Reliability Hardware and Test Lead

Overview

In this role you will lead reliability qualification for optical components, partnering with cross-functional teams to ensure product robustness. You will analyze ageing and failure modes, develop degradation models, and communicate results to customers. You’ll apply physics-of-failure methods to inform design and manufacturing decisions while shaping reliability programs. This position offers impact across product life cycle and opportunities to influence technology and process improvements.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement optical component reliability qualification programmes
• Assess ageing characteristics and quantify risks via degradation models
• Interface with customers on reliability documentation and work
• Solve problems through test, characterization, and statistical data analysis

Key requirements

• Master in Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Material Science or related discipline
• 5+ years in semiconductor optoelectronics with reliability and qualification experience
• Experience in reliability framework tools (DFR, FMEA, FTA)
• Proficiency in accelerated life testing and life-prediction using statistics (Reliasoft/Weibull++, JMP, Minitab, Python)
• Ability to communicate technically with internal and external customers
• Excellent report writing and presentation skills

• interpersonal skills
• project management
• proactive collaboration
• optoelectronic reliability and failure modes (lasers, photodetectors, modulators, resistors, waveguides, fibre coupling)
• reliability modeling and life-testing
• Design for Reliability (DfR), FMEA, FTA
