Manufacturing Quality and Reliability Senior Engineer
Focus on semiconductor reliability risk assessments and testing processes including TDDB, HCI, BTI, and HTOL for N4, N3, and N2 fabrication.
About the role
As a Manufacturing Quality and Reliability Senior Engineer, you will ensure product quality and dependability by defining DPPM targets, assessing reliability risks, and resolving technical challenges. This work supports semiconductor fabrication across N4, N3, and N2 process technologies.
What you'll do
- Establish and monitor DPPM goals for advanced technology processes and drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce defect rates.
- Conduct product reliability risk assessments for fab events, covering CP, DVS, baking, and HTOL.
- Apply structured problem-solving methodologies including PDCA, 8D, 3Leg/5Why, and Kepner-Tregoe (KT) to resolve technical issues.
- Review engineering changes to evaluate their impact on product quality, process reliability windows, and procedure adherence.
- Collaborate with customers on product reliability evaluations, test screening methods, and process reliability window assessments.
- Lead reliability improvement projects, organize cross-functional assessment plans, manage RA test resource arrangements, and conclude go/no-go decisions.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Reliability, or a related field with 3 years of Manufacturing Quality and Reliability experience, or a Master's degree in a related field with 1 year of experience.
- Familiarity with reliability testing processes including TDDB, HCI, BTI, EM (Electromigration), and SM (Stress Migration).
- Knowledge of tools such as 4082, MPPT, and Sagi.
- Programming experience in Excel VBA and Python.
- Proven ability to evaluate and implement engineering changes while maintaining reliability standards.

How we counted: 530 open Reliability Engineering (Reliability Engineering) roles from 78 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 12 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.
