Reliability Engineer

My client is looking for a Reliability Engineer, focused on silicon photonics and integrated laser devices. You will support R&D through to manufacturing in a deep-tech scale up. This is an onsite position based in Grenoble, France. 

Responsibilities

• Define and execute reliability test plans for photonic integrated circuits, with focus on integrated laser sources
• Design and run accelerated lifetime testing including HTOL, thermal cycling and damp heat
• Analyse failure mechanisms across lasers, waveguides and packaging
• Perform root cause analysis using optical, electrical and materials characterisation
• Develop reliability models and lifetime predictions based on test data
• Work with design, process and packaging teams to improve robustness and yield
• Define qualification standards aligned to datacom and telecom requirements
• Support transition from R&D into manufacturing

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in physics, photonics, electrical engineering or related field
• Experience in semiconductor or photonic device reliability
• Hands‑on experience with lasers, optoelectronic devices or silicon photonics
• Experience with accelerated testing methodologies and failure analysis
• Understanding of materials and interfaces such as III‑V semiconductors and silicon
• Data analysis experience using Python, MATLAB or similar tools
