The general responsibilities of the position are the following:

• Perform Electrical Failure Analysis and Fault Isolation
• ​Operate uMate bench test platform
• Operate Hamamatsu iPHEMOS, Thermo Fisher ELITE and other photon, thermal, or laser stimulating emission tools
• Characterize or model backend test, internal qualification, and RMA fail signatures
• Extensive understanding of physical and logical semi-conductor design
• Use layout/schematic to aid in fault isolation and fail signature modeling
• Understand various PFA and de-processing techniques for failures

• Understanding Fabrication Process and Package Assembly
• In depth understanding of CMOS process fabrication levels, steps, and methodologies
• Knowledge of the steps and details involved in the package assembly flow
• Understand reliability concerns that can cause delayed breakdown fail signatures
• Extensive expertise with process and assembly related defects as well as their causes and effects

• Provide Clear and Comprehensive Fail Signature Information
• Understand probe, backend test and qualification flows
• Generate organized and timely failure analysis reports with clearly communicated causes and effects
• Perform fab, probe, and backend data extractions to provide supplemental data
