Job description

As a Global Quality (GQ) High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) Engineer on the DRAM/Emerging Memory Quality and Reliability Assurance team (DEMQRA) at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for the electrical characterization and electrical failure analysis (EFA) of all HBM products. You will distinguish whether failures are package or device related and use a variety of test tools including the uMate tester, Merlin, Mongoose SM3, Prober, CAD layout tool, and technical drawings and schematics to perform detailed characterization.

Responsibilities

• Analyze failed components from reliability testing and interpret historical test results.
• Adjust timing/level/test mode/code/temp to identify failure sensitivities for array failures.
• Perform visual inspection to identify physical defects.
• Utilize schematics, layouts, and process information to recognize abnormalities.
• Document failed conditions and test results, categorize electrical failures, and maintain a critical EFA knowledge database.
• Communicate results and coordinate next-level analysis with Product Yield Enhancement (PYE), functional open (FO), and Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) groups.
• Identify and communicate new or unusual results (electrical signals).
• Respond to equipment issues, troubleshoot hardware, and report software and hardware problems.
• Repair or coordinate repair of equipment and configure and upgrade test equipment.
• Develop and deploy failure analysis software, provide technical support, and conduct training for lab users.
• Assist in performing engineering requests and supplemental tasks, including package-level physical failure analysis (PFA), failure analysis for RMA and module requests, and supporting other groups.
• Determine engineering test requirements and execute experiments, summarizing results and providing feedback.
• Create repair converters, manage failure analysis information, maintain specific FA database, and track FA data.
• Perform reviews for test time reduction requests, design/marketing datasheet requests, modify & material review board (MRB) requests, and process of record review board (PORRB) requests.

Education & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in the semiconductor field.
• Knowledge of DRAM operation, fabrication process, semiconductor device physics, and related test programs.
• Familiarity with failure analysis, troubleshooting, advanced packaging, wafer testing, component testing, and module testing concepts and flow.
• Strong troubleshooting skills, excellent organizational ability, and sharp attention to detail.
• Good written and oral communication skills and efficient computer skills.
• Knowledge of Unix, DFII/Cadence, and/or uMate preferred.
• Ability to work independently or in a group environment and basic understanding of electrical equipment.
• Ability to use analytical tools such as uMate, Curve Tracer, or Oscilloscope.
• Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering or related field is desired.
