Job description

About the job:

As an Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) Engineer, you will perform various electrical investigative work on defect, performance and design-related issues during the technology development phase pertaining to a broad range of products in order to deliver qual-capable and high-yielding devices. This position also requires the ability to develop testing algorithms to successfully segment various electrical failures. You will also be adhering to all lab safety guidelines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Failure Data Analysis and Diagnosis: Collect and analyze debug data from both internal FA test capability and collaboration with Test Engineering using memory mapping and ATPG diagnostic tools to identify failure signatures and guide root-cause investigation.
• Electrical Failure Analysis: Perform electrical failure characterization using production and custom test patterns in a bench test environment to isolate failing circuitry and determine defect mechanisms across wafer yield investigations, qualification issues, quality excursions, and customer returns.
• Cross-Functional Debug and Physical Correlation: Work with Test Engineering, design teams, and Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) laboratories to correlate electrical failure signatures with physical defects and enable defect isolation.
