Failure Analysis Engineer
Core
Analyze and determine the root cause of electrical failures in semiconductor devices to recommend corrective actions for new technology development and product ramp.
Role type
Senior IC failure analysis engineer (analog ICs)
Builds
Production semiconductor devices and integrated circuits
Domain
Semiconductor manufacturing and analog circuit design
Deliverable
Production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work
Required skills
Root cause analysis of electrical failures, OBIRCH and EMMI tool usage, electrical characterization of MOS and bipolar devices, internal net probing on integrated circuits, analog and digital circuit operation analysis, process technology understanding
Preferred skills
Hands-on experience with lab equipment (curve tracers, return loss analyzers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers), bench testing of op-amps/ADCs/mixed-signal/digital circuits, PCB validation and characterization, IC and device failure analysis, automation programming (VBA, Python, GPIB), MOS and Bipolar component characterization
Technologies
OBIRCH, EMMI, curve tracers, return loss analyzers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VBA, Python, GPIB
Responsibilities
Set up test setups to electrically verify failures, use global isolation tools such as OBIRCH and EMMI, understand the failure analysis flow to get to root cause efficiently, perform electrical characterization of semiconductor devices, probe internal nets on an integrated circuit, apply various pieces of equipment used in testing and characterizing semiconductors, communicate results via a final report and defend recommendations to designers and management
Seniority
Senior, hands-on IC
