Supports engineering activities such as design, test, check-out, modification, fabrication and assembly of prototype electro mechanical systems, experimental design circuitry, laser/light transmission devices or specialized test equipment.
Applications may include electronic circuits, photonics and logic systems. Works from schematics, diagrams, written and verbal descriptions, layouts or defined plans to perform testing, checkout and trouble-shooting functions
Performs operational test and fault isolation on systems and equipment. Assists in determining methods or actions to remedy malfunctions. Assists in the design, construction, test and check-out of test equipment. Uses manufacturing, test, development or diagnostic equipment, including, but not limited to, test programs, oscilloscopes, signal generators and specialized test apparatus.
Develop electrical test, chemical de-processing, CSAM cross-section/polishing processes and write controlled document procedures. Support lab chemical hygiene and waste disposal, safety, ESD prevention, 5S, tool ownership, and best practices.
Work with lab technician and engineer and collaborate Durham and Fayetteville failure analysis teams.
This Job is Right for You if You Have (Minimum Requirements) (3-5 base requirements to be able to perform the job):
2-year degree or better in physics, chemistry, materials science or engineering (electrical, chemical or materials) or related field or equivalent working experience in fa lab
Working knowledge of semiconductor process technology and device functionality
Great soft skills including technical writing, verbal communication, technical presentations, critical thinking, multi-tasking, flexibility with rapidly changing priorities, collaborating with remote teams, sense of urgency, accountability and ownership
Able to work in the lab in close proximity with others and be on your feet for up to 8 hours per day. Comfortable performing chemical, mechanical and high voltage electrical processes.
Preferred experience (I’m not sure if this should go into the req or not?):
2+ years’ hands-on experience in electrical component failure analysis including techniques such as CSAM, hotspot, de-processing (chemical, laser and/or plasma), mechanical cross section / polish, SEM and EDX (alternatively, experience with similar processes in wafer fabrication or packaging facility, or for cleaning or etching, may also be beneficial)
2+ years’ hands-on experience or at least working knowledge in micro-electronic semiconductor devices and assembly/packaging (discretes and power modules)
Chemical handling and general laboratory procedures
Hands-on electrical testing of semiconductor device components such as MOSFETs and Schottky diodes; SiC highly preferred
Supervisory or project leadership experience.
