As a Senior Optical Reliability Engineer, OISL Reliability, you will join the OISL Reliability team to ensure the long-term performance and reliability of optical systems, components, and subsystems, including laser-based technologies and optical amplifiers. You will develop reliability models, conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), and root cause analysis (RCA) for complex optical systems. Your daily work involves executing accelerated life testing (ALT) and highly accelerated life testing (HALT) programs while applying Weibull analysis and other statistical tools to predict product lifetime. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to establish verification plans and manage technical documentation. The role requires expertise in opto-electronics, reliability engineering principles, and data analysis using Python, MATLAB, or JMP. This position focuses on the critical challenge of ensuring high availability for next-generation optical interconnect systems.
Develop and maintain reliability models and frameworks for optical and electrical components.
Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), fault tree analysis (FTA), and root cause analysis (RCA).
Execute accelerated life testing (ALT) and highly accelerated life testing (HALT) programs for optical components.
Apply Weibull analysis and other statistical tools to predict and improve product lifetime.
Establish reliability requirements and verification plans for new product development programs.
Support qualification and validation activities for optical and electrical components and assemblies.
Create and maintain technical documentation including test plans, reports, and specifications.
What we're looking for
Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted as a refugee/asylee for export control compliance.
Bachelor's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field.
Experience with optics, opto-electronics, and electronics.
Experience with reliability engineering principles including models, failure distributions, and statistical analysis.
Experience with system-level reliability concepts like reliability block diagrams and availability modeling.
Experience with reliability tools and methodologies such as Weibull++, ReliaSoft, FMEA, and FTA.
Experience with data analysis and statistical software like Python, MATLAB, or JMP.
Master’s or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related discipline (preferred); experience with electrical design, optical communication systems, industry standards, and aerospace/optical communications roles (preferred).
