Reliability Engineer ReliaSoftBlockSim Modeling

Summary
Create edit and validate Reliability Block Models of complex equipment using Reliasoft Applications including Weibull BlockSim Xfracas.


KLAs reliability engineer role is different from traditional reliability roles.
The candidate must be proactive not a passive data reporter.
Must seek out data collaborate closely with teams and not wait for information to be provided.

Technical Requirements/Understanding of:

• Reliability best practices
• Failure physics mechanical/electrical engineering materials science
• Accelerated testing scientific basis for test design
• Reliability test plans FMEA reliability block modeling

Experience with:

• 5 to 10 years of experience in System Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Material Science or equivalent with potential to grow into a Reliability Engineer at KLA following KLA-specific processes.
• Large Complex Equipment analysis and modeling of critical subsystems of such equipment
• Reliability tools such as ReliaSoft or equivalent; not required but beneficial.

Soft Skills & Behavior

• Strong communication skills.
• Comfortable influencing others without direct authority.
• Ability to drive design teams toward reliability improvements.
• Ability to present to executives (with support as needed).
• Outgoing collaborative strong teamwork mindset.
• Group motto: Reliability is a team endeavor.

Tools & Skills That Are Nice-to-Have

• Experience with:
• E-beam tools
• ReliaSoft (Weibull BlockSim)
• Other reliability modeling applications

Education & Experience

• Formal reliability degree not required.
• Strong preference for engineering degrees (electrical mechanical physics).
• Minimum 5 years practical experience preferred.
• Experience more important than advanced degrees (though many on the team have PhDs).

Desirable skills and abilities:

• Evaluates from a reliability standpoint the materials properties and techniques used in production.
• Advises design engineering on selection application and test of electronic components and systems.
• Recommends design or test methods and statistical process control procedures for achieving required levels of product reliability.
• Determines reliability requirements of components and systems to achieve company customer and any governmental agency reliability objectives.
• Develops new acceleration techniques and analytical tools to assure the early identification of potential problems with new products packaging processes and product reliability.
• Makes recommendations for changes in the selection and application of components and systems.
• May propose changes in design or formulation to improve system and/or process reliability.
