Electrical Engineer, Silicon Reliability Test (Starlink) joins the Starlink silicon reliability team at the intersection of electrical, packaging, semiconductor, and manufacturing engineering. This role involves performing package-level and wafer-level reliability testing, including HTOL and other accelerated life tests to identify root causes of failures in microelectronics. The engineer will develop and procure custom test hardware, design PCBs for fixtures, and create automation scripts using Python, C++, or SQL to manage data acquisition and telemetry. Key responsibilities include executing test campaigns aligned with JEDEC standards, performing electrical characterization using oscilloscopes and vector network analyzers, and analyzing reliability data through Weibull and acceleration models. The role focuses on the qualification of new silicon packages and manufacturing technologies to ensure high-volume production reliability for Starlink devices by driving design and process improvements based on failure investigations.
