Senior Staff Reliability Engineer

Role Summary

Member of the Reliability Engineering team within Marvell Quality focused on reliability/qualification, reliability testing, supplier enablement and risk analysis for semiconductor products across data center, enterprise and carrier lines.

Primary mission: define and execute product qualification strategies and reliability testing to ensure product robustness through design, vendor qualification, and failure analysis.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical experience: 5–10 years of related industry experience; candidates with an advanced degree may qualify with 3–5 years.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include planning and executing product qualification and reliability programs.

• Define qualification strategy and prepare qualification plans for new products and processes.
• Build and manage product qualification schedules and provide status updates.
• Specify and coordinate design and delivery of qualification hardware (HTOL, HAST boards, burn-in fixtures) with labs and internal teams.
• Drive execution of HTOL, HAST and other reliability tests; ensure robust, error-free test runs.
• Manage reliability suppliers/subcontractors and support vendor qualification and changes in design/manufacturing/materials.
• Lead failure analysis activities and produce product qualification reports and documentation.
• Support customer quality and reliability information requests.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance.

• 5–10 years relevant industry experience (or 3–5 years with an advanced degree); specific semiconductor reliability/qualification experience preferred.
• 3+ years experience in product qualification and reliability testing for semiconductor products.
• Proven experience developing high-power HTOL and production burn-in for wafer/package-level advanced-node products.
• Hands-on experience with HTOL setup, stress pattern bring-up, execution of testing, and test hardware design.
• Demonstrable IC reliability testing knowledge (HTOL, environmental stress, ESD/LU testing, SER, PIC testing).
• Familiarity with semiconductor fab and packaging processes, packaging technologies, and qualification project planning/scheduling.
• Knowledge of industrial standards and stress methodologies (JEDEC, AEC, Telcordia; HTOL, HAST, TC, HTS, ESD, LU).
• Strong communication, organization, and cross-functional collaboration skills; ability to work independently and with teams.
• Experience managing vendors and subcontractors for reliability testing.
• Preferred: experience with statistical reliability data analysis tools (JMP, ReliaSoft, Minitab), FMEA/risk assessment, advanced-node MCMs and advanced packaging, lifetime modeling, and reliability HW setups for life and environmental stresses.
• Note: role may require eligibility for access to export-controlled technology and information.

Education Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field (preferred) with 5–10 years of experience; or a Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 3–5 years of experience. Equivalent practical experience in semiconductor reliability/qualification is also considered.
