• Working knowledge of intrinsic and extrinsic reliability requirements.
• Ability to specify stress conditions (HTOL, HAST, TC, UHAST, ESD, Latch‑Up), sample sizes, interim read‑points, and pass/fail criteria for new product qualification and requalification activities in line with the manufacturing strategy.
• Understanding of semiconductor device physics, IC manufacturing, and packaging technologies.
• Excellent interpersonal and customer communication skills.
• Understanding of quality system requirements.
• Demonstrated analytical skills and the ability to use data‑driven approaches to resolve quality and reliability issues.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications

• Knowledge and experience of automotive reliability requirements (e.g., AEC Q100).
• Knowledge and experience of common silicon and package failure mechanisms.
• Ability to handle multiple projects and deadlines, and work efficiently as part of a team or independently.
