Silicon Reliability Engineer

What You'll Do

• Define and maintain qualification plans for process/device technologies (tests, sampling, conditions, acceptance criteria), based on risk assessment, and ensure execution to plan.
• Participate in design reliability reviews; provide guidance on corrective actions and product stressing/testing.
• Drive and track reliability stress testing and data analysis (e.g., intrinsic wear-out mechanisms, latent/extrinsic defects, margin assessment) and issue clear conclusions and reports.
• For foundry technologies, review qualification/reliability information provided by the foundry, verify compliance with NXP requirements, and work with the modeling and tools/flows teams to implement and validate reliability checks; identify gaps and drive closure actions.
• Lead and participate in cross-functional discussions with technology development, process integration, design engineering, product and test engineering, systems engineering, tools and flows, and quality on reliability, risks, learnings, and required improvements.
• Support investigation of reliability-related escapes or anomalies (root-cause, containment, corrective actions) and ensure lessons learned are integrated into future qualification plans.
• Ensure documentation is complete, traceable, and available per agreed storage/record expectations for reliability deliverables (reports/presentations as applicable).
• Key Interfaces (stakeholders) Process/Device Integration, Technology Development and Transfer, Design Engineering, Product/Test Engineering, Systems Engineering, Modeling, Failure Analysis, Reliability Test Operations/Life Test Engineering, Quality/PRQE, and external foundry partners.
• Your team The Reliability team is responsible for assessing reliability and delivering collateral for all technologies (Advanced CMOS, High-Voltage and RF) within NXP.
• We work closely together with design, product, test, and systems teams to successfully launch products made in internal factories as well as external foundries.
• We work on leading-edge technologies for applications in the Automotive (Radar, Radio, Infotainment), IoT (Microcontroller), and Mobile (Payment, NFC, UWB), utilizing a wide range of technologies, including FinFET, FDSOI, embedded NVM, high-voltage/analog, and SiGe technologies.
• Your profile To be successful in this role you have: MSc/PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Microelectronics Science or other related technical field. 5 or more years of experience in semiconductor reliability engineering, technology qualification, failure mechanisms, or reliability physics.
• Strong knowledge of semiconductor device and reliability physics, reliability modeling and mathematics, working knowledge of circuit design and product stressing, data analysis and statistics, device development applications in Digital-, Mixed Signal-, RF- and/or High Voltage domains.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills in English, both verbal and written.
• Furthermore, you are: A team player, willing to work in international and multi-disciplinary teams in issues resolution.
• Flexible and able to multi-task.
• Independent, self-motivated, and willing to learn.
