Testing Engineer for Reliability

We are looking for a Testing Engineer for Reliability to join our dynamic and cross-functional team in the field of high-speed photonics. You will play a key role in the development, testing, and reliability analysis of photonic integrated circuits and plasmonic modulators. This role involves collaboration with cross-functional teams, identifying failure mechanisms and implementing solutions, which ensure the optimal performance and reliability of products.

• Tools and Automation Development: Develop, automate and maintain reliability testing methods for photonic integrated circuits and plasmonic modulators, including assessment of optical, thermal, and electrical performance over time.

• Reliability Testing: Plan and execute industry-standard reliability tests, such as accelerated life and environmental stress testing for product lifecycle under real-world application conditions.

• Lifetime prediction: Perform data analysis for reliability trends and lifetime prediction.

• Cross-Functional Teams Collaboration: Cooperate with the development team to monitor and execute reliability validation plans for new photonic integrated circuit products, aligning with product characteristics and customer requirements.

• Documentation and Reporting: Visualize results and write detailed reliability testing reports. Prepare comprehensive executive summaries for internal and external stakeholders. 

• Leadership: Manage own tasks and projects within the process engineering team. Manage expectations of different stakeholders. Supports reliability assurance and product development team in identifying failure mechanisms and proposing improvements.

• Bachelor's degree in quality engineering, material science, reliability engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a similar discipline.

• Hands-on experience with optical and electrical high-frequency characterization of photonic or electronic devices.

• Experience in the development and the analysis of optical or electronic
  systems. 

• Hands-on experience developing automated test software, with proficiency in Python.

• Experience in a reliability-focused role, specifically in the field of photonics or electrical components.

• Experience of failure mechanisms, reliability engineering principles, and statistical process control.

• Previous experience in agile project management methods (e.g. SAFe, Scrum,…) is a nice-to-have.
