Engineer CE PYE (Physical Failure Analysis/Fault Isolation)

We are currently looking for motivated individuals to join Micron Technology Inc. Central Engineering (CE) - Product Yield Enhancement (PYE) Engineering Team. As CE PYE Failure Analysis (FA) Engineer for Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for providing full fault isolation and failure analysis support for qualifications, customer returns, new device introduction, and test failures. You will become the domain expert on fault isolation and physical failure analysis methods. As the CE PYE FA Engineer, you will be responsible for understanding all relevant methodologies to isolate electrical failures by working closely with Product Engineering Teams. You will also have a thorough understanding of the product architecture, process flow, and test sequence to work with Process Integration, Product, Test, and Quality Reliability Assurance Engineering groups ensuring physical defects are root-caused and classified.

Responsibilities:

. Perform sophisticated electrical device characterization to determine electrical fail mechanisms.

. Operate fault isolation equipment to accurately narrow down failure defect locations.

. Conduct physical failure analysis to identify and classify physical defects.

. Establish and hypothesize potential electrical or process fail mechanisms based on detailed electrical fail models and physical failure analysis characterization, supporting process improvement.

. Collaborate closely with a diverse range of collaborators, including teams from frontend to backend and the Global Quality (GQ) department, to address and resolve defectivity issues.

. Prepare and present comprehensive electrical and physical failure mechanisms on a weekly basis to drive continuous improvement.

. Develop and implement new fault isolation and physical failure analysis techniques to stay ahead of industry standards.

. Lead and guide a team of CE PYE technicians, encouraging a collaborative and ambitious work environment.

. Coordinate the maintenance and high uptime of fault isolation and physical failure analysis tools to ensure world-class operational efficiency.

Requirements:

. Bachelor's or equivalent experience, Master's or equivalent experience, or PhD degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Material Science.

. Minimum 2 years of relevant experience required

. Proven experience as a great teammate with outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills and a strong drive to excel.

. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex information effectively in large meetings.

. Highly motivated individuals with a passion for innovation and excellence.

. Knowledge of fault isolation equipment, techniques, and physical failure analysis is a significant advantage.

. Strong understanding of NAND/DRAM/HBM devices and knowledge of Fab processes is a desirable asset.

. Ability to support shift rotation as required to meet operational needs.

. Exposure to AI/machine learning or data analytics applied in engineering or manufacturing environments is beneficial, particularly for fault isolation or failure analysis.

Manages production support engineering for a specific product or group of products after transfer from design to high volume production. Interfaces with design, process, test and reliability engineering to solve problems. Sustains products with cost reduction and yield improvements.
