Physical Failure Analysis Engineer / Senior Engineer (PFA)

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) Engineer (or Senior Engineer) to join our team. This role is central to our laboratory operations, focusing on advanced micro-structural analysis and sample preparation to support the semiconductor and electronics industries.

Key Responsibilities

. Advanced Analysis: Perform high-precision physical failure analysis using FIB (Focused Ion Beam), SEM, and EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction) techniques.

. Crystallographic Characterization: Utilize EBSD to analyze grain orientation, texture, and phase identification to support root-cause failure investigations.

. Sample Preparation: Prepare high-quality TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) lamella using specialized FIB-related lift-out techniques.

. Reporting: Compile comprehensive analytical reports detailing FIB-SEM, SEM-EDS and EBSD findings for client delivery.

. Standardization: Document and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), training modules, and certification specifications for failure analysis workflows.

. Innovation: Participate in the research and development of new failure analysis techniques and evaluate emerging technologies to maintain lab excellence.

. Shift Operations: Work within a rotational shift system (Quarterly Day/Night shift rotation).

Requirements

. Education: Diploma, Bachelor's Degree, or Master's Degree in Engineering (Electrical/Electronic, Materials Science, or a related discipline).

. Technical Skills: Hands-on experience with FIB, SEM, and EDX is highly desirable. Prior experience or theoretical knowledge of EBSD analysis and data interpretation is a significant advantage.

. Industry Knowledge: A solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and manufacturing processes.

. Soft Skills: A keen learner with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced laboratory environment.

. Flexibility: Must be able to perform night shift work with flexible working periods.

. Experience Level: Open to Fresh Graduates for the Engineer level experienced candidates will be considered for the Senior Engineer role.

Benefits

. Competitive monthly salary ($4,000 - $6,000).

. Highly attractive shift allowance provided for night shift rotations.
