Staff Engineer Failure Analysis

In your new role you will: Investigating Failures: analyze the root causes of failures in electronic components or systems to determine the underlying issues. Testing and Characterization: conduct various tests and experiments to characterize the failure modes and understand the behavior of the faulty components. Root Cause Identification: use techniques such as fault isolation, microscopy, and other analytical tools to pinpoint the exact reasons for the failures. Report Generation: prepare detailed reports documenting the findings of the failure analysis, including the root cause, impact, and potential solutions or preventive measures. Collaborating with Cross-functional Teams: work closely with design, development, process, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve failure issues and implement preventive actions. Failure Trend Analysis: analyze failure trends over time to proactively address emerging issues and prevent widespread failures in products or systems. Continuous Learning and Training: stay updated on the latest failure analysis techniques and tools, continuously improving my skills through training and self-study. Customer Support: provide technical support to customers, addressing their concerns related to failure analysis and offering solutions to mitigate future failures. Compliance and Standards: ensure that failure analysis processes comply with industry standards and regulations, and I contribute to the development of best practices in the field. Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing: mentor junior engineers and share knowledge and expertise in failure analysis to foster a culture of learning and continuous improvement within the organization. Risk Assessment: assess the potential risks associated with identified failure modes and work to mitigate these risks through appropriate actions. Cross-functional Communication: communicate effectively with various stakeholders, including management, engineers, and suppliers, to ensure a comprehensive approach to failure analysis and resolution. You are best equipped for this task if you have: Bachelor's degree, master's, or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, Physics, Materials science, or a related field. +5 years experience in failure analysis, semiconductor industry, electronic manufacturing, or related field is highly desirable. Proficient in failure analysis techniques, semiconductor physics, materials characterization, and knowledge of electronic components and systems. Familiarity with analytical instruments such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), lock-in thermography (LIT), focused ion beam (FIB),and various analytical instruments is valuable. Strong analytical and problem-solving ability. Ability to interpret complex data and use statistical methods. Familiarity with industry standards related to failure analysis, reliability testing, and quality management systems is helpful. Fluent in English both written and verbal communication skills Have self-initiative and creative. Have a willingness to work and be able to work under pressure. Adhere to ethical standards. Honesty in work and commitment to professional ethics. Familiarity with imaging analytical applications such as FIJI (FijiIs Just ImageJ) and ImageJ can be advantage Driving decarbonization and digitalization. Together.
