Reliability Engineer
AI Summary
Builds and drives reliability and qualification strategy for next-generation AI silicon chips, owning automotive-grade qualification execution, stress testing, failure analysis, and cross-functional coordination with design, test, quality, and manufacturing teams.
About this role
Mythic is building next-generation AI silicon, and we're looking for a hands-on Reliability Engineer to help ensure our chips are qualified, robust, and ready for the environment our customers depend on. Early on, you'll help build out the qualification plan for our next-generation product — a chip that blends analog/mixed-signal circuitry and embedded flash memory, with automotive-grade qualification as a critical part of the bar it needs to clear. This is a hands-on, physical-silicon role — centered on stress testing, failure analysis, and qualification execution rather than software or firmware — and it's a great fit for someone who enjoys taking ambiguous, early-stage problems and turning them into rigorous, repeatable qualification and reliability practices that give the company (and our customers) confidence in the product.
What you'll do
Build and drive Mythic's reliability and qualification strategy, including the qualification plan for our next-generation product
Own automotive-grade qualification planning and execution, including stress testing (e.g., HTOL, HAST, TC, autoclave) and reliability modeling
Partner closely with design, test engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to ensure products meet reliability and qualification requirements
Analyze reliability and failure data to identify systematic issues, wear-out mechanisms, and opportunities to improve robustness
Work directly with OSATs, foundries, and external test labs to execute qualification and reliability test plans
Make informed tradeoffs across reliability margin, qualification timeline, cost, and product schedule
Improve infrastructure, documentation, and analytics for reliability tracking and qualification reporting
Operate as an individual contributor who is comfortable getting deep into reliability data, failure analysis, and cross-functional execution
What you'll bring
5+ years of experience in semiconductor reliability engineering, qualification engineering, or a related silicon production role
Experience taking silicon products through automotive qualification (e.g., AEC-Q100 or similar)
Hands-on experience designing and executing reliability stress tests and qualification plans
Deep understanding of semiconductor failure mechanisms, wear-out, and reliability modeling
Strong debug instincts and data fluency — you know how to find signal in noisy reliability and failure data
Experience working cross-functionally with design, test, quality, and manufacturing teams
Comfortable operating with urgency, ambiguity, and a high bar for execution
Builder mindset: you do not wait for perfect structure — you create it
