• Define qualification requirements and pass/fail criteria for device/package‑level reliability (e.g., HTSL, TCT, UHAST, pre‑conditioning, JESD22 methods) and Package‑on‑board / board‑level reliability (thermal cycling, shock/vibration, connector/cage interactions)

• Leads materials and stackup selection (substrate, solder alloy, underfill, mold, lid, TIM, etc.) and DFR trade‑offs for new packages and 2nd sources

• Evaluates thermo‑mechanical and SI/PI impact of those choices

• Analyzes qual and stress data (including HTOL, package qual, SLT/system stress) and convert to design / process/ material changes for next revision.
