Principal Semiconductor Reliability Engineer

microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and modules for defense applications. Your subject matter technical expertise in reliability, modeling, testing, semiconductor physics, and applied statistics is key to the success on this role. As a lead engineer, you will need to communicate efficiently and effectively, and you'll also need to demonstrate strong ownership and accountability.

This role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Own end-to-end reliability tasks (plan, design, test, analysis, report) and demonstrate strong initiatives to go above and beyond.

• Interact frequently with a team of process engineers, technology owners, and project leads.

• Reliability test planning and execution, data modeling and producing key metrics such as MTTF, failure rates, safe operating conditions, and corresponding confidence bounds. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of reliability statistics will be necessary.

• Handling compound semiconductor transistors, passive components, and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs).

• Interacting with probe stations and multiple reliability testing systems (DC and RFOL).

• Lead reliability efforts that support wafer foundry's new technology development, new tool qualification, and reliability-oriented design rule verification and development.

• Initiate and report failure analysis of components from reliability testing.

Basic Qualifications:

• Typically a Bachelor's degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) or statistics.

• Minimum of 10 years of reliability testing and characterization experience in semiconductor field.

• Experience in the design and execution of reliability test plans for semiconductor devices under accelerated stress conditions.

• Experience with data analysis and reliability modeling skills.

• Experience with applied statistics in the reliability field.

• Utilize corresponding software such as JMP, MATLAB, or equivalent statistical analysis tools.

• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in STEM or statistics.

• Solid state device physics knowledge.

• Semiconductor wafer fab processing knowledge.

• Project management skills.

• Failure analysis experience with SEM, FIB, STEM, etc.

• Experience in the RF field.

• Experience with lab tools such as probe stations, curve tracers, Keithly/Agilent equipment.

• Experience with programming/scripting.

• Experience with related industry standards such as JEDEC, MIL.

What We Offer:

Whether you're just starting out on your career journey or are an experienced professional, we offer a total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, retirement and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. Some of the benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance and child/adult backup care.

Clearance Information:

This position requires the eligibility to obtain a security clearance. The Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO), an agency of the Department of Defense, handles and adjudicates the security clearance process.
