Reliability Engineer - Austin, TX, United States
$165,000 - $195,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 1 October 2026 by the employer.
This role focuses on qualifying chips with analog/mixed-signal circuitry and embedded flash memory, ensuring automotive-grade qualification.
About the role
This role involves hands-on reliability engineering to qualify robust chips for customer environments, with a critical focus on automotive-grade qualification for a product blending analog/mixed-signal circuitry and embedded flash memory.
What you'll do
- Own automotive-grade qualification planning and execution, including stress testing (e.g., HTOL, HAST, TC, autoclave) and reliability modeling.
- Analyze reliability and failure data to identify systematic issues, wear-out mechanisms, and opportunities to improve robustness.
- Work directly with OSATs, foundries, and external test labs to execute qualification and reliability test plans.
- Improve infrastructure, documentation, and analytics for reliability tracking and qualification reporting.
- Operate as an individual contributor comfortable with reliability data, failure analysis, and cross-functional execution.
What you'll need
- 5+ years of experience in semiconductor reliability engineering, qualification engineering, or a related silicon production role.
- Experience taking silicon products through automotive qualification (e.g., AEC-Q100 or similar).
- Hands-on experience designing and executing reliability stress tests and qualification plans.
- Deep understanding of semiconductor failure mechanisms, wear-out, and reliability modeling.
- Strong debug instincts and data fluency in noisy reliability and failure data.
- Experience working cross-functionally with design, test, quality, and manufacturing teams.
