Key Responsibilities

1. Qualification & Reliability Testing

• Develop and implement comprehensive reliability test plans aligned with IPC‑9592 / IPC‑9592B, the industry standard for design, qualification, and manufacturing conformance of power conversion devices. [rome2rio.com]
• Execute reliability tests relevant to power modules, including:

• High Temperature Reverse Bias (HTRB)
• High Temperature Gate Bias (HTGB)
• Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST)
• Temperature Cycling (TC)
• Power Cycling (PC)
• Thermal Shock, Vibration, Mechanical Shock
• Storage tests (HTS, LTS)
• Life testing & Burn‑in

• Apply Design for Reliability practices defined in IPC‑9592 regarding MTBF, derating, FMEA, corrosion, and moisture sensitivity. [rome2rio.com]

2. HALT / HASS Implementation

• Conduct HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) following IPC‑9592A/IPC‑9592 guidelines for environmental stress testing, mechanical robustness, and early‑life failure detection.

• HALT and HASS coverage includes environmental stress testing (temperature, humidity), HTOB, THB, power cycling, shock and vibration, drop, corrosion, ESD immunity, etc. [headout.com]

• Develop operational and destruct limits for power modules through HALT methodologies and establish production screens under HASS.
