Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, design, and execute reliability test plans for fiber-coupled multi-emitter pump modules and semiconductor laser diodes
- Conduct and analyze accelerated lifetime, burn-in, stress, and qualification testing
- Apply statistical methods to evaluate lifetime, degradation, failure rates, and confidence intervals
- Identify key reliability drivers and sensitivities in design and processes
- Investigate failure mechanisms and perform root-cause analysis of device degradation
- Prepare clear reliability reports and data-driven technical recommendations
Required Qualifications:
- Master's degree with 3-6+ years of relevant experience, or PhD with 3+ years of industrial experience, in one of the following fields (Reliability Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics or Materials Science)
- Strong background in reliability engineering for optoelectronic devices, semiconductor devices, photonic components, or laser diodes
- Deep understanding of statistics and lifetime data analysis, including Weibull modeling, Kaplan-Meier methods, log-normal modeling, probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and uncertainty analysis, etc.
- Strong experience with design of experiments and statistical test planning
- Experience with accelerated life testing and degradation modeling
- Ability to analyze reliability data using tools such as Python, R, or equivalent statistical software
Preferred Qualifications:
- Knowledge of optoelectronic packaging and material/interface reliability
- Experience with failure analysis techniques (SEM, FIB, EDX, microscopy)
- Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate complex technical results
