Product Quality and Reliability Engineer
Role Summary
The Product Quality and Reliability Modeling Engineer develops reliability models and risk assessments to enable qualification and launch of advanced semiconductor products. The role partners with Product Quality & Reliability, Design, Process, Manufacturing, and Foundry teams to predict product reliability, identify risks, and drive data-driven qualification decisions.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Role expects experienced engineering contributors with relevant reliability modeling and qualification experience; typical background aligns with the listed minimum qualifications.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include reliability modeling, risk assessment, data analysis, and cross-functional technical leadership.
- Develop and execute reliability models to assess product lifetime and qualification readiness.
- Evaluate failure mechanisms such as EM, TDDB, BTI, HCI, thermal and package-related degradation.
- Analyze qualification, characterization, and manufacturing data to quantify reliability risk.
- Perform reliability projections, scenario analysis, and risk assessments for new features and technologies.
- Drive cross-functional investigations and resolve reliability concerns with Design, Process, Manufacturing and Foundry teams.
- Improve modeling methodologies, automation, and predictive analytics capabilities.
- Communicate reliability findings and recommendations to technical and management stakeholders.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.
- Proven experience in reliability modeling, accelerated stress testing, and qualification methodologies.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and advanced packaging reliability.
- Familiarity with failure mechanisms: EM, TDDB, BTI, HCI, package reliability, and wear-out modes.
- Proficiency with analytical tools and scripting (Python, JMP, MATLAB, Minitab, or equivalent).
- Strong statistical analysis, problem-solving, and written/verbal communication skills.
- Experience in reliability validation, product development, and test engineering workflows.
Preferred / nice-to-have:
- Experience supporting production qualification (PRQ) and qualification decision-making.
- Experience with advanced process nodes or advanced packaging technologies.
- Knowledge of AI/ML techniques applied to reliability prediction.
- Demonstrated technical leadership across complex product programs.
Education Requirements
MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Reliability Engineering, or a related technical field. The posting also references M.Tech and B.Tech qualifications; typical experience expectations were given alongside degree level (e.g., 2–5 years for M.Tech/PhD and 5+ years for B.Tech).
