Key Responsibilities

  • Extract, interpret, and analyze test data to support SBL-triggered investigations
  • Execute and follow up on FA actions (EFA and/or PFA) to determine disposition paths
  • Recommend and communicate lot dispositions clearly and timely to stakeholders for quality control
  • Document deviations and observations and provide feedback through the appropriate quality management system, ensuring traceability and compliance
  • Utilize advanced FA tools such as an IV curve tracer, micro-prober, and bench tester to perform EFA
  • Support site EFA activities including failure confirmation, characterization, and electrical failure data correlation studies
  • Provide EFA support and PFA recommendations for assembly failure cases and other escalations
  • Conduct physical failure analysis and correlate electrical failure modes to physical defects when needed
  • Perform package and sample preparation activities such as package de-processing and cross-sectioning support
  • Utilize layout and failure localization information to correlate suspected defect locations

Requirements

  • Nitec / Higher Nitec / Diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
  • Experience in test failure analysis, a lab environment, or manufacturing troubleshooting is a strong advantage
  • Enthusiastic working with data, diagnostic tools, and structured problem-solving methods
  • Able to work effectively in cross-functional teams and communicate clearly in a production environment
  • Required to work 12-hour rotating shifts
  • Proficiency in FA tools and techniques (FIB, SEM, CSAM, Emmi, Oscilloscope, I-V Curve Tracer, ATE)
