About the role
This role involves hands-on technical problem-solving focusing on package and die level failure analysis of Logic, Mixed Signal, Power ICs, Discrete, Interface, RF Power, and Optoelectronic devices. Failure analysis will be performed on failures from wafer fabrication, package assembly, reliability stress tests, qualification fails, customer returns, and new product and process introduction fails.
What you'll do
- Conduct failure analysis on failures from wafer fabrication, package assembly, reliability stress tests, qualification fails, and customer returns.
- Perform electrical bench verification and characterization of failures.
- Utilize non-destructive analysis techniques such as X-ray, acoustic analysis, and package inspection.
- Apply circuit schematics, layouts, and fault isolation techniques to determine failing locations.
- Generate high-quality Product Analysis Reports for internal staff and customers.
- Identify and implement advanced methods of circuit failure analysis.
