Laser Component Reliability Engineer

Lead Laser Component Reliability Engineer

We are seeking a Lead Laser Component Reliability Engineer to support reliability analysis and qualification activities for semiconductor laser diodes and fiber-coupled laser modules. This role will focus on accelerated life testing, degradation analysis, statistical lifetime modeling, and reliability risk assessment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute reliability test plans for laser and optoelectronic components.
• Conduct accelerated life, burn-in, stress, and qualification testing.
• Analyze reliability data using statistical methods to evaluate lifetime, degradation, and failure rates.
• Investigate failure mechanisms and perform root-cause analysis.
• Prepare technical reports and provide data-driven recommendations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support product qualification and reliability improvements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree with 5+ years of experience, or Master''s degree with 3+ years of experience, or PhD with 3+ years of industry experience in Reliability Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Experience in reliability engineering for optoelectronic, semiconductor, photonic, or laser-based products.
• Strong knowledge of reliability statistics, including Weibull analysis, lifetime modeling, and design of experiments (DOE).
• Experience with accelerated life testing and degradation modeling.
• Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Python, R, or similar statistical software.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of optoelectronic packaging and material/interface reliability.
• Experience with failure analysis techniques such as SEM, FIB, EDX, and microscopy.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
