Competitive Compensation & Benefits Package
Reliability Engineering Manager Overview
We are on the lookout for a Reliability Engineering Manager to spearhead the reliability strategy, yield optimization, process validation, and failure analysis efforts within a cutting-edge electronic substrate manufacturing setting. This position will be instrumental in advancing and scaling the development of next-generation packaging technologies tailored for high-performance and high-reliability applications.
The ideal candidate will possess a solid foundation in semiconductor or advanced materials manufacturing and have a proven track record of enhancing process stability, product qualification, minimizing defects, and providing cross-functional manufacturing support from development through to production ramp-up.
Reliability Engineering Manager Responsibilities
- Lead initiatives focused on enhancing reliability and yield across sophisticated substrate and interconnect manufacturing processes.
- Design and uphold systems for process monitoring, yield analysis techniques, SPC controls, and defect tracking metrics aimed at elevating manufacturing performance.
- Conduct root cause analyses and implement corrective measures pertaining to reliability issues, process variations, and yield reduction factors.
- Oversee qualification testing programs, encompassing environmental, thermal, electrical, and mechanical reliability assessments for new products and process alterations.
- Collaborate closely with process engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, testing, and product teams to enhance process capabilities and ensure readiness for production.
- Support qualification and scaling efforts for advanced packaging technologies, such as multilayer substrates, fine-line interconnect technologies, via technologies, and specialized surface finishes.
- Generate technical reports, customer qualification documents, reliability summaries, and responses for corrective actions.
Reliability Engineering Manager Qualifications
- A Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field; an advanced degree is preferred.
- A minimum of 8 years of experience in semiconductor packaging, advanced electronics manufacturing, substrate technology, or similar process engineering contexts.
- Deep knowledge of reliability engineering, failure analysis, statistical process control, and methodologies aimed at improving manufacturing yield.
- Familiarity with industry reliability standards and qualification testing practices.
- Proficient in statistical analysis tools and methods for data-driven problem-solving, including DOE, SPC, Cp/Cpk, GR&R, and JMP.
- Experience in new technology introduction, pilot production, or scaling manufacturing operations is desirable.
- Knowledge of advanced substrate technologies, fine-line circuitry, metallization techniques, or high-density packaging structures is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with analytical tools and failure analysis techniques such as microscopy, cross-section analysis, X-ray inspection, or electrical characterization is advantageous.
- Candidate must meet eligibility requirements for accessing export-controlled information in compliance with applicable regulations.
