Roles and Responsibilities:- Support root cause failure investigations arising from reliability testing, manufacturing, and field returns.
- Develop and execute detailed failure analysis plans.
- Coordinate / conduct hands-on physical and electrical failure analysis (FA) using a variety of tools in-house and at outside labs (e.g., SEM, EDS, CSAM, X-ray, bench characterization).
- Perform material and defect characterization to identify failure modes in semiconductors, packages, and assemblies.
- Prepare clear and technically sound failure analysis reports for internal and external stakeholders.
- Execute product qualification and reliability stress testing on semiconductor products (e.g., HTOL, TC, HAST).
- Collaborate with design, manufacturing, test, and quality engineering teams to ensure robust failure resolution.
- Support corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) based on FA findings. Generate 8D corrective action reports.
- Assist with customer communications to resolve quality issues and provide technical insights.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in product reliability, analysis methodologies, and lab capability development.
Basic Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related STEM discipline.
- 5 years of industry experience in semiconductor reliability or failure analysis.
- Hands-on experience with FA techniques such as:
- Material analysis: SEM, EDS, optical profiler.
- Electrical testing: Oscilloscopes, curve tracers, thermal imaging.
- Fault isolation: Photon emission, OBIRCH, X-ray, CSAM.
- Understanding of semiconductor device physics, packaging technologies, and common failure mechanisms (physics of failure).
- Experience analyzing failures caused by thermal, electrical, and mechanical stress.
- Familiar with JEDEC reliability standards and procedures.
- Project management experience with external reliability and FA labs.
- Strong statistical data analysis capability. Experience with data analysis packages (JMP, Python, etc.).
- Strong technical writing skills and ability to create detailed FA documentation, reliability reports, and qualification reports.
- Good verbal communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
- Demonstrated organizational skills, with the ability to handle and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously in a timely manner in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications:- Master's or Ph. D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Materials Science.
- Experience with power and/or analog/mixed-signal ICs, or power IC failure modes.
- Experience with SiP architecture Reliability/FA and packaging failure mechanisms (e.g., electromigration, delamination).
- Experience supporting customer quality investigations and field return analysis.
- Prior reliability test and FA engagements with OSAT suppliers a plus.
- Exposure to reliability modeling and risk assessment methods such as FMEA, DOE, and Weibull analysis.
- HTOL and HAST board layout and schematic interpretation.
