As a Senior Failure Analysis Engineer, Optical Fault Isolation, you will join the team to drive die-level logic fault localization for advanced semiconductor devices. You will perform complex, hands-on failure analysis and root cause identification using physical and electrical fault isolation methodologies to improve yield and ensure product quality. Your daily work involves utilizing the Advantest 93K platform for testing and characterizing devices, while collaborating with Design, Test, and DFT teams to interpret test patterns through Scan, BIST, and boundary scan techniques. You will distinguish between design, fab process, or tester-induced failures to provide corrective actions. Required expertise includes LFI techniques such as LVP, EMMI, SDL, OBIRCH, and other photon or laser-based methods. The role focuses on solving critical yield, performance, and reliability issues within the semiconductor manufacturing and product engineering domain.
