Job Title

Senior Reliability Engineer

Role Summary

Senior Reliability Engineer responsible for developing and executing product-level reliability qualification plans for NVIDIA ICs and modules. This individual contributor role partners with design, packaging, product/test, DFT and customer engineering teams to ensure device qualification, reliability validation and field performance.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 8+ years of IC reliability experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning and executing reliability qualifications, investigating failures, and driving corrective actions across product development.

• Develop product-level reliability qualification plans and implement qualifications for new ICs and modules (FCBGA, CoWoS, MCM) across AI, data center, mobile, automotive and graphics products.
• Coordinate with design, customer engineering, product/test engineering and packaging teams to define qualification scope and device specifications.
• Define and validate qualification test programs with DFT and product teams; run pre/post stress tests and analyze results.
• Investigate failures, identify failure mechanisms, develop failure models and recommend corrective and preventive actions.
• Maintain and improve reliability databases and assess test requirements for non-conforming materials.
• Produce clear reliability qualification reports and presentations for cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 8+ years of experience in IC reliability.
• Technical background in wafer fabrication at advanced process nodes and in Flip Chip BGA and CoWoS packaging and assembly processes.
• Knowledge of CMOS/FinFET device physics, reliability statistics, reliability models and failure mechanisms.
• Familiarity with industry standards such as JEDEC, IPC and AEC-Q100, and with ESD/LU testing procedures and risk assessment.
• Proficiency with reliability data analysis tools (JMP, Weibull++, Minitab).
• Experience collaborating with DFT, product engineering and test teams to develop qualification programs and analyze qualification data.
• Strong analytical and communication skills for failure analysis, modelling and reporting.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with multi-chip modules and qualification of advanced packaging technologies.
• History of leading field-failure investigations and preventive action programs.

Education Requirements

BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering preferred. Equivalent professional experience accepted.
