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:

1. SAH (Send Ahead) yield monitoring and alert process engineering on SAH yield issues.
2. Physical failure disk analysis, morphology identification, microscope FA, topography analysis, AFM FA, optical analysis, Candela FA, orientation analysis, Candela & microscope.
3. Production line conversion buy-off, teach points, ID_OD crack, MDW OD ding, tagging inspection.
4. Support engineering activities, support engineers on improvement evaluation, FA comparison of baseline vs. evaluations, support new product introduction, FA comparison of old vs. new products, support engineering variation studies, cell-to-cell and plant-to-plant differences.
5. Data analysis; first-level data analysis on line instability to identify common root causes.
6. Data entry; updating FA results into the database for use by all engineers.
7. Others; logistic coordination on all FA samples, various MSL samples, and upkeeping lab conditions for both equipment and physical samples.

About you:

1. Possess a diploma in Electronic Electrical Engineering.
2. Self-motivated and results-oriented mentality.
3. Works well in a dynamic team environment.
4. Good communication skills.
5. Willing to work in a clean room environment.
6. Willing to work on a 12-hour rotating day/night shift pattern.

Your experience includes:
