Define and execute reliability qualification for III-V photonic devices and optical amplification modules.
About the role
You will define and execute reliability and qualification activities for III-V photonic devices, optical assemblies, and optical amplification modules. The role targets lifetime and reliability requirements for deployment in AI and datacenter applications.
What you'll do
- Define reliability requirements, qualification plans, and test specifications for III-V photonic chips and optical assemblies.
- Analyze degradation trends and reliability data to estimate product lifetime and identify failure mechanisms.
- Lead failure analysis and root-cause investigations alongside internal teams and external laboratories.
- Plan and manage reliability testing with external parties, including contract manufacturers and equipment suppliers.
- Establish internal reliability testing capabilities, encompassing equipment selection, procurement, test setup, and automation.
What you'll need
- Master’s degree or PhD in photonics, electrical engineering, physics, materials science, or a related discipline.
- More than 5 years of industrial experience in the reliability or qualification of III-V photonic devices, optical components, or optical assemblies.
- Understanding of III-V/InP devices and associated degradation and failure mechanisms.
- Hands-on experience with optical assembly reliability, including die attach, wire bonding, fiber or lens alignment, epoxies, solder joints, and thermal interfaces.
- Experience with failure analysis, root-cause investigation, and defining/managing reliability tests with external suppliers or specialist laboratories.
- Proficiency with Python, JMP, Minitab, or equivalent data-analysis tools.

How we counted: 532 open Reliability Engineering (Reliability Engineering) roles from 78 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
