Semiconductor Reliability Engineer for Automotive

Mythic; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 165,000 - 195,000; Full time

Job summary

Mythic is pursuing next-generation AI silicon and seeks a hands-on Reliability Engineer to own qualification plans and stress testing for automotive-grade reliability. You will work across design, test, quality, and manufacturing to ensure robustness from qualification to release, handling failure analysis and data-driven improvements.

This role emphasizes physical-silicon work, stress testing (HTOL, HAST, TC, autoclave), and building repeatable reliability practices in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of semiconductor reliability engineering or related silicon production role.
• Experience taking silicon products through automotive qualification (AEC-Q100 or similar).
• Hands-on experience designing and executing reliability stress tests and qualification plans.
• Deep understanding of semiconductor failure mechanisms, wear-out, and reliability modeling.
• Strong debug instincts and data fluency — identify signals in noisy reliability data.
• Experience working cross-functionally with design, test, quality, and manufacturing teams.
• Comfortable operating with urgency, ambiguity, and high execution standards.
• Builder mindset: you create structure rather than wait for it.

Responsibilities

• Build and drive reliability and qualification strategy for the next-generation product.
• Own automotive-grade qualification planning and execution (stress tests and reliability modeling).
• Partner with design, test, quality, and manufacturing to meet requirements.
• Analyze reliability data to identify failure mechanisms and improvements.
• Collaborate with OSATs, foundries, and labs to execute plans.
• Trade off reliability margins, qualification timelines, cost, and schedules.
• Improve infrastructure, documentation, and analytics for reliability tracking.
• Operate as an individual contributor deep in reliability data and cross-functional execution.
