Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:
• Lead complex failure analysis investigations involving semiconductor devices, integrated circuits, packages, and manufacturing processes.
• Develop and execute comprehensive failure analysis strategies using electrical, physical, material, and structural characterization techniques.
• Perform root cause analysis of yield, reliability, performance, and customer-return failures.
• Utilize fault isolation and failure localization methodologies to identify defect mechanisms and process interactions.
• Drive corrective and preventive actions through collaboration with manufacturing, process engineering, design, product engineering, quality, and reliability organizations.
• Define and implement advanced methodologies, tools, and workflows that improve failure analysis effectiveness and throughput.
• Provide technical leadership during technology transfers, manufacturing ramps, process qualifications, and new product introductions.
• Analyze large datasets and laboratory findings to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Document findings and present technical recommendations to senior engineering and business stakeholders.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the development of organizational failure analysis expertise.
• Leverage data analytics and AI-enabled tools to improve investigation efficiency, knowledge sharing, and decision-making.
