Reliability Engineer - Pune, India
About the role
This role involves defining, planning, and executing comprehensive qualification testing for high-voltage GaN HEMTs and SiC MOSFETs.
What you'll do
- Define, plan, and execute qualification testing for high-voltage GaN HEMTs and SiC MOSFETs to meet industrial and automotive standards (JEDEC, AEC-Q101, and AQG324).
- Conduct Failure mode and effects analysis and root cause analysis on failed devices, investigating and mitigating WBG-specific degradation modes.
- Partner with device design, process integration, and Failure Analysis (FA) teams to isolate root causes of device failure and implement physical corrective actions.
- Manage external reliability test execution, including test plan communication, sample logistics, stress condition verification, data collection, and schedule tracking.
- Operate electrical lab bench instrumentation, including oscilloscopes, function generators, programmable power supplies, digital multimeters, electronic loads, and in-situ DAQ systems.
- Identify, evaluate, and qualify new suppliers for PCB fabrication, assembly, tooling, and test services.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Semiconductor Engineering) or a closely related technical discipline.
- Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor reliability testing, electrical characterization, qualification execution, failure analysis support, or engineering lab operations.
- Familiarity with JEDEC standards including Burn-in, Temperature Cycling, Temperature Humidity Bias, HAST, MSL, Power Cycle.
- Foundational understanding of semiconductor device physics, specifically high-voltage power devices, p-n junctions, and wide bandgap material properties.
- Ability to interpret and technically review qualification circuits, including biasing schemes, stress-condition implementation, device connections, protection elements, measurement points, and test-fixture interfaces.
- Some knowledge of PCB schematic and layout tools such as Cadence or Altium, including schematic capture review, component placement assessment, routing and stack-up review, design-rule verification, and fabrication/assembly package generation.
Skills: qualification testing, GaN HEMTs, SiC MOSFETs, JEDEC, AEC-Q101, root cause analysis
