Assist FA engineers in performing failure analysis on customer’s RMA returns and internal engineering requests
Learn and perform hands-on in electrical fault isolation and defect characterization at both IC (or silicon level) and power supply
Inspect and document incoming RMA returns both at IC’s and Power Supply levels
Support electrical debugging activities, including performing impedance measurements, ATE test, and curve tracing of IC’s
Work with senior engineers to analyze test data and perform physical analysis (e.g., optical microscopy and CSAM/SEM imaging)
Support FA engineers in data collection, documentation and contribution to technical reports
