You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality and customer satisfaction.
Key Responsibilities:
Reliability Engineering:
- Develop and execute reliability test plans, including accelerated life testing (ALT), highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and environmental stress screening (ESS).
- Analyze reliability data to identify failure modes, mechanisms, and root causes.
- Utilize statistical analysis techniques to assess product reliability and predict field performance.
- Collaborate with design and process engineering teams to implement design and process changes to improve product reliability.
Failure Analysis:
- Conduct detailed failure analysis investigations, including physical failure analysis (PFA) and electrical failure analysis (EFA).
- Utilize advanced analytical techniques such as confocal scanning acoustic microscopy (CSAM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), focused ion beam (FIB), electroluminescence (EL), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to identify failure mechanisms.
- Develop and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence of failures.
Reliability Improvement:
- Identify and implement reliability improvement strategies, such as design for reliability (DFR) and design for manufacturability (DFM).
- Conduct reliability risk assessments and develop mitigation plans.
- Collaborate with suppliers to ensure the reliability of purchased components.
Data Analysis and Reporting:
- Analyze reliability data to generate comprehensive reports and presentations.
- Utilize python, database (eg SQL), and statistical software to perform data analysis and modeling.
- Communicate complex technical information to a wide range of audiences, including engineering, management, and customers.
Qualifications:
- Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in semiconductor laser and/or product reliability engineering.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, failure mechanisms, and reliability testing methodologies.
- Proficiency in statistical analysis techniques, including Weibull analysis, accelerated life modeling, and reliability prediction.
- Experience with failure analysis techniques, such as SEM, EDX, CSAM, TEM, EL, and FIB.
- Experience with reliability tools and software, such as JMP, Minitab, or ReliaSoft.
- Knowledge of industry standards and specifications, such as Telcordia (e.g. GR-468), JEDEC, MIL-STD, and AEC-Q.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Masters or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
- 3 years of experience with semiconductor lasers and laser products
- Experience with advanced reliability techniques, such as physics-of-failure modeling and accelerated degradation modeling.
- Knowledge of reliability modeling tools, such as JMP, Reliasoft or Ansys.
- Experience with reliability certification and qualification processes.
Pay Range is $150K to $192K
