Experienced Reliability Engineer

• Develop, implement, and sustain reliability strategies to improve reliability robustness, performance, and streamline the test process.
• Apply reliability methodologies such as FMEA, Weibull/Lognormal/other statistical analysis, and reliability degradation/improvement modeling.
• Establish and optimize preventive, predictive, and condition-based reliability stress tests.
• Define reliability requirements for new processes/devices and support qualification and early assessment activities.
• Analyze reliability related stress data, failure modes, and maintenance history to identify improvement opportunities.
• Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for chronic and high impact failures and drive corrective and preventive actions.
• Track and report key reliability metrics (e.g., MTBF, MTTR, availability, OEE) and communicate insights to stakeholders.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives using structured problem-solving and statistical analysis.
• Partner closely with operations, technology development, process engineering, and suppliers to improve process/device reliability and stability.
• Provide technical guidance and reliability expertise during failure root cause troubleshooting and recovery events.
• Support process technology engagements related to process performance, reliability improvements, and design changes.
• Develop and maintain reliability standards, best practices, and technical documentation.
• Ensure lessons learned are captured and standardized across tools, areas, or sites where applicable.
• Contribute to reliability training and knowledge sharing within the engineering organization.

We are seeking a highly motivated engineer/scientist to ensure the reliability, quality and performance of advanced semiconductor devices.
