Job description

We are LSP – Light Sensors & Photonics, one of three business units within ams OSRAM, advancing the digitalization of light. At LSP, we go beyond traditional sensing—combining light, silicon, and system expertise to enable digital photonics solutions. Our focus is clear: powering next-generation applications in data centers, AR/VR, mobile and automotive, where light becomes a critical interface for data, perception, and interaction. This evolution marks a shift from components to integrated photonics systems —driving performance, scalability, and innovation in high-growth segments.

• Plan, coordinate and evaluate process and device reliability qualification for new and modified semiconductor technologies
• Define and execute wafer-level reliability (WLR), accelerated stress and lifetime testing, including test conditions and acceptance criteria
• Analyze reliability data, degradation mechanisms and failure modes to establish degradation models
• Contribute to reliability risk assessments, root-cause investigations and continuous improvement, providing recommendations to Technology Development, R&D and Manufacturing
• Develop and maintain reliability methodologies and monitoring strategies, and document qualification results and technical conclusions

• MSc or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or a related technical discipline
• Strong understanding of semiconductor devices, CMOS processes and physical reliability/degradation mechanisms
• Experience with semiconductor reliability testing, preferably including WLR, accelerated testing, statistical data analysis and lifetime modelling
• Knowledge of relevant reliability methodologies and mechanisms such as TDDB, BTI, HCI, electromigration and stress migration
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, combined with a proactive, independent working style and ability to collaborate in international, cross-functional teams
• Proficiency in English is required, fluent German is beneficial
