Reliability Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Recent graduate or expected graduate by year-end with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or Mechanical Engineering will be considered.
• Master’s degree with 3–5 years of relevant experience.
• Strong understanding of physics of failure, particularly electro-thermo-mechanical mechanisms in semiconductor devices and packages.
• Proven experience with chip–package interactions, package materials, and assembly processes.
• Hands-on experience with power cycling reliability testing and accelerated thermo-mechanical stress.
• Experience with power semiconductor products, including Si, SiC, or GaN discrete devices and/or power modules.
• Proficiency with structured problem-solving tools such as FMEA, 8D, and root cause analysis.
• Experience with statistical analysis tools such as JMP or Minitab, and MS Office.
• Willingness to travel less than 10%.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

Nice To Haves

• Experience extracting data and creating reports and dashboards using Power BI, Python, Oracle, and/or SQL.
• Knowledge of industry reliability standards, including JEDEC, AEC, IEC, MIL, or AQG324.
• Experience working with automotive customers or OEMs.

Responsibilities

• Interface with Fab, Packaging, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and Business Units.
• Define and own new product development (NPD) reliability and robustness requirements for power semiconductor products.
• Lead reliability assessments for advanced power packaging technologies, such as sintered die attach, copper clip/ribbon, embedded die, power modules, and double-sided cooling.
• Analyze chip–package interaction effects and thermo-mechanical failure mechanisms, and propose design, process, or material improvements.
• Influence package, device, and process design decisions through data-driven reliability recommendations.
• Lead technical reliability discussions to align stakeholders on risk, tradeoffs, and qualification strategy.
• Design and execute power cycling, thermal cycling, and accelerated thermo-mechanical stress tests.
• Develop, validate, and calibrate lifetime and acceleration models based on physics of failure and test data.
• Conduct early-stage FMEA and drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) for reliability stress failures.
• Collaborate with internal laboratories on reliability testing and failure analysis.
• Correlate accelerated stress results to customer mission profiles and application use conditions.
• Communicate reliability data, physics-of-failure insights, and risk assessments to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Provide technical leadership and serve as a trusted reliability advisor to internal stakeholders and customers.
