Reliability Testing Engineer

• Support the development and execution of reliability test plans for MEMS, silicon photonic, and associated electronic components.
• Perform accelerated life testing (e.g., temperature, humidity, shock, vibration) to identify degradation and failure trends.
• Collaborate with test engineering to design and optimize reliability test setups, including scripting or automation support.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret reliability data using statistical techniques (e.g., Weibull, lognormal models, Arrhenius acceleration).Assist with failure mode analysis and contribute to root cause investigations in partnership with failure analysis, packaging, and process teams.
• Document test procedures, results, and findings in structured reports aligned with qualification and industry standards.
• Develop and automate reliability test setups using Python or LabVIEW, including instrument control, data acquisition, and repeatable stress-test execution.
• Contribute to design-for-reliability (DfR) feedback loops to improve device robustness and enable qualification readiness.
• Gain increasing ownership over reliability programs with the goal of maturing into a senior reliability leadership track.

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• 2 - 7 years of experience in reliability engineering, device physics, semiconductor test, failure analysis, or related fields (academic + industry combined acceptable).
• Foundational understanding of reliability concepts such as failure mechanisms, acceleration models, and FIT rate concepts.
• Hands-on experience with device testing, test instrumentation, or stress testing environments.
• Ability to analyze test results using tools such as Python, MATLAB, JMP, or equivalent.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with a passion for understanding how and why devices fail.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to clearly document technical work.
• Familiarity with optical or electrical degradation testing and measurement techniques is essential.

• Experience with MEMS, silicon photonics, or semiconductor device-level reliability.
• Exposure to reliability standards (e.g., JESD22, AEC-Q100, Telcordia, MIL-STD).
• Familiarity with failure analysis techniques (SEM, FIB, optical inspection, X-ray imaging).
• Experience contributing to FMEA / DFMEA processes.
• Knowledge of reliability modeling with activation energies and stress acceleration.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
