Staff Engineer, Reliability Engineering
$130,168 - $188,490 USD yearly
Originally posted 2 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role leads reliability qualification, failure analysis, and product reliability initiatives for power delivery solutions supporting data center applications. The engineer serves as a technical leader directing reliability efforts from technology development through high-volume manufacturing.
What you'll do
- Lead reliability strategy and qualification plans for power management products, including HTOL, HAST, Temperature Cycling, ESD, and Latch-Up testing.
- Collaborate with Design and Product Engineering teams to develop and procure reliability test boards.
- Perform reliability stress tests at internal or external labs, and conduct bench-level testing and evaluation of semiconductor samples.
- Identify semiconductor and package reliability risks during product and technology development using methodologies such as FMEA and DOE.
- Lead root cause investigations of reliability failures using structured problem-solving methodologies, collaborating with Failure Analysis teams to identify physical failure mechanisms.
- Support supplier qualification, process changes, manufacturing transfers, ongoing reliability monitoring, and customer-facing qualification reviews.
What you'll need
- B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of semiconductor reliability engineering experience.
- Experience developing and executing semiconductor qualification plans.
- Hands-on experience with semiconductor reliability test equipment, bench characterization methodologies, and failure analysis techniques.
- Working knowledge of JEDEC qualification and reliability standards.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, package reliability, and failure mechanisms.
- Experience with statistical data analysis using JMP, Minitab, Python, MATLAB, or similar analytical tools.
Nice to have
- M.S. or Ph.D. in a relevant engineering discipline.
- Direct experience with power management products for servers, AI accelerators, networking, or cloud infrastructure.
- Expertise in power semiconductor technologies including Silicon MOSFET, GaN, SiC, or power management ICs.
- Deep knowledge of semiconductor reliability physics, wear-out mechanisms, and lifetime prediction modeling.
- Prior experience with reliability board PCB design or procurement, and experience operating semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE).
- Working knowledge of board-level reliability, thermal characterization, power cycling, or mission profile analysis.
- Familiarity with packaging technologies including WLCSP, flip-chip, FCBGA, QFN, and power modules.
