What you will be doing:
  • Work closely with wafer foundries and various functional groups such as Design, Advanced Technology Group and Operations to develop process reliability requirements for new technology nodes.
  • Drive foundries for NVIDIA’s test vehicle qualifications and process reliability improvement before taping out new products and support product bring-ups and quals.
  • Perform wearout reliability assessments and provide reliability guidance to design teams for Design for Reliability on the next generation products.
  • Provide reliability Vmax, aging guardband guidelines to product teams and develop reliability methodology to optimize product reliability performance.
  • Collaborate with foundries to plan and perform stress tests, and build reliability models for extrinsic failure mechanisms.
  • Interact with foundries for excursion materials and assess a reliability risk for disposition.
What we need to see:
  • Deep understanding of cutting-edge semiconductor process technologies, reliability physics, and acceleration models.
  • Familiar with wearout failure mechanisms (TDDB, BTI, HCI, EM, SM) and models, wafer level reliability tests, test structures, and industry standards (JEDEC, AEC).
  • Proficient in reliability statistics, and hands on experience in failure rate calculations for early life, useful life and wearout period of reliability life curve.
  • Good knowledge of semiconductor process defects/root causes, failure analysis and defect screening methodologies.
  • Solid understanding in circuit reliability and reliability degradation mechanisms.
  • Hands on skills in reliability data analysis, particularly using statistical tools such as JMP.
  • Capability of multi-tasking with priority.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, and presentation skills.
  • Familiar with fab-less business model.
  • Participation in industry standard committees such as JEDEC, AEC and ESDA is a plus.
  • PhD or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related major (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of overall experience in semiconductor reliability.
