ASIC Failure Analysis Engineer

What you'll do

• Conduct root cause failure analysis of silicon product reliability test and field failures.
• Propose corrective actions based on identified failure causes.
• Develop and implement standard processes for failure analysis using all types of FA equipment.
• Coordinate logistics and instructions to direct the failure analysis process in a systematic way.
• Document and report failure analysis results to management.
• Function as a technical resource for failure analysis questions.
• Develop and maintain relationships with FA service and equipment vendors.
• Interface with engineering groups to identify and characterize faults on emerging technologies.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field required.
• Master's degree preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in the semiconductor failure analysis field.
• Experience writing and executing FA plans and interpreting results from techniques such as cross section, X-ray, CSAM, TDR, FIB, SEM, TEM, and IR/EMMI/OBIRCH.
• Validated ability to specify hardware and implement setup for dynamic FA using SIL and LSM.
• Prior experience of fault isolation techniques using ATE, Scan/ATPG, and MBIST to identify and characterize device-level faults.
• Semiconductor technology and process knowledge (Fab, Assembly, and Advanced Packaging) (preferred).
• Proficient in ATE docked dynamic fault isolation using LVP, LVI/SMI, LADA, and TIVA techniques (preferred).
