Description

CGD is looking for a Senior/Principal Reliability Engineer to join our growing engineering team. The Senior/Principal Reliability Engineer will primarily be responsible for all reliability aspects of CGDs GaN power devices and ICs. This includes designing the reliability experiments as well as analysis and developing reliability models. The Senior/Principal Reliability Engineer will also develop new electrical reliability tests, specifically for GaN ICs, and gain insight into their reliability by collaborating with TCAD and multi-physics simulation engineers. In this role, the successful applicant will be able to use and develop new knowledge on power devices, GaN and reliability testing, which is at the forefront of GaN device R&D.
Ultimately, the Senior/Principal Reliability Engineer will be responsible for producing confident reliability data and information for CGD and our customers.
This role is based at the company’s office and lab in Cambridge, UK, although it is expected that some travel will be required from time to time.
This role could be full time or ‘family-friendly’ part time.
Main Responsibilities Design and execute device reliability characterisation experiments of GaN power ICs Development of characterisation strategies and test planning (DOE) Development of GaN device reliability models Develop new test methods for GaN-IC reliability Write reliability-specific application notes and white papers Lead reliability aspects of Technology R&D and Product R&D projects Design and run customer-specific tests Lead TCAD and multi-physics simulation projects for reliability insight Liaise with electrical engineers for the development of reliability characterisation systems
Requirements Essential A degree in a relevant engineering or science subject Expert knowledge of power semiconductor device reliability, preferably GaN Good knowledge of statistical methods for data analysis and software such as JMP, Minitab or Python Strategic thinker with practical skills and experience Inspires confidence in colleagues, partners and customers Comfortable in a fast-paced start-up environment Willing and able to travel and work with partners in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pro-active by nature, responsive to the changing needs of projects and the business Good communication and presentation skills.
