This role owns supplier quality performance, 8D problem-solving, and OSAT interface for the iPronics Optical Network Engine.
About the role
As a Supplier Quality Engineer, you will serve as the dedicated quality interface between iPronics and Tier 1 OSAT, foundry, and module manufacturing partners. The role oversees supplier-side quality performance, failure analysis, 8D execution, and RMA workflows for Optical Network Engine and photonic switching hardware.
What you'll do
- Act as the primary quality interface to OSATs, foundries, and module suppliers, conducting supplier quality reviews, QBRs, and regular issue tracking.
- Drive DPPM, SPC, Cp/Cpk, and yield-related KPIs across suppliers while ensuring adherence to IQA, OQA, and process control plans.
- Lead structured problem-solving activities (FA, RCA, 8D) for assembly defects, optical alignment failures, packaging anomalies, and reliability escapes.
- Manage the end-to-end RMA workflow, including intake, triage, FA coordination, supplier engagement, and customer communications.
- Review and approve supplier PCN, ECN, and MRB submissions, ensuring process stability through SPC and correlation studies.
- Build reporting dashboards for supplier quality performance and partner with NPI teams through proto, EVT, DVT, and mass production transitions.
What you'll need
- 5+ years of experience in semiconductor, photonics, OSAT, or advanced packaging quality engineering.
- Direct experience working with OSATs or foundries within a fabless operating model.
- Hands-on experience with FA, RCA, 8D, SPC, Cp/Cpk, DPPM tracking, and supplier quality systems.
- Familiarity with assembly processes such as flip-chip, fiber attach, active alignment, molding, underfill, or photonic module integration.
- Ability to interpret optical, electrical, mechanical, and reliability data to support quality decisions.
Nice to have
- Experience in start-up or scale-up environments.

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.
