual costs.

Potentially will support new product introductions (NPI) by preparing early cost estimates and validating BOM and process routings.

Conduct "what-if" simulations to evaluate cost impact of process, yield, or design changes.

Collaborate with process, yield, and product engineers to identify cost-down and efficiency opportunities.

Prepare regular cost roll-up reports and dashboards for management.

Ensure compliance with financial accounting standards (GAAP/IFRS) and internal cost policies.

What You Bring

Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Electronics, Industrial, or Manufacturing).

Minimum 5 years' experience in product costing or cost engineering within the semiconductor or electronics industry.

Strong understanding of wafer fabrication, assembly, and test cost drivers.

Proficiency in ERP systems (SAP / Oracle) and advanced Excel modelling.

Hands-on experience in analyzing yield, test time, and package cost impact.

Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.

Nice to Have

Experience in Power BI / Tableau / VBA for data visualization and reporting.

Familiarity with statistical process control (SPC) and cost optimization projects.

Knowledge of outsourced assembly and test (OSAT) costing.

Professional certification (CMA / CPA / CIMA) is an advantage.

Key Results You'll Drive

Improved accuracy of cost models and variance tracking

Cost savings through process and yield optimization

Reliable cost visibility for product pricing and margin control

On-time and compliant cost reporting in ERP system

Why Join Us

Work in a high-tech, fast-paced semiconductor environment.

Collaborate with world-class engineers and cross-functional experts.

Opportunity to influence strategic pricing and profitability decisions.

Competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and an innovation-driven culture.
