About The Position

Samsung Austin Semiconductor is hiring an Engineer, Analysis Engineering to conduct physical failure analysis (pFA) on a range of requests, including low-yield lots, baseline material, qualifications, and customer-returned samples. The engineer identifies failure causes by selecting appropriate samples and analysis techniques to deliver timely, accurate results to internal and external customers.

The role supports manufacturing and engineering teams with pFA results for new process introduction and product transfer activities, and represents the Analysis Engineering department in foundry customer meetings. The engineer analyzes electrical and imaging results, determines root causes, recommends analysis approaches, and prepares high-quality failure-analysis reports. The position also develops methods to improve analytical capabilities and reduce turnaround time. This is a full-time, on-site position. Multiple openings are available.
