Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
As a Product Yield Enhancement (PYE) Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) Engineer, you will work with a team dedicated to improving yields of next-generation memory products across all stages of the manufacturing lifecycle. Through failure analysis of test, internal qualification, and RMA failures, you will identify and help eliminate yield-limiting defects - driving enhanced product reliability, rapid production ramp, and early time to market. Your day-to-day work will center on fault isolation using a combination of electrical and physical characterization techniques paired with data analysis to pinpoint physical defects introduced during process fabrication or package assembly. You will also be responsible for presenting and coordinating failure analysis findings with Management, Product, Process, Assembly, and Global Quality teams to ensure corrective actions are implemented and yields continue to improve.
Responsibilities
  • Perform Electrical Failure Analysis and Fault Isolation using emission microscopy, laser techniques, EOTPR, and PFA/de-processing methods
  • Characterize and model backend test, internal qualification, and RMA fail signatures using layout, schematic, and data analysis tools
  • Apply in-depth knowledge of CMOS fabrication processes and package assembly flows to identify process- and assembly-related defects, root causes, and downstream effects
  • Evaluate reliability concerns and delayed breakdown failure mechanisms across test insertions
  • Perform fab, probe, and backend data extractions to provide supplemental data supporting failure analysis conclusions
  • Generate organized and timely failure analysis reports with clearly communicated causes, effects, and recommended actions
  • Present and coordinate findings cross-functionally with Management, Product, Process, Assembly, and Global Quality teams

Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline
  • 2+ years of experience in semiconductor failure analysis, yield enhancement, or a closely related field
  • Hands-on experience with fault isolation techniques including emission microscopy, laser-based methods (OBIRCH/TIVA), and EOTPR
  • Working knowledge of CMOS fabrication processes and package assembly flows
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting semiconductor layout and schematic designs
  • Experience with Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) tools and de-processing techniques (e.g., FIB, cross-section, delayering)
  • Ability to perform data extractions and analysis from fab, probe, and backend test systems
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to generate clear, organized failure analysis reports

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field
  • 4+ years of experience in electrical failure analysis within a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment
  • Experience with memory products (DRAM, NAND, or HBM)
  • Advanced proficiency with EFA tools and techniques such as photon emission, laser voltage probing (LVP), and thermal laser stimulation
  • Familiarity with reliability failure modes (e.g., electromigration, TDDB, HCI) and delayed breakdown mechanisms
  • Experience modeling or characterizing complex fail signatures across test insertions
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Process, Product, Assembly, and Quality Engineering teams
  • Experience with data analysis tools or scripting languages (e.g., Python, JMP, MATLAB) for supplemental data extraction and analysis
  • Strong presentation skills with experience communicating technical findings to senior leadership
