TL;DR · Reliability Engineer Lead, Custom Silicon Management

The Reliability Engineer Lead – Custom Silicon Management joins the Silicon Technologies group to lead the introduction and qualification of new products with high quality. This role involves driving requirements for product, process, and package qualification while managing reliability stress test conditions from the design stage through completion. Key responsibilities include overseeing Design for Reliability and Design for Test, performing First Article Inspections, conducting yield and correlation analyses, and investigating nonconformance events through FA, CAR, and 8D reporting. The role requires expertise in JEDEC reliability and quality standards to manage silicon product level reliability qualification and lifetime behavior models. Candidates must navigate complex technical challenges involving electrical bias, thermal effects, and supplier management for silicon Fab processes, packaging, and assembly to ensure the performance of high-performance, power-efficient system-on-chip technology.

What you'll do

  • Drive the execution of product, process, and package qualification and reliability stress tests from design through completion.
  • Review Design for Reliability and Design for Test to ensure hardware stress-ability and testability.
  • Manage all aspects of qualification preparation including electrical bias, thermal effects, and lifetime estimation.
  • Perform First Article Inspections (FAI) to validate critical goals before engineering and production release.
  • Investigate and resolve qualification fallouts and nonconformance events using FA, CAR, 8D, and reporting methods.
  • Conduct yield and correlation analyses for all test levels including Pareto building and statistical analysis.
  • Audit supplier sites and manage supplier performance regarding fabrication, packaging, assembly, and testing.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree.
  • Experience with JEDEC reliability and quality related standards.
  • 10+ years of semiconductor engineering in a Reliability and/or Quality/Product Engineering role (preferred).
  • Experience with silicon product level reliability qualification and lifetime behavior model (preferred).
  • Prior experience defining hardware setups and equipment for life, environmental, ESD, Latch-Up, and other tests (preferred).
  • Validated auditing of supplier sites, materials, and processes (preferred).
  • Experience driving suppliers in areas including silicon Fab process, packaging, assembly, test, and post-production qualification (preferred).
  • Familiarity with process flows, specifications, and supervising supplier performance such as Cpk and yield (preferred).
