We are seeking a Product Quality & Test Reliability Engineer to join our rapidly growing team. This is a unique opportunity to own the technical vision for our products, work with a world‑class multi‑disciplinary team, and make a tangible impact from the ground up.
What You Will Do
- Drive reliability execution for photonic components including Silicon Photonics ICs, lasers (DFB, CW lasers, etc.), and optoelectronic SiPs used in high‑speed optical networks.
- Partner with R&D and design engineering to provide early reliability input during the product development lifecycle.
- Define and execute qualification plans aligned with Telcordia/GR‑468, JEDEC, and other relevant standards for telecom and datacom products.
- Conduct accelerated life testing (ALT), failure analysis, degradation modeling, and root‑cause investigations to guide design and process improvement.
- Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams including Photonics Design, Packaging, Manufacturing, Quality Engineering, Product Marketing, and Supply Chain to ensure robust product development and transfer to production.
- Lead supplier qualification activities and implement supplier quality metrics for critical photonics components.
- Support supplier audits, assess factory capability, process controls, reliability models, and product roadmaps.
- Support the infrastructure to perform incoming component validation.
- Develop and maintain Design for Reliability (DfR) methodologies, including predictive modeling and statistical analysis.
- Prepare, present, and document technical reviews, reliability reports, and risk assessments for internal and customer‑facing engagements.
Key Qualifications
- M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Photonics, Physics, Materials Science, or related field, or equivalent experience in photonics reliability engineering with direct exposure to Silicon Photonics, laser technologies, and optical transceivers.
- Strong background in photonics device physics, photonics packaging, and failure mechanisms.
- Demonstrated success supporting NPI programs and product qualification from concept through volume production.
- In‑depth knowledge of relevant standards (GR‑468, Telcordia, JEDEC, MIL‑STD).
- Proficiency with reliability modeling, statistical analysis (Weibull, Arrhenius), and tools such as JMP, Minitab, or similar.
- Hands‑on experience with reliability test systems (HTOL, HAST, T/H, TC) and FA tools (SEM, FIB, X‑ray, spectroscopy).
- Effective communicator with the ability to influence cross‑functional and supplier teams.
- Experience in a fast‑paced, high‑tech environment serving telecom/datacom markets.
Preferred Skills
- Experience in integrated photonics packaging and co‑design (optical + electrical).
- Familiarity with wafer‑level reliability and optical wafer probing.
- Prior experience on engagements with Tier‑1 datacenter customers or hyperscalers.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
- Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance.
- Professional development opportunities and certification support.
- Access to cutting‑edge photonics technology and advanced packaging environments.
- Collaborative work environment with cross‑functional teams solving complex engineering challenges.
