PR/160603 | Senior Reliability Engineer (Failure Analysis & Qualification)

A leading global semiconductor organization is seeking a Senior Reliability Engineer to join its Global Reliability Lab, supporting product qualification from early development through high-volume manufacturing. This role is critical in ensuring long-term product robustness and reliability by defining qualification strategies, executing reliability testing, and driving failure investigations. You will work closely with cross-functional teams across Design, Test, Failure Analysis, Manufacturing, Quality, and external suppliers to ensure products meet stringent industry, automotive, and customer reliability standards.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Execute reliability qualification plans for semiconductor devices, components, and modules across development and production stages.

• Develop and implement comprehensive reliability test strategies, including HTOL, HAST, THB, Temperature Cycling (TC), HTSL, PTC, and mechanical stress testing.

• Analyze test results, investigate failures, and provide clear, data-driven conclusions and corrective recommendations.

• Assess and mitigate reliability risks associated with new technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes.

• Ensure compliance with industry standards such as JEDEC, IEC, MIL, IPC, and customer-specific requirements.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Test, Failure Analysis, Manufacturing, Quality) to resolve reliability issues and improve product robustness.

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and production ramp by ensuring reliability targets are achieved.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in reliability performance and qualification efficiency.
   

Key Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (or related discipline).

• Minimum 5+ years of experience in semiconductor reliability engineering.

• Proven track record supporting products from development to high-volume manufacturing (NPI to HVM).

• Strong understanding of reliability physics and failure mechanisms (e.g., electromigration, corrosion, thermal fatigue, dielectric breakdown).

• Hands-on experience with reliability testing methodologies and environmental/mechanical stress equipment.

• Ability to interpret schematics, layouts, and mechanical drawings.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly in failure analysis and root cause investigation.

• Experience in automotive, industrial, or high-reliability applications is an advantage.

• Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate across global teams.
