Description
Job Description:
We are looking for a reliability engineer to own the reliability of the LCM itself — the chip at the core of everything Lumotive ships. The LCM is a new class of semiconductor device combining a CMOS backplane, novel thin-film material stacks, and liquid crystal, and it can fail in ways that go beyond the standard CMOS reliability playbook. This is not a turn-the-crank qualification role: some failure modes are unfamiliar, the acceleration models often have to be built from data we generate ourselves, and the person in this seat is expected to develop a deep, first-principles understanding of how and why LCMs fail.
You will design and run accelerated stress tests, perform hands-on failure analysis, build lifetime models, and correlate reliability outcomes back to wafer fab process splits, materials, and assembly. Just as importantly, you will look ahead for failure modes we have not characterized yet — anticipating how a new device in new use conditions can behave — so the team understands the risks early. Your findings will directly drive process, design, and materials decisions and help accelerate our ramp to high-volume production.
