Failure Analysis OFI Engineer

Responsibilities

• Conduct physical failure analysis from low yield lots, baseline material, qualifications, and customer requests.
• Identify causes of failure by performing sample selection and determining optimal analysis techniques for fast, accurate results.
• Support manufacturing and engineering teams with physical failure analysis results for new process/product introductions and product transfers.
• Represent the Analysis Engineering department in foundry customer meetings to provide timely analysis results.
• Analyze electrical and imaging results to identify root causes and publish findings to team members and customers.
• Recommend analysis approaches based on customer failure mode data and electrical isolation results.
• Generate and compile high-quality FA reports for internal and external customers to assist in issue resolution.

Requirements

• B.S. to PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor FinFET fabrication processes and device physics (e.g., Transistors, PN Junctions).
• Basic knowledge of wafer/die level semiconductor Automated Test Equipment (ATE) tests and FA methodologies.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work in a fast-paced, multi-tasking environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with FA tools and techniques such as SEM, FIB, PVC, OBIRCH, or PEM.
• Experience with ATE systems like Teradyne UFLEX, Advantest V93K, or T2000.
• Ability to interpret FA and electrical ATE test data from die level down to the transistor level.
• Understanding of Wafer Level Reliability stress data (e.g., TDDB, HCI, HTOL).
• Experience with layout software (Camelot/Avalon) or developing automation scripts using Python.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Life insurance and 401(k) matching with immediate vesting.
• Paid maternity and paternity leave.
• Paid time off (PTO) plus regular and personal holidays.
