Key Responsibilities:
Failure Analysis:
- Conduct detailed failure analysis investigations, including physical failure analysis (PFA) and electrical failure analysis (EFA)
- Utilize advanced analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), focused ion beam (FIB), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to identify failure mechanisms
- Develop and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence of failures
Root Cause Analysis:
- Employ statistical analysis and problem-solving techniques to identify root causes of failures
- Collaborate with design and process engineering teams to implement design and process changes to address root causes
Technical Expertise:
- Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in failure analysis techniques and tools
- Mentor and train junior engineers in failure analysis methodologies
Data Analysis and Reporting:
- Analyze failure data to identify trends and patterns
- Generate comprehensive failure analysis reports and presentations
- Communicate complex technical information to a wide range of audiences, including engineering, management, and customers
Basic Qualifications:
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field
- 5 years of industry experience in semiconductor failure analysis
- Understanding of semiconductor device physics, failure mechanisms, and materials science
- Proficiency in advanced analytical techniques, such as X-ray, CSAM, TDR, FIB, SEM, and TEM
- Experience with statistical analysis and data mining techniques
- Experience with failure analysis software and tools
Preferred Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field
- Experience with advanced failure analysis techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT)
- Experience with fault isolation technique, ATE, and Scan/ATPG debug
- Experience in Silicon Photonics and failure analysis of photonic integrated circuit
If you are a highly motivated and talented individual with a passion for failure analysis, we encourage you to apply.
