TL;DR · Senior Reliability Engineer

JOB TITLE: Senior Reliability Engineer The Senior Reliability Engineer joins the lab team to ensure the reliability of silicon powering the AI era. This role involves building next-generation HTOL boards and running HTOL processes on advanced ovens to solve hardware reliability challenges. Key responsibilities include implementing and optimizing HTOL test programs aligned with JEDEC standards, designing and debugging burn-in boards, and applying sophisticated thermal management techniques. The engineer will operate high-power HTOL chambers, perform pattern bring-up, and maintain reliability databases. Required skills include expertise in HTOL stress testing, Temperature Cycling, Reflow, and Thermal Shock. Candidates must possess proficiency with oscilloscopes, current probes, and data acquisition tools. Technical requirements include programming experience with Python or MATLAB for automation and data analysis, alongside experience with ATE, PCB debugging, and statistical lifetime modeling.

What you'll do

  • Implement and optimize HTOL test programs aligned with JEDEC standards.
  • Operate and maintain HTOL ovens to ensure efficient test conditions and high data accuracy.
  • Design, debug, and bring up HTOL burn-in boards and patterns.
  • Apply sophisticated thermal management techniques to control temperature and mitigate thermal stress.
  • Debug and resolve hardware and software product issues within the HTOL environment.
  • Maintain and improve the reliability database to identify opportunities for process improvement.
  • Collaborate with vendors to develop improvements for burn-in boards, HTOL systems, and thermal interface materials.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in HTOL test system operation and data analysis for semiconductor devices.
  • Proven expertise in HTOL stress testing, JEDEC standards, and environmental stress tests like TC, Reflow, Thermal Shock, and HAST.
  • Strong ATE or TE skills, including pattern bring up and PCB board debugging and design.
  • Hands-on experience with high power HTOL chambers, including operation, repair, and preventative maintenance.
  • Proficiency with oscilloscopes, current probes, and other test equipment for data acquisition and analysis.
  • Programming experience with Python or MATLAB for data analysis and automation.
  • Experience with multi-die HTOL testing and high power GPU or SoC board design (preferred).
