Own end-to-end reliability for the Light Control Metasurface (LCM) chip at the core of programmable optics. Design and run accelerated stress tests, perform hands-on failure analysis, and build statistical lifetime models to correlate reliability outcomes with wafer fab splits, materials, and assembly variables. Define burn-in and screening pass/fail criteria, develop analysis tooling, and communicate new failure modes and study conclusions to drive process and design decisions toward high-volume production.

Location: Redmond
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Data Analytics & Business Intelligence
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own core LCM reliability at the chip level: define the stress test strategy, execute it, and lead authority on LCM failure modes, mechanisms, and lifetime.
  • •Design and run accelerated life tests (HTOL, temperature cycling, humidity/biased-humidity, optical exposure) and define new stress conditions to surface latent failure modes early.
  • •Perform hands-on failure analysis with optical and electrical inspection, defect tracking, root-cause hypothesis generation and testing, and precursor identification.
  • •Build statistical lifetime models (time-to-failure distributions, acceleration factors, activation energies) to project reliability from accelerated conditions to customer use conditions.
  • •Correlate reliability outcomes with wafer fab process splits, materials experiments, and assembly variables; define pass/fail criteria and burn-in/screening strategies, and maintain analysis tooling to produce conclusions and next steps.
