Reliability Engineer

Job Title

Reliability Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for qualifying, characterizing, and transferring analog/mixed-signal CMOS IC products from prototype to mass production. Lead reliability and package/process qualifications, product characterization, statistical analysis, and cross-functional project execution to support volume release and yield improvement.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The role requires substantial hands-on semiconductor reliability experience; the posting indicates a minimum of 8+ years in analog/mixed-signal device reliability.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning and executing reliability and characterization activities, driving projects to production, and supporting customers and manufacturing.

• Plan and perform reliability qualification tests (ESD, LU, HTOL) and package qualifications.
• Characterize product performance across process, voltage, temperature (PVT) and generate statistical reports.
• Transfer designs from prototype samples to mass production according to schedule and quality targets.
• Lead cross-functional project teams and drive milestones for production release, cost reduction, and yield improvement.
• Support package/process qualification and validate ATE PVT with controlled GRR experiments.
• Provide customer support: investigate product issues, prepare reports, and participate in customer meetings.
• Drive defect-per-million-parts (DPPM) reduction to meet quality targets.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and professional attributes required for this role.

• Minimum 8+ years of experience in semiconductor reliability, focusing on analog/mixed-signal devices using CMOS processes.
• Proven failure analysis and problem-solving skills to resolve design, test, package, or process-related performance and yield issues.
• Strong project management, communication, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Experience with characterization data collection, statistical analysis, and report generation.
• Track record of driving quality targets and production readiness.
• Self-motivated and results-oriented team player.
• Nice-to-have: hands-on knowledge of ESD and LU testing, burn-in-board (BIB) design, and guard-banding test limits for system/process/mechanical/PVT variance.

Education Requirements

Candidate must possess at least a Bachelor's, Professional, or Master's degree in Engineering (Electrical/Electronic) or equivalent practical experience.
