Failure Analysis Intern
About The Position
Assist FA engineers in performing failure analysis on customer’s RMA returns and internal engineering requests. Learn and perform hands-on in electrical fault isolation and defect characterization at both IC (or silicon level) and power supply. Inspect and document incoming RMA returns both at IC’s and Power Supply levels. Support electrical debugging activities, including performing impedance measurements, ATE test, and curve tracing of IC’s. Work with senior engineers to analyze test data and perform physical analysis (e.g., optical microscopy and CSAM/SEM imaging). Support FA engineers in data collection, documentation and contribution to technical reports.
Requirements
- Fundamental knowledge of analog and digital circuits.
- Basic understanding of semiconductor device physics and IC fabrication processes.
- Exposure to lab tools such as curve tracer, Oscilloscopes, Source meters, and DMM.
- Basic technical report writing and documentation skills.
- 3rd year Bachelors or Masters Degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Power Electronics Engineering.
Nice To Haves
- Completed academic projects that required using S/W tools such as Cadence/Synopsis, MATLAB, Spice etc.. to design, simulate, assemble, and test the design at final products.
- Hands-on lab or academic project experiences in device/PCB level characterization.
- Familiarity with IC/PCB-level schematics and layout.
- Understanding of analog, mixed-signal, or power IC operation.
- Exposure to some failure analysis techniques such as optical micro-scopes, XRAY, and SEM.
Responsibilities
- Perform failure analysis on customer’s RMA returns and internal engineering requests.

- Document failure analysis findings with observations and preliminary conclusions.
- Provide data summaries and failure trend insights.
- Contribute to root cause analysis under engineer supervision.
- Summarize internship work or failure case studies in presentations.
Benefits
- Hourly pay range: $32 to $34
