Failure Analysis Manager (Semiconductor)

Pasona Singapore Pte. Ltd.; Pioneer (OH); Vor Ort; USD 140.000 - 200.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Pasona Singapore Pte. Ltd. in Ohio seeks a senior FA engineer to lead a specialized team, oversee lab operations, and ensure safety. You will mentor engineers and coordinate with manufacturing and quality groups to drive media-related yield improvements.

You will conduct deep-dive investigations into defects, use SEM/EDX, FIB, AFM, XPS, and profilometry to characterize issues at atomic and magnetic levels, translating findings into executive summaries and influencing product roadmaps.

Qualifikationen

• Master’s degree in Materials Science, Physics or Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• 8+ years in HDD industry with at least 3 years in leadership/management.
• Expertise in 8D, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and root-cause investigations.

Aufgaben

• Manage and mentor a specialized team of FA engineers; oversee lab operations, including equipment maintenance and safety protocols.
• Lead deep-dive investigations into media defects such as protrusions, pits, scratches, lubricant migration, and corrosion including their impact on drive-level reliability.
• Oversee the use of high-end analytical tools to characterize defects at the atomic and magnetic levels.
• Partner with Media Process Development teams to correlate FA findings with process variables. Also act as technical bridge between Media teams and HDD Integration/Customer Quality teams.
• Translate complex microscopic and chemical data into actionable executive summaries to drive both media and HDD yield improvement and product roadmaps.
