Electrical Engineer, Silicon Reliability Test (Starlink)

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own package-level (HTOL, LTOL, etc.) and wafer-level (TDDB, ECM, etc.) reliability qualification and testing of new silicon designs and manufacturing technologies for high-volume production
• Plan, develop, execute, and analyze reliability test campaigns aligned with JEDEC and related standards
• Develop and procure custom test hardware, fixturing, burn-in boards, and environmental chambers/systems required for package-level and wafer-level reliability testing
• Design and develop PCBs and electrical interfaces for reliability test fixtures, sockets, and monitoring systems
• Develop software, automation scripts, and data acquisition tools (e.g., Python) to control test equipment, log telemetry, perform real-time monitoring, and analyze large reliability datasets
• Perform hands-on debugging and electrical characterization to drive root cause and corrective action of silicon, package, and interconnect failures observed in reliability testing, production, or the field
• Utilize advanced diagnostic and test tools (oscilloscopes, power supplies, vector network analyzers, custom firmware/scripts, thermal chambers, etc.) to characterize devices under stress and isolate failure mechanisms
• Run reliability failure investigations, coordinating efforts across silicon design, packaging, manufacturing, and reliability teams, and communicating findings to leadership
• Analyze reliability data (Weibull, acceleration models, etc.) to predict field performance, document failure modes, and drive design/process improvements for higher yield and reliability
• Partner with design, packaging, software, test, and manufacturing engineering teams to deliver reliable silicon hardware by informing product design, package selection, process changes, and test coverage
• BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or other engineering discipline
• PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
• 1+ years of experience in semiconductor reliability, packaging reliability, consumer electronics, aerospace, automotive, or similar high-reliability industry
• Masters degree or PhD in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a related field with a focus on semiconductors, characterization, or test
