What does a semiconductor reliability engineer do?

A Semiconductor Reliability Engineer ensures that semiconductor devices and components meet reliability and quality standards over their expected lifespan. They design stress tests, analyze failure mechanisms, and work on improvements to enhance product durability. Their role involves collaborating with design, manufacturing, and testing teams to identify potential weaknesses and implement solutions. By conducting reliability assessments and failure analysis, they help ensure product performance in various operating conditions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a semiconductor reliability engineer?

To thrive as a Semiconductor Reliability Engineer, you need a strong background in materials science, semiconductor physics, and data analysis, usually supported by an engineering degree. Experience with reliability testing platforms, Failure Analysis tools (like SEM, TEM), and familiarity with industry standards such as JEDEC or ISO are typically required. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities set you apart in this role. These competencies are critical to ensuring product quality, identifying reliability risks, and delivering robust semiconductor devices in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment.

What are the typical challenges faced by semiconductor reliability engineers in their day-to-day work?

Semiconductor Reliability Engineers often face challenges such as identifying the root causes of device failures, balancing tight project timelines, and keeping up with evolving industry standards and technologies. The role requires meticulous attention to experiment design and data interpretation, as even small errors can impact the reliability assessment of products. Collaboration with cross-functional teams—including design, process, and test engineering—is also a key aspect, ensuring reliability considerations are integrated throughout development. Staying adaptable and proactive helps overcome these challenges, making the work both dynamic and rewarding.

Job description

About Samsung Austin Semiconductor
Samsung is a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, founded on the belief that the pursuit of excellence creates a better world. At Samsung Austin Semiconductor, we are Innovating Today to Power the Devices of Tomorrow.
Come innovate with us!
Position Summary
The AMHS Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is a critical member of the software operations organization, responsible for guaranteeing the uncompromising 24x7 reliability and scalability of the software controlling Samsung's automated material transport ecosystem. In this role, you will ensure the seamless performance of the Material Control System (MCS) and OHT Control System (OCS), tackling complex server-side bottlenecks and network communications (IPC, RPC) to prevent fab operational disruptions.
Your primary objective is to transform reactive incident response into proactive reliability. Beyond immediate operational support, you will spearhead the modernization of AMHS infrastructure by leveraging Python, Java, and modern SRE practices. You will design scalable data pipelines, implement comprehensive observability frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana), and manage the orchestration of services via Docker and Kubernetes. Working at the intersection of software engineering and manufacturing execution systems (MES), you will build sophisticated automation tooling to reduce manual toil and optimize critical middleware (e.g., RabbitMQ, Redis). Ultimately, your data-driven optimizations will ensure the AMHS control software scales seamlessly, directly driving the throughput and productivity of our high-stakes semiconductor fabrication site.
Role and Responsibilities
Here's What You'll Be Responsible For:
  • AMHS Control Software Reliability: Ensure the high availability, performance, and scalability of the AMHS controlling software suite (e.g., Vehicle Control Systems, fleet routing logic, and material tracking applications) rather than the physical hardware.
  • Back-end Data Engineering & Monitoring: Design, build, and maintain scalable back-end data pipelines to process high-throughput logs and events generated by fab control systems. Develop proactive monitoring and observability solutions.
  • Incident Response & Software Troubleshooting: Act as the primary escalation point for AMHS software anomalies. Troubleshoot complex software bottlenecks, network communications (IPC, RPC), and server-side issues to minimize fab downtime.
  • Operations Automation: Reduce manual toil by developing robust automation scripts and tools for deployment, configuration management, and system recovery.

Skills and Qualifications
Here's what you'll need:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Minimum of 3+ years of work experience in semiconductor-related industries.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes, OR direct experience working as a Software Engineer, SRE, or DevOps Engineer within a semiconductor fabrication (Fab) environment.
  • Proven hands-on experience in Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or DevOps roles.
  • Strong background in Back-end Data Engineering, including experience with ETL processes, relational/NoSQL databases, and managing large-scale data pipelines.
  • Observability (o11y) & Middleware- Proficiency with monitoring, alerting, and visualization tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, as well as message brokers and in-memory data stores like RabbitMQ and Redis
  • Capability to document technical details in depth with expectation of strong English language skills.
  • Strong proficiency in navigating, troubleshooting, and administering Linux/Unix environments.
  • Experience with equipment control protocols (e.g., SECS/GEM) or manufacturing execution systems (MES) is a strong plus.

The current base salary range for this role is between $90,000.00 - $115,000.00. Individual base pay rates will depend on factors including duties, work location, education, skills, qualifications and experience. Total compensation for this position will include a competitive benefits package and may include participation in company incentive compensation programs, which are based on factors to include organizational and individual performance.
