Intel CorporationJob Title
Product Quality and Reliability Engineer
Role Summary
The engineer develops reliability models and risk assessments to enable qualification and launch of advanced semiconductor products. The role works across Product Quality & Reliability, Design, Process, Manufacturing, and Foundry teams to predict product reliability, identify risks, and support data-driven qualification and product-release decisions.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Typical experience guidance: approximately 2–5 years (for candidates with an advanced degree) or 5+ years (for candidates with a B.Tech or equivalent).
Responsibilities
Accountable for modeling, analysis, and cross-functional delivery of reliability assessment and qualification readiness.
- Develop and execute reliability models to assess product lifetime and qualification readiness.
- Evaluate failure mechanisms including EM, TDDB, BTI, HCI, thermal and package-related degradation.
- Analyze qualification, characterization, and manufacturing data to quantify reliability risk.
- Conduct reliability projections, scenario analyses, and risk assessments for new features and technologies.
- Drive cross-functional investigations and resolution of reliability concerns.
- Improve modeling methodologies, automation, and predictive analytics capabilities.
- Present reliability recommendations to technical teams and management stakeholders.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and advanced packaging.
- Experience in reliability modeling, accelerated stress testing, and qualification methodologies.
- Knowledge of EM, TDDB, BTI, HCI, package reliability, and wear-out mechanisms.
- Proficiency with Python, JMP, MATLAB, Minitab, or equivalent analytical tools.
- Strong statistical analysis, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Experience in reliability validation, product development, or test engineering.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience supporting PRQ/qualification decisions.
- Experience with advanced-node process technologies or advanced packaging.
- Familiarity with 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 field. The posting also references M.Tech/PhD candidates (typical experience 2–5 years) and B.Tech candidates (typical experience 5+ years).
