Accountabilities include reliability characterization, test development, modelling and cross-team collaboration to identify and mitigate device/process risks.
- Characterize electrochemical biosensors and magnetoresistive/semiconductor devices using reliability and lifetime testing.
- Engage early in new technology developments to assess design, manufacturing and customer risks.
- Design and execute bespoke stress tests and lifetime acceleration techniques to de-risk novel devices.
- Develop statistical lifetime models and analyze lifetime data to evaluate robustness.
- Collaborate with failure analysis and process/product development teams to localize failures and determine root causes.
- Keep current with industry best practices and participate in device/circuit reliability conferences.
Requirements
Core skills and qualifications required or considered advantageous.
- Ability to multitask and shift priorities effectively.
- Strong teamwork, interpersonal and written/verbal communication skills; able to work independently and in cross-functional teams.
- Practical experience with device testing, data analysis, or reliability workflows is desirable.
- Experience with Python or JMP for lifetime data modelling is an advantage.
- Knowledge of reliability engineering practices is an advantage.
- May require export licensing review for access to certain technical data (applicants should be aware of potential export-control eligibility checks).
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in chemistry, physics, materials science or a related technical field is required. A Master’s degree or relevant early-career work experience is advantageous. The posting references academic degrees only; no certifications were specified.
