About the role#
The CMOS BEOL Reliability Engineering Intern will join the Fab 8 Reliability Engineering organization. You will support the development and implementation of an inline methodology to assess risks associated with critical back-end-of-line defects in automotive products. This role involves connecting manufacturing defect data with reliability physics to create actionable monitoring insights and product-relevant risk metrics.
What you'll do#
- Learn the fundamentals of BEOL reliability, semiconductor failure mechanisms, inline defect monitoring, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis.
- Analyze inline defect data and scanning electron microscope images to evaluate manufacturing defects.
- Connect observed defect types with BEOL degradation mechanisms to assess reliability criticality.
- Perform statistical analysis to understand risk drivers and estimate defective-parts-per-million.
- Develop data-analysis and visualization tools or dashboards to communicate defect trends and risk.
- Support the development of monitoring methodologies for automotive products.
- Collaborate with Reliability Engineering, Contamination-Free Manufacturing, and Process Integration teams.
- Document methods, results, and develop a defect catalog.
- Deliver a final technical presentation on your risk-assessment methods and findings.
- Perform all activities in a safe manner that supports Environmental, Health, Safety, and Security requirements.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment as at least a sophomore in a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD program.
- Pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
- An overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.
- English language fluency.
- Ability to work at least 40 hours per week.
- Strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently and within a cross-functional team.
Location & details#
- Location: Malta, New York.
- Term: Summer 2027.
