Collaborate with highly experienced engineers and subject matter experts across a global network of Product Analysis Labs
Develop new analytical capabilities and influence future laboratory technologies and methodologies.
Expand both technical and leadership expertise while supporting high-impact business-critical investigations.
Play a key role in improving product quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction across the company.
Perform electrical and lead physical failure analysis investigations on customer returns and internally generated failures arising from qualification, reliability, design debug, manufacturing, and technology development activities.
Develop comprehensive analysis strategies using background information such as electrical test results, ATE data, reliability information, imaging results, application knowledge, and design data.
Characterize the failure modes using semiconductor parameter analyzers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, function generators, application boards, automated test equipment and other advanced laboratory instrumentation.
Utilize fault localization techniques such as Photon Emission Microscopy (PEM), Optical Beam Induced Resistance CHange (OBIRCH), Electro-Optical Frequency Mapping (EOFM), Electro-Optical Probing (EOP), microprobing, nanoprobing, scan diagnosis, and related methodologies to localize failure sites.
Direct and interpret physical and materials characterization activities utilizing SEM, FIB, TEM, EDS, FTIR, X-ray, CT imaging, and advanced sample preparation techniques.
Correlate electrical characterization, fault localization, physical analysis and materials characterization results to determine root cause and clearly identify failure mechanisms.
