About The Position

Samsung Austin Semiconductor is seeking an Engineer, Analysis Engineering to conduct physical failure analysis (pFA) across requests involving low-yield lots, baseline material, qualifications, and customer-returned samples. The engineer will select appropriate samples and analysis techniques to identify failure causes and provide timely, accurate results to internal and external customers.

The role supports manufacturing and engineering teams with pFA results for new process introductions and product transfers, and represents the Analysis Engineering department in foundry customer meetings. The engineer analyzes electrical and imaging results to determine root causes, recommends analysis approaches based on customer failure-mode data and electrical isolation results, and prepares high-quality failure-analysis reports. The position also develops methods to improve team analysis capabilities and reduce turnaround time. Multiple openings are available.

This is a full-time, on-site position. The stated base salary range is $110,598 to $130,598. Total compensation includes a competitive benefits package and may include company incentive compensation.
