Optical Engine Reliability Manager

Avicena Tech; Sunnyvale (CA); Presencial; USD 120.000 - 190.000; Tempo integral

Resumo da vaga

Avicena Tech in Sunnyvale, CA seeks a Reliability Engineer to lead the qualification of optical engines used in transceiver products. You will own the reliability strategy for the optical engine, bridging optics with ASICs, and drive plans from design through production release.

The role requires building qualification plans, executing stringent tests (HTOL, temperature cycling, damp heat, ESD), analyzing data, and leading root-cause investigations to ensure robust field performance.

Qualificações

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, optical engineering, physics, materials science, or related fields.
• 5+ years of experience in reliability engineering, with demonstrated experience across both optical components and integrated circuits.
• Hands-on experience building and executing qualification plans for optoelectronic or semiconductor products (transceivers, optical modules, or similar).
• Working knowledge of industry reliability standards (Telcordia GR-468-CORE, JEDEC, MIL-STD-883, AEC-Q100, or similar).
• Experience with reliability statistics: Weibull analysis, Arrhenius/activation energy modeling, accelerated life testing, FIT rate calculation.
• Strong failure analysis skills (or close collaboration experience with FA teams) — familiarity with tools/techniques such as decapsulation, SEM, EDX, curve tracing, etc.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills; ability to translate technical risk into clear qualification decisions for engineering and customer audiences.

Responsabilidades

• Own the qualification plan end-to-end: Design, document, and execute a comprehensive reliability qualification plan for optical engines designed for transceiver end products, aligned with industry standards and customer-specific requirements.
• Define test matrices: Determine stress tests and sample sizes based on failure mode analysis and statistical confidence targets.
• Bridge optics and IC domains: Evaluate reliability risks across the full optical engine and identify interaction effects between optical and electrical subsystems.
• Drive execution: Coordinate with test labs, manage sample builds, track test progress, and meet qualification milestones.
• Failure analysis: Lead root cause investigation for reliability failures with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions.
• Data analysis & reporting: Analyze reliability data (Weibull, Arrhenius modeling, activation energy) to project field lifetime and prepare qualification reports.
• Continuous improvement: Feed lessons learned from qualification and field returns back into design and process guidelines.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work with optical design, ASIC/IC design, packaging, manufacturing, and product/program management teams.
