• Developed Field Reliability Test Plan based for beta-site product.• Developed lamination process and increased module efficiency by ~20%.• Defined component purchasing specs based on accelerated test results on various components

• Qualify product components and suppliers• Design reliability studies/test plan of PV modules and sub-components• Maintain oversight of reliability projects to ensure adherence to the test plans, maximum utilization of the available equipment and timely completion of the projects• Troubleshoot test failure and improve test equipment and methods• Use of SEM/EDX tool to examine polymeric component degradation aging process• Use of UV-Vis Spectrometer and concentrated UV-beam to study clear material degradation rate• Study material degradation mechanism (chemical reaction or mechanical fatigue) and design method to accelerate normal usage condition in order to predict product lifetime• Analyze experiment data and issue Reliability test reports• Established an ORT (Ongoing Reliability Test) procedures to monitor possible process shift• Design SQL queries and Excel macros to automate technicians’ daily tasks• Manage product certification project (CSA, VDE, JET, etc.) and pre-test products and identify risks before submission

• Used reliability models to establish reliability targets and requirements; determine sample size, test conditions and predict failure rates and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).• Prepare and execute reliability test plan, including the generation of reliability test protocol and report. Test plan includes Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) / Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HASS), accelerated life testing, packaging and shipping test and other techniques that predict failures, such as vibration, drop and shock tests.• Troubleshoot and determine root cause of failure found during reliability testing.• Conduct reliability reviews of products, and report on the reliability status of the system to the project lead.• Guide the implementation of design rules in a project, such as component derating, etc.

• Responsible for DVT and reliability testing of USB Mass Storage product line. • Defined hardware, firmware, and application test requirements, number of test cycles; executed test, determined the root cause of Flash memory, Backend Systems, Front End, Firmware and mechanical failures and drive for corrective and preventive action. • Prepared and executed reliability test plan, including the generation of reliability test reports. Test plan includes Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) / Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HASS), accelerated life testing, packaging and shipping test and other techniques that predict failures, such as vibration, drop and shock tests.• Continuously monitored released products by performing compatibility and characterization tests on qualified USB products to ensure process consistency.• Designed and validated reliability test fixtures.• Analyzed MDDS (Material Declaration Data Sheet) and CoC (Certification of Compliance) from suppliers to ensure products are RoHS compliant.• Analyzed field return (RMA) data; categorized failure symptoms; drove for closure; determined and implemented preventive actions through CAPA process.
