Role Summary
Join the Intrinsic Reliability (iRel) Group in Limerick as a P2 Reliability Engineer responsible for characterizing novel technologies (electrochemical biosensors, magnetoresistive sensors) via device reliability testing and lifetime analysis. The role partners with device, process and failure-analysis teams to de-risk technologies and develop reliability test methods.
Experience Level
Mid-level (P2 / Experienced). No explicit years-of-experience requirement stated.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities focus on early risk identification, test development, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Engage early with technology and product teams to assess device and process risks relative to customer expectations.
- Design and execute reliability tests for electrochemical and semiconductor devices, using industry-standard and bespoke stress methods.
- Develop and apply accelerated lifetime and statistical models to evaluate technology robustness.
- Collaborate with failure analysis and process/product development to localize failures and identify root causes.
- Maintain awareness of industry best practices and present or attend relevant reliability conferences.
Requirements
Must-have skills and practical abilities, plus a few advantages noted.
- Ability to multitask, prioritize, and pivot between multiple work streams.
- Strong teamwork, interpersonal, and written/verbal communication skills; able to work independently and in teams.
- Practical experience designing and executing device reliability tests and interpreting results.
- Knowledge of reliability engineering principles is an advantage.
- Experience with Python or JMP for lifetime-data modelling is an advantage.
- Experience developing bespoke stress tests and lifetime-acceleration techniques is desirable.
- Note: some positions may require export licensing review for access to technical data.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a related field is required at minimum. A Master’s degree or relevant early-career work experience is considered an advantage; equivalent practical experience is acceptable where indicated.
