The Senior Failure Analysis Engineer joins the Physical Failure Analysis team to investigate complex product failures and drive critical engineering solutions. This role involves performing physical failure analysis on advanced integrated circuits, deep learning processors, and system architectures to uncover root causes affecting yield, performance, and reliability. Key responsibilities include developing novel methodologies for root-cause investigations, performing mechanical cross-sectioning, parallel de-layering, and chemical or plasma de-processing across die, package, component, and board levels. The engineer will utilize Focused Ion Beam sample preparation, Optical microscopy, and Electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) to provide high-resolution diagnostics. The position requires deep domain expertise in semiconductor IC fabrication, advanced packaging, and materials science to support design optimization and process node improvements for emerging chip structures.
