• Develop and maintain reliability prediction models for leading-edge client microprocessors.
• Define and execute Quality and Reliability Validation (QRV) plans for product qualification.
• Collect and analyze QRV data, debug failures, and translate results into customer risk assessments.
• Provide reliability risk assessments for new features, performance enhancements, and varied use conditions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, test engineering, product qualification, process technology) to resolve reliability roadblocks.
• Deliver failure estimates using state-of-the-art reliability simulation tools.
• Optimize test flows to reduce cost while maintaining quality standards.
• Support Product Release Qualification (PRQ) and manage post-PRQ issues to ensure consistent quality.
• Design and execute reliability experiments, analyze results, and integrate findings into models.
• Act as the voice of quality in project management forums, ensuring PLC criteria are met.
• Ensure awareness and compliance with silicon and packaging qualification data collection requirements, including ESD, Latch-up, RFI, DPZ, Early Life Failure, extended HTOL (High Temperature Operating Life) testing, as well as package-level qualifications such as TCB (Thermal Cycling Bake), HAST (Highly Accelerated Stress Test), and Bake.
