Job description

About our group:

We are the Media Process Failure Analysis (FA) team within Media Process Engineering. Our core responsibility is identifying disk failures using advanced tools such as microscopes, Candela, and AFM. We support production line conversions and provide detailed failure reports to process teams. By working closely with process groups, we help improve product quality and operational efficiency. Through data analysis, we identify root causes and recommend solutions to enhance process stability and performance

About the role - you will:

• SAH (send Ahead) yield monitoring and alert process engineering on SAH yield issue
• Physical failure disk analysis, Morphology identification, Microscope FA, Topography analysis, AFM FA, Optical analysis, candela FA, Oriantation analysis, Candela & microscope
• Production line conversion Buy off, Teach Points, ID_OD Crack, MDW OD Ding, Tagging Inspection
• Support enginering activities, Support Engineers on Improvement Evaluation, FA comparison of baseline vs evals, Support new product introduction, FA comparison of old vs new products, Support engineering variation study, cell to cell and plant to plant differences
• Data analysis; First level data analysis on line instability, to find common rootcause
• Data Entry; Updating FA result into database, to be used by all engineers
• Others; Logistic coordination on all FA samples, various MSL samples and Upkeeping Lab conditions. For both Equipment and physical sample.

About you:

• Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronic Engineering, or related Engineering Diploma
• Self-motivated and positive working attitude.
