Jobbeschreibung

Optical Reliability Sr Staff/Principal Engineer

Category: Chip Design

Location: San Jose, CA

Experience: More than 8 Years Work Expe.

Job Description

• Reliability Strategy & DfR: Partner closely with PIC (Photonic Integrated Circuit), component, and assembly design teams early in development to implement Design for Reliability (DfR) principles.
• Risk Assessment: Lead FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DFMEA sessions with cross-functional groups to proactively flag and mitigate potential product failure points.
• Qualification & Standards: Author and execute comprehensive product qualification plans at the component, assembly, and module levels, ensuring strict compliance with GR-468 (Telcordia) and JEDEC industrial testing standards.
• Advanced Reliability Modeling: Develop and execute accelerated life test strategies, including Reliability lifetime Modeling, activation energy (Ea) extraction, and use-condition acceleration metrics to extrapolate product reliability boundaries.
• Packaging Reliability: Define and model the Reliability Failure Modes of Silicon / Packaging technologies, specifically targeting challenges in 2.5D / 3D packaging, Multi-Chip-Modules, and high-density optoelectronic interfaces.
• Statistical Data Analysis: Utilize statistical tools like JMP to analyze process, qualification, and degradation data to maintain product FIT (Failures in Time) and MTBF estimates.
• Failure Analysis & Customer Operations: Lead complex root-cause failure analysis (FA) for qualification drop-outs and field returns (RMA), driving robust 8D corrective actions.
• Ecosystem Management: Oversee qualification execution and scale quality control structures directly with global OSAT partners and contract manufacturers (CM).

Main Requirements and Qualifications

• Education: Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related engineering field.
• Experience: 8+ years of hands‑on experience in product quality, qualification, and reliability engineering specializing in optoelectronic hardware.
• Domain Expertise: Strong engineering background in semiconductor optical devices, including III‑V platforms (e.g., InP, InGaAs), Silicon Photonic platforms, and directly modulated Micro-LED (GaN) architectures.
• Packaging Mastery: Proficient understanding of physics-of-failure modes tied to high-density sub‑assemblies, Multi-Chip-Modules, and 2.5D / 3D packaging schemes.
• Data Command: Expert-level capability utilizing JMP for statistical analysis, Weibull math, and life-data distributions.
• Standards Knowledge: In-depth familiarity with accelerated stress environments (HTOL, HAST, ESD/LU) rooted specifically in GR-468 benchmarks.
• Salary range: $188,000- $301,000
• Employee may be eligible for performance bonus, short and long term incentive programs. Actual total compensation will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience and qualifications. In addition, MediaTek provides a variety of benefits including comprehensive health insurance coverage, life and disability insurance, savings plan, Company paid holidays, Sick Leave, Vacation time, Parental leave, 401K and more.
