Senior Detector Scientist, Reliability Redlen’s Product Performance Department is dedicated to ensuring our detector modules meet the highest standards ofthe performance, reliability and application suitability. The Reliability Team focuses on characterizing and reporting on failure modes, failure rates and lifetimes of the PCCT detectors across the entire product lifecycle – from semiconductor material development to device integration. Acting as a cross-functional bridge within the organization, the team conducts Sensor-, Mini Module-, Detector Module
- oriented HALT, ALT and other characterization and reliability-specific testing, along with in-gantry data analysis, driving initiatives that align with Redlen’s reliability advancement objectives. Their work spans emerging technologies, including semiconductor material growth, device fabrication, device physics, detector module engineering, advanced photon-counting ASICs, and attachment/interconnect technologies.
