We develop highly sophisticated optical sub-assemblies (OSAs), including, among others, high-performance lasers for the data- and telecommunications market.\nAbout the position\nEFFECT Photonics is looking for an experienced - Reliability Engineer - R&D (Eindhoven, The Netherlands).\nWe are seeking an experienced engineer with knowledge of reliability testing, to join our Validation & Reliability team within our world class R&D department in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. You will be responsible for the execution of reliability testing, data interpretation and follow up. But also provide input on product level reliability strategies, in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders.\nNot only will you run reliability testing on PIC and integrated (sub)module level but also contribute to the overall reliability and testing strategy. This requires a full understanding of photonic devices that make use of our EFFECT Photonic’s Integrated Circuits and Integrated Tuneable Lasers (ITLA’s). But also, of industry reliability standards, like Telcordia and ISO, etc. With the ideal candidate also having experience initiating improvements based on reliability results. Our validation and reliability framework relies on fully automated test scripts, so proficiency with standard software languages, is a big advantage. The focus of the role will be on reliability activities. But other lab related activities can be relevant also, to support team members, or when relevant deep dives are needed.\nThe responsibility of EFFECT Photonic’s Validation & Reliability team is to validate and qualify the newest PIC designs as well as full products. This in close collaboration with the PIC Design, Foundry and Product Development teams. These critical results drive future product development. Our multi-disciplinary team is comprised of experts in optics, electronics, mechanics, software, reliability and validation. Our core values include innovation, fostering fun in an energized environment, with a lot of attention to personal growth and development.\n About You\nDo you get energized by working with high-tech optical equipment? Are you passionate about delivering key optical and electrical metrics for PIC and submodule performance in order to improve quality? Do you enjoy using fact-based data to enhance our designs and electronics performance? And you feel responsible for the proper execution of reliability testing in a broad sense, then wait no longer and apply for a job with EFFECT Photonics!\nThe ideal candidate has experience testing integrated photonics components for the telecom sector. But experience with (reliability) testing of microchips or other high-tech modules in general, can bring interesting new insights to the table. Furthermore, experience with creating and executing reliability strategies according to industry standards is a big advantage in this role.\nResponsibilities\n Role responsibilitiesDevelop product reliability strategies in accordance with industry standards (Telcordia).\n\nPerform reliability and validation testing on Building Block, PIC and integrated full circuit designs.\n\nReport out on results via standardized reporting and update meetings.\n\nDevelop new testing capabilities based on the existing framework, in a team effort.\n\nDefine and develop automation test scripts (C++ and Python).\n\nParticipate in or lead RCA’s.\n\nRequirements\n Required / Desired knowledge, skills, and abilities\nMSc in Electrical engineering, Photonics or similar.\n\nAt least 5 years experience as test, validation or reliability engineer.\n\nGood understanding of industry quality standards.\n\nExperience with Qualification and Reliability methodologies.\n\nGood understanding of integrated PIC technology and wafer foundry technologies.\n\nExperience in test activities (laser physics, electro-optical testing).\n\nExperience in development and use of (automated) lab equipment.\n\nStrong analytic and data analysis skills with Excel, JMP or similar.\n\nExperience with statistical methodologies like 6-sigma.\n\nPreferably 3-5 year of experience in script development in either Python or C++.\n\nHands on and proactive attitude.\n\nLikes to work in the labs with high-tech equipment (not only a desk job).\n\nCoordination with other teams and suppliers.\n\nBenefits\nWe are a collaborative Technology Company, and we’re building a truly dynamic and rewarding place to work.\nReward and Benefits\nBenefits are a critical component to consider when taking on a new challenge.
