Introduction

In this reliability engineering role you will work cross-functionally with integration, device, and design teams among others in the RF product line to drive reliability objectives through development and qualification. A solid background in semiconductor device physics and reliability is essential to the success in this role. SiGe HBT and RF-SOI reliability understandingwill be an added advantage.

Responsibilities:

• Drive reliability planning, testing, and assessments forfoundry technologies (CMOS on SOI and SiGe HBT + CMOS in SiGe BiCMOS processes)for RF application.Majority of the work shall be related to front-end device reliability qualification.

• Develop Safe Operating Area (SOA) models for RF switches and Power Amplifiers while working with device and modeling teams

• Drive root cause analysis of reliability test, initiate failure analysis work, propose corrective actions, and continually update FMEAs

• Prepare qualification plans and reports for both internal and external customers

• Function as a technical resource for reliability lab operations

• Coordinate logistics in preparing samples, allocating test time, reviewing test data, initiating the FA process

Required Qualifications:

• An advanced Degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or other applicable fieldwith essential device physics subjects.

• BS with 5 years of experience or MS 3 years or PhD + 1-2 year of semiconductor technology and product reliability engineering experience with RF (will be an advantage)

• A strong foundation of device and reliability physics, accelerated testing methodology, and reliability modelling methodology

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with cross-functional and globally distributed teams to drive solutions to reliability challenges.

• Experience with RF technology device performance and reliability
