What does a semiconductor reliability manager do?

A Semiconductor Reliability Manager is responsible for ensuring that semiconductor devices and components meet required reliability standards throughout their lifecycle. This involves developing and overseeing reliability testing protocols, analyzing failure data, and implementing process improvements to enhance product durability. They work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to identify potential issues, prevent failures, and ensure products perform consistently in the field. Additionally, they often lead failure analysis investigations and drive corrective actions to improve overall product reliability.

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

A Semiconductor Reliability Manager needs a strong background in materials science, electronics, and reliability engineering, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree and experience in semiconductor manufacturing. Familiarity with reliability testing tools, data analysis software, and industry standards such as JEDEC is essential, along with certifications like Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) being advantageous. Outstanding analytical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills help drive cross-functional teams and manage complex projects. These competencies ensure the development and delivery of robust semiconductor products that meet quality and reliability standards in a highly competitive market.

What are some common challenges faced by a semiconductor reliability manager, and how can they be addressed?

Semiconductor Reliability Managers often contend with rapidly evolving technology, tight project deadlines, and ensuring product reliability meets both customer and regulatory standards. Managing cross-functional teams and coordinating with design, manufacturing, and quality assurance departments is essential to identify potential reliability risks early. Staying updated on new failure analysis techniques and reliability testing methods, as well as fostering strong communication channels between teams, can help address these challenges effectively.

Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
RELIABILITY ENGINEER (STARLINK/AKOUSTIS)
Akoustis is now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX providing industry leading RF filters using patented XBAW technology to help drive the mission of making human life multi-planetary, while also connecting the world through Starlink. Our work helps further the impact that Starlink is already making for millions of users around the world, while allowing us to broaden that reach dramatically and continue connecting the unconnected here on earth.
The Hardware Reliability and Quality Team is an interdisciplinary team that is committed to the reliability of the mechanical and electrical hardware required to connect our customers to our satellites. Your breadth of exposure will span across dozens of areas (mechanical, electrical, RF, software, test, etc.) as you collaborate with core groups at SpaceX to bring hardware from initial concept development to full-scale high-volume production. You will use data to understand the factors that drive process and product reliability in design and manufacturing. You will dive deep into the details to identify, understand, and solve difficult technical problems to influence product design and manufacturing processes. You will be exposed to a hands-on environment that will enable you to spend time on the factory floor and in the test lab to improve the reliability of hardware and, ultimately, the user experience.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Perform hands-on failure analysis to drive root-cause and corrective action of production, test, and on-orbit failures to ultimately improve product reliability, quality, and factory throughput
  • Develop, validate, and implement production processes for existing and next-gen hardware with objective of maintaining consistent quality and high throughput
  • Create data analysis programs to identify production yield, failure rates, and implement statistical process controls
  • Conduct regular build quality reviews to ensure that design intent is achieved and well-communicated; identify opportunities for risk reduction, and removal of complexity in designs and processes to improve manufacturability
  • Determine the appropriate Quality Management System requirements around traceability, non-conformance, and configuration management for the program
  • Define and develop the product qualification's reliability test plan, monitor, testing, and reporting
  • Define ongoing reliability testing strategy to monitor the manufacturing process health, and screen for long-term reliability defects caused by process and component variability

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or physics
  • 1+ years of high-volume semiconductor test or manufacturing experience (internship experience is applicable)

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • 3+ years of high-volume semiconductor test or manufacturing experience
  • Hands-on experience on semiconductor reliability, physical and electrical failure analysis tools like FIB, SEM/EDX, ion cross sect, network analyzer etc.
  • Proven ability to work with cross-functional teams and execute multiple projects simultaneously
  • Demonstrated good and sound analytical skills with the ability to use data for decision-making and process optimization
  • Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-moving and dynamic environment

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
  • Position occasionally requires the ability to work extended hours and weekends when needed
