The Role
We are excited to announce the opening of a Senior Reliability Engineer position on our Manufacturing team. This role will be responsible for the development and execution of reliability and qualification plans for semiconductor-based hardware, as well as the interpretation of test data to ensure products meet quality standards and are ready for deployment.
This is a senior individual contributor role that requires strong industrial experience in semiconductor, electronics, or hardware product reliability. The ideal candidate should have experience developing and executing reliability or qualification plans, a strong understanding of reliability testing, life testing, and product qualification principles, and the ability to analyse complex datasets and turn them into practical engineering conclusions.
You will also work directly with external suppliers and manufacturing partners on test execution, qualification, and corrective actions, and review and audit reliability work carried out by external partners. You will collaborate with engineering teams to ensure reliability considerations are incorporated into product development, and communicate technical findings clearly to both specialist and non-specialist stakeholders. You will take ownership of reliability activities from initial planning through to final review and acceptance, and your work will have significant ownership over reliability and life-test reporting, with responsibility for ensuring work is appropriately planned, executed, reviewed, and communicated from start to finish.
