Your Job

To strengthen our team, we are seeking a BEOL/MOL Reliability Engineer. In this role, you will focus on interconnect reliability within an interdisciplinary team, collaborating with a global network of design, process, and integration stakeholders.

• Develop and execute BEOL/MOL reliability technology qualifications (e.g., EM, IMD-TDDB, SM, TC at highly integrated metallization, reliability of passive device).

• Analyze reliability test data and drive failure root cause investigations.

• Define reliability requirements and ensure compliance with customer, internal and global standards.

• Collaborate with process and integration teams to optimize metallization schemes and materials.

• Support technology development by assessing reliability risks for new processes and design changes.

• Drive MRB/PCRB (Material/Product Review Board) decisions through comprehensive reliability assessments integrating inline metrology, electrical testing and reliability data.

• Own reliability-related design rules and models within PDK releases.

• Continuously enhance reliability methodologies, models, and simulation approaches, leveraging AI-assisted techniques.

• Prepare technical reports and present results to internal stakeholders and customers.

• Support R&D projects and contribute to international conferences and workshops.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s, Diploma or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.

• Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and BEOL integration schemes.
