Job Summary

As a Senior Reliability Engineer in our semiconductor backend assembly and test operations, you will be responsible for ensuring that products consistently meet reliability standards throughout their lifecycle. This role involves developing and executing reliability testing procedures, analyzing results against JEDEC standards, and driving improvements in reliability performance. You will work closely with production, quality, and engineering teams to identify root causes of reliability issues, implement corrective actions, and enhance product robustness. By leveraging your expertise in IC packaging and PCBA reliability, you will play a key role in safeguarding product quality, customer trust, and long-term operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

1. Reliability Testing and Validation

• Develop and implement reliability testing procedures aligned with industry standards (e.g., JEDEC).

• Conduct reliability tests such as temperature cycling, HAST, thermal shock, bake, reflow, pressure cook test (PCT), and vibration testing.

• Validate that products meet defined reliability acceptance criteria during and after the manufacturing process.

2. Reliability Issue Management

• Identify, analyze, and report reliability issues to stakeholders with clear cause, conclusion, and recommended FA steps when required.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address reliability concerns and implement corrective/preventive actions.

3. Documentation and Reporting

• Prepare detailed reliability reports based on test outcomes, JEDEC standards, and internal requirements.

• Maintain and update reliability documentation to ensure accuracy and compliance with company and customer requirements.

4. Reliability System Development

• Evaluate, maintain, and continuously improve the existing reliability management system.

• Ensure inventory control and test equipment utilization are aligned with reliability procedures.

• Check finished products against drawings, specifications, and reliability acceptance criteria prior to shipment or delivery authorization.

Qualifications

• Education:

  • Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Thermodynamics Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience:

  • Minimum 5 years of proven experience in reliability engineering, preferably in EMS or semiconductor backend manufacturing.

• Technical Expertise:

  • Hands-on experience with reliability test equipment such as temperature cycling, HAST, thermal shock, baking ovens, reflow systems, PCT, and vibration testers.

  • Strong knowledge of IC packaging processes and PCBA reliability.

  • Proficiency in preparing reliability reports with clear cause-conclusion analysis based on JEDEC standards.

• Skills:

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Attention to detail with ability to drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.

  • Effective communication skills to collaborate with production, quality, and customer teams.

  • Commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
