INTERN JOB DESCRIPTION:

Title: Intern – Reliability Engineering

Hourly Rate: $20.42 - $30.62

Schedule: Monday- Friday 9 am to 5 pm

Location: Beverly, MA

Axcelis is a global leader in ion implantation and semiconductor technology. Our interns don’t just observe, they contribute. For more than four decades, we’ve been driving innovation in semiconductor manufacturing technology, working with the world’s leading chipmakers to power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. As an intern, you’ll gain hands‑on experience, learn from industry experts, and make a real impact on projects that shape the future of technology.

About the Role As an intern, you'll spend time working with the Reliability Engineering team supporting both reliability analysis and development during product development efforts, evaluating how and why components or systems fail. You'll be helping set up and run reliability and accelerated life tests, collecting and analyzing performance and failure data, and assisting in root‑cause investigations to improve robustness of many components that make up an ion implanter. You'll help contribute to reliability reports, create and edit test plans and other documentation, and help identify process improvements, while gaining exposure to tools and methods like statistical analysis software, test equipment, and failure analysis techniques. You'll focus on collaboration through engagement with cross‑functional teams — such as design, quality, manufacturing, and field service — to ensure products meet reliability goals and support continuous improvement efforts.

What You’ll Do:

• Performing reliability modeling, reliability and quality statistical data analysis and calculations to evaluate new products and assess install base performance
• Performing testing in our Reliability Lab, including setting up fixtures and instrumentation, logging and reporting results including monitoring and maintaining equipment
• Aiding failure analysis and determination of root causes for Axcelis products, disassembling electromechanical assemblies for inspection and analysis, and documenting findings and corrective actions in Failure Analysis reports
• Creating test procedures, reports, and presentations that include data summaries and conclusions
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to increase the useful life and robustness of components and assemblies in a complex system like ion implanter and recommending ways to improve field supportability

What We’re Looking For

• Currently in Master’s degree or Ph

D programs in Reliability Engineering:

• Candidates pursuing Master’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, but having Reliability engineering experience prior to their attendance in the graduate program are also encouraged to apply
• Suggested skills or experience:Experience with Reliasoft or HBK software modules and Minitab
• Python/MATLAB/JMP
• Hands‑on lab skills
• Working knowledge of the statistical data analysis
• Understanding of mechanical/electrical fundamentals
• Curiosity and willingness to troubleshoot
