About This Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Failure Analysis Engineer to join our semiconductor engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for identifying, analyzing, and resolving failures in semiconductor devices, providing root cause analysis (RCA), and driving corrective actions to improve product reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Lead electrical, physical, and material failure analysis on semiconductor components (e.g., ICs, wafers, packages).
Perform root cause analysis using various analytical techniques (e.g., SEM, FIB, TEM, EDX, X-ray, OBIRCH, TLP, curve tracing, decapsulation).
Provides Electrical and Physical failure isolation analysis support to localize failure defect and determine root cause of failure in silicon devices
Drive continuous improvement in quality, productivity, cost and safety of work processes and environment to achieve assigned section/department and/or company KPI.
Collaborate with design, product, reliability, and process engineering teams to evaluate failures and recommend corrective actions.
Prepare detailed failure analysis reports and present findings to internal stakeholders and customers.
Support new product introduction (NPI) by identifying potential failure modes during qualification.
Manage lab equipment operation and maintenance, and ensure proper calibration and usage.
Drive continuous improvement of failure analysis processes and methodologies.
Formulate concise failure analysis reports and responsible in failure analysis results presentation to stakeholders
Required Qualifications
Requires a Bachelor Degree or Master in Engineering (Electrical &/or Electronics, Microelectronics, Physics, Material Sciences, Chemical)
