Fault Analysis information

What is the difference between Fault Analysis vs Electrical Engineer?

AspectFault AnalysisElectrical Engineer
Required CredentialsTypically requires a degree in electrical engineering or related field, with specialized training in fault detectionRequires a degree in electrical engineering, often with licensure or certification
Work EnvironmentPrimarily in power plants, substations, or industrial facilities focusing on system reliabilityDesign, develop, and test electrical systems across various industries
Industry UsageUsed in power generation, transmission, and distribution sectorsUsed across multiple sectors including manufacturing, construction, and energy
Common Search/ComparisonFault Analysis vs Electrical Engineer

Fault Analysis specialists focus on identifying and diagnosing electrical faults within power systems, ensuring system reliability and safety. Electrical Engineers design and develop electrical systems, often overseeing their implementation. While Fault Analysis is a specialized role within the electrical industry, Electrical Engineers have broader responsibilities in system design and development.

Job description

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It's a unique legacy of innovation that's fueled by great technology-and amazing people. Today, we're tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what's never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world's best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you'll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world.
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Failure Analysis (FA) Engineer to drive die-level logic fault localization for our advanced semiconductor devices. You will work closely with our Design, Test, and DFT teams to identify root causes of silicon failures, accelerate yield improvements, and ensure the highest quality of our cutting-edge products.
What you'll be doing:
  • Die-Level Logic Fault Localization: Perform complex, hands-on failure analysis and root cause identification using physical and electrical fault isolation methodologies.
  • ATE Testing & Debugging: Utilize the Advantest 93K platform to test & characterize DUT and setup required test-looping to enable LVP, SDL and other FA techniques.
  • DFT Collaboration: Leverage knowledge of Design for Test (DFT) basics-including Scan, BIST, and boundary scan-to interpret test patterns and guide fault isolation strategies.
  • Root Cause Analysis: Analyze test results to distinguish between design, fab process, or tester-induced failures, delivering actionable corrective actions.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Product Engineering, Test Engineering, and Foundry Engineering teams to resolve yield, performance, and reliability issues.

What we need to see:
  • MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a closely related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of direct, hands-on experience in semiconductor failure analysis, yield engineering, or product engineering.
  • Strong practical experience with the Advantest 93k test platform.
  • Good understanding of DFT basics and logic fault localization.
  • Expert level experience on LFI techniques (LVP, EMMI, SDL, OBIRCH, or other photon/laser-based techniques).
  • Bonus if you also have experience with Teradyne Ultraflex plus
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong technical communication skills, and a proven track record of driving complex issues to resolution.

This role presents an opportunity to have a wide impact at NVIDIA by improving the factory planning function. Are you creative, hard-working, dedicated, and determined? Do you love a challenge? If so, we want to hear from you!
Widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers, NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package. As you plan your future, see what we can offer to you and your family www.nvidiabenefits.com/
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 144,000 USD - 230,000 USD for Level 4, and 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 5.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until July 13, 2026.
This posting is for an existing vacancy.
NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.
