# Quality & Reliability Engineer - Semiconductor Manufacturing - MQR

- **Company:** European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
- **Location:** Dresden, Germany
- **Experience:** Starter
- **Contract:** Internship / Graduate position
- **Skills:** R (Programming Language), Python (Programming Language), Minitab, Software Reliability Testing, Statistical Process Control (SPC), JMP (Statistical Software), Ishikawa
- **Published:** August 18, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.de/details/5845229593

## About the Role

* Education: Master's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
 * Professional Experience: 0 to 3 years of initial experience, internships, or academic project work in a semiconductor fab, microelectronics cleanroom, or a comparable high-tech manufacturing environment.
 * Analytical Mindset: Familiarity with basic quality tools and systematic problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa, SPC).
 * Language Skills: Professional working proficiency in English (essential for the training in Taiwan and daily international technical collaboration).
 * Mobility: Full willingness and flexibility to complete the 9~12-month onboarding and training program in Taiwan.

Nice to Have

 * Direct experience with semiconductor reliability testing (e.g., HTOL, ESD, Latch-up).
 * Knowledge of automotive quality standards (e.g., AEC-Q100, IATF 16949, ISO 26262).
 * Experience with statistical data analysis software (e.g., JMP, Minitab, R, or Python).
 * Basic to conversational German language skills.

## Description

* In-Process Quality Control: Supervise, monitor, and assess in-process wafers in the fab to ensure production conforms to strict quality baselines.
 * Risk Assessments: Perform systematic product reliability risk assessments when unexpected production events occur (utilizing CP, DVS, baking, HTOL, etc.).
 * Engineering Change Verification: Evaluate the impact of manufacturing and process changes on final product quality and long-term reliability.
 * Qualification & Monitoring: Execute robust process and product qualifications and establish routine reliability testing schedules.
 * Continuous Improvement: Drive projects to reduce customer line and field returns (DPPM) through systematic process improvements.
 * Structured Problem Solving: Lead and execute root-cause analyses for complex technical issues using industry-standard methodologies (such as 8D, PDCA, 5-Why, and Kepner-Tregoe).
 * Global Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams in Germany and Taiwan to maintain and align quality standards.
