Sr. Engineer, Photonics Module Reliability
About The Position
Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models. We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Senior Photonics Module Reliability Engineer to join our growing team. In this role, you will be responsible for driving reliability testing across cross-functional teams and executing on these initiatives to enhance the reliability of our semiconductor modules. We are looking for someone with strong planning, analytical, and communication skills to enhance our team.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field
- 2+ years of industry experience with optical module reliability testing
- Experience working with lasers, photodetectors, and optical packaging including identifying their failure mechanisms and solving their reliability challenges
- Demonstrated initiative in proactively identifying and addressing challenges
- Proficiency in statistical analysis techniques, including Weibull analysis, accelerated life modeling, and reliability prediction
- Knowledge of industry standards and specifications, such as JEDEC, MIL-STD, or AEC-Q
Nice To Haves
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field
- Experience in Silicon Photonics
- Experience in setting up laboratory equipment and DOEs
- Experience with failure analysis techniques, such as SEM, EDX, and FIB
- Experience with advanced reliability techniques, such as physics-of-failure modeling and accelerated degradation modeling
- Experience with reliability certification and qualification processes
- Experience with reliability tools and software, such as JMP, Minitab, or ReliaSoft
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute on-site reliability tests, including accelerated life testing (ALT), highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and environmental stress screening (ESS)
- Interface with third-party vendors to clearly define and negotiate details of off-site reliability testing.
- Analyze photonics module reliability data to identify failure modes, mechanisms, and root causes
- Analyze component reliability data to identify potential failure modes as well as gaps to standards such as the Telcordia GR-468
- Conduct reliability risk assessments and develop mitigation plans
- Collaborate with design and process engineering teams to implement design and process changes to improve product reliability
- Utilize statistical analysis techniques to assess product reliability and predicatively model field performance
- Identify and implement reliability improvement strategies, such as design for reliability (DFR) and design for manufacturability (DFM)
- Communicate complex technical information to a wide range of audiences, including reliability engineering, design engineering, management, and customers
- Utilize statistical software to perform data analysis and modeling
