Product Physical Failure Analysis Engineer
About The Position
We are seeking an experienced semiconductor Physical Failure Analysis Engineer responsible for root cause identification on yield, reliability and customer returns. Drives failure identification in processes and products and searches for improvements to enhance yield, performance, quality, and reliability of next generation product and package technologies. Collaborates with design and process development engineers to determine relationship of materials properties and electrical performance and thoroughly explains fundamental aspects of material and device interactions as needed to assist in the transfer new product to manufacturing. Adds to the development of electrical, analytical, and mechanical methodologies by developing failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and maintaining control plans throughout the product lifecycle. Applies strategic failure analysis capabilities for future technologies and products, drives automation and improvement of failure analysis process, and conducts innovative use of new analytical tools, equipment, and methodologies. Develops, records, and performs failure analysis on systems and components to identify root cause, analyze failure reports, and recommend corrective action to prevent reoccurrence of problems.
Requirements
- BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
- 8+ years of experience in semiconductor failure analysis
- 8+ years of experience with Layout & Design tools (Virtuoso, Avalon, SysNav, etc.)
- 8+ years of experience independently implementing failure analysis using die milling/thinning, Focused Ion Beam milling for layer-by-layer deprocessing of silicon die, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy
- 8+ years of experience driving investigations to root cause and driving yield/reliability improvements
- Applicants must be eligible for any required U.S. export authorizations.
