About the role
AI summarisedThe PFA & EFA Technician provides comprehensive Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) and Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) support for products across New Product Introduction (NPI), qualification, and high-volume manufacturing (HVM). This role is critical in the disposition of maverick material triggered by the Statistical Bin Limit (SBL) system, requiring data-driven evaluation and close collaboration with cross-functional partners to determine root cause and failure mechanisms.
IDMOnsite
Key Responsibilities
- Execute and follow up on FA actions (EFA and/or PFA) to determine disposition paths for SBL-triggered investigations.
- Recommend and communicate lot dispositions clearly and timely to stakeholders based on data analysis.
- Utilize advanced FA tools such as IV curve tracer, micro-prober, and bench tester to perform EFA.
- Conduct physical failure analysis and correlate electrical failure modes to physical defects when necessary.
- Perform package and sample preparation activities including de-processing, cross-sectioning support, and IMC measurement.
- Operate FA lab tools such as Ion Miller, FIB, EDX, SEM, 2D/3D X-ray, Thermal EMMI.
- Capture, save, and organize images and data; write structured, detailed FA documentation and reports with clear conclusions.
- Propose and implement engineering and technical improvement ideas to reduce SBL triggers and optimize EFA/PFA workflows.
Requirements
- Nitec / Higher Nitec / Diploma in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Ability to extract, interpret, and analyze test data to support SBL-triggered investigations.
- Strong adherence to lab safety and quality systems in a fast-paced production environment.
- Ability to maintain strong working knowledge of test processes, equipment, systems, and product behavior.
- Experience in test failure analysis, a lab environment, or manufacturing troubleshooting is a strong advantage.
