Reliability Engineering Intern
About The Position
As an intern, you'll spend time working with the Reliability Engineering team supporting both reliability analysis and development during product development efforts, evaluating how and why components or systems fail. You'll be helping set up and run reliability and accelerated life tests, collecting and analyzing performance and failure data, and assisting in root‑cause investigations to improve robustness of many components that make up an ion implanter. You'll help contribute to reliability reports, create and edit test plans and other documentation, and help identify process improvements, while gaining exposure to tools and methods like statistical analysis software, test equipment, and failure analysis techniques. You'll focus on collaboration through engagement with cross‑functional teams — such as design, quality, manufacturing, and field service — to ensure products meet reliability goals and support continuous improvement efforts.
