Position Summary
The primary function of this position is to apply failure analysis methods and techniques to provide timely and accurate support for failure analysis submissions utilizing OFI (Optical Fault Isolation) tools, primarily Photon and Thermal emission type. Tasks include setting up a testing plan for each assigned job, which includes reviewing background information, hardware readiness, timeline estimation, testing plan, and reporting findings to internal and external customers. This job primarily revolves around utilizing fault isolation tools, ATE tools, and reporting your findings to outside groups. Successful candidate would should have strong multi-tasking skills and be ready to contribute in a fast-paced semiconductor environment. Flexibility in work schedule is required. 3 - 6 months on job training (OJT) will be provided to successful candidate.
Role and Responsibilities
Here's What You'll Be Responsible For:

• Conduct physical failure analysis from low yield lots, baseline material, qualifications, and customer requests.
• Identify the cause of failure by performing the sample selection, identifying the optimal analysis techniques to apply to ensure fast and accurate results for both internal and external customers.
• Support manufacturing and engineering teams with physical failure analysis results for new process and product introduction, and product transfer activities with Integration and Process Engineering teams.
• Represent the Analysis Engineering department in foundry customer meetings providing on time analysis results.
• Analyze electrical as well as imaging results to find the root cause of issues and publishing them to team members and customers.
• Recommend analysis approach based on customer's failure mode data as well as our own electrical isolation results and abilities.
• Generate and compile quality FA reports to internal and external customers to assist in issue resolution.

Skills and Qualifications
Here's what you'll need:

• B.S. to PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Material Science, Physics or closely related discipline.
• Good understanding of semiconductor FinFET fabrication process and semiconductor device physics (e.g Transistor, PN Junctions).
