- Apply fault localization techniques such as PEM and OBIRCH, integrating CAD layout, schematics, and historical failure mode data.
- Utilize advanced techniques such as DALS/SDL, LVI/EOFM, LVP/EOP, microprobing, nanoprobing, EBIC, EBAC, scan testing, and ATPG diagnosis to pinpoint failure sites.
- Oversee material and physical analysis efforts using SEM, FIB, TEM, EDS, FTIR, and other tools to visualize and understand failure mechanisms.
- Document findings clearly and comprehensively, linking failure mechanisms to failure modes within the 8D problem-solving framework.
- Develop new processes and techniques to enhance analytical capabilities in a collaborative team environment.
- Mentor junior engineers in fault localization, electrical testing, and general failure analysis methodologies.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in a failure analysis or materials analysis lab, or 3 years of experience in a semiconductor or solid-state electronics applications or evaluation engineering role.
