Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

As a member of the NAND Technology Integration (NTI) team, you will be the go‑to expert for diagnosing yield‑limiting failures in next‑generation NAND products. You will combine deep semiconductor expertise with bench testing, probe data analysis, and physical failure analysis to pinpoint failure mechanisms, accelerate yield learning, and deliver actionable insights that shape the technology development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead electrical failure analysis – characterization, fault isolation, failure verification, and physical de‑processing of semiconductor devices.
• Drive root cause analysis of yield‑limiting failures by correlating electrical, inline, parametric, probe, and fab data.
• Pioneer new FA methodologies and de‑processing techniques to improve detection accuracy and turnaround time.
• Apply data analytics to large‑scale semiconductor datasets to surface failure signatures, trends, and anomalies.
• Deliver clear FA reports and visualizations that communicate findings to technical and executive audiences.
• Partner with Process Integration, Yield Enhancement, Metrology, RDA, and Data Science teams to drive yield improvement.
• Support technology transfer of layout and architecture fundamentals from R&D to manufacturing.
• Present results in global forums with Product Development, Process Integration, and Manufacturing teams.
• Communicate with strong explainability – backed by feature importance, sensitivity analysis, and failure trend narratives.
• Adhere to all health, safety, and environmental standards.

Qualifications and Experience

• M.S., or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• Proven semiconductor industry experience in Failure Analysis, Process Integration, Yield Enhancement, or Unit Process.
• In‑depth knowledge of nonvolatile memory technologies (NAND/NOR).
• Strong grasp of semiconductor process flow and process‑device interactions.
• Hands‑on or theoretical expertise with SEM, FIB, TEM, and elemental analysis (EDS, EELS).
• Excellent analytical, communication, and presentation skills – able to translate complex findings into clear narratives.
• Self‑motivated, with a track record of thriving in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
