ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Principal Reliability Engineer will lead in a “hands on manner” the execution of semiconductor process and product qualification projects. These projects will include compound semiconductor technologies such as GaN, and GaAs, integrated systems (board/module level) etc. They will be a technical contributor on a diverse range of complex technical problems and identify innovative solutions. Ability to execute multiple concurrent complex qualification projects independently with limited guidance. Must be capable of successfully performing in a demanding, fast-paced environment.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead and conduct qualification projects of new semiconductor processes and products across a range of innovative technologies in accordance with JEDEC and other related standards
• Develop and conduct detailed semiconductor device characterization to improve the reliability of products, processes or to solve complex technical problems, and demonstrate the ability to guide institutional learning on these methods
• Design and conduct accelerated evaluations of reliability using temperature, voltage, current & other stresses
• Perform advanced statistical analysis of life-test and qualification data; generate clear, data-driven technical reports and presentations
• Interpret reliability risks and recommend innovative improvement/mitigation strategies to enable process and product roadmap schedules
• Be a lead technical contributor in identifying and implementing root-cause analysis on qualification failures/customer returns across existing product portfolio and within new products in process
