About the role

AI summarised

The PFA & EFA Technician at Micron Technology provides electrical and physical failure analysis support for semiconductor products across NPI, qualifications, and high-volume manufacturing. Key responsibilities include maverick lot disposition via the SBL system, performing EFA and PFA using advanced tools, and driving continuous improvement in a fast-paced lab environment. The role requires a Nitec/Higher Nitec/Diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engineering or related field, experience in test failure analysis or lab environment, and willingness to work 12-hour rotating shifts.

IDMFull-timeGeneral

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.
  • Maintain strong working knowledge of test processes, equipment, systems, and product behavior to enable accurate decision-making.
  • Document deviations and observations and provide feedback through the appropriate quality management system, ensuring traceability and compliance.
  • Develop and maintain strong EFA skills across product technologies to identify root cause and understand failure mechanisms.
  • 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, cross-sectioning support, and IMC measurement.
  • 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).
