Assist with setup, monitoring, and completion of reliability tests, including temperature cycling, high temperature storage, humidity testing, HTOL, THB, MSL preconditioning, vibration, and mechanical shock.
Coordinate with third-party reliability and environmental test partners to communicate test requirements, provide sample information, track test progress, and support timely completion of qualification activities.
Perform pre-test, interim, and post-test inspections, including visual inspection, electrical verification, and documentation of results.
Maintain accurate reliability records, including sample status, serial numbers, test conditions, inspection results, failures, photographs, and observations.
Support failure analysis activities by preparing samples, tracking failures, coordinating CSAM, X-ray, cross-section, decapsulation, SEM, or other analysis methods, and organizing related results.
Operate and support reliability lab equipment, including environmental chambers, ovens, microscopes, power supplies, meters, data loggers, and related test equipment.
Identify and report sample abnormalities, equipment issues, unexpected test conditions, or potential reliability concerns to the Reliability Engineer or Reliability Manager.
Maintain sample traceability, lab organization, equipment records, and a clean, safe, and ESD-compliant working environment.
