Fault Isolation Engineer

Job description

Job Description

Component Design Engineers are responsible for the design and development of electronic components. Responsibilities may include: the design of chip layout circuit design, circuit checking, device evaluation and characterization,documentation of specifications, prototype construction and checkout, modification and evaluation of semiconductor devices and components, performing developmental and/or test work, reviewing product requirements and logic diagrams, planning and organizing design projects or phases of design projects. Responds to customer/client requests or events as they occur. Develops solutions to problems utilizing formal education and judgement.As a Fault Isolation engineer, you will be responsible for analyzing and localizing component failures to improve product yield, quality and/or reliability.

Responsibilities include but are not be limited to:

·  Collaborate with cross-site FI-FA, Design, Test, Product Development, Debug, Quality and Reliability teams to enable fault isolation capabilities for new products to meet product and program requirements.

·  Utilize ATE tester, custom debug test setups, and electronic test equipment parametric analyzers, oscilloscopes, TDR, etc to perform electrical characterization of failures.

·  Utilize architecture, logic, circuit design, test and diagnosis tools to analyze and localize the fail circuit - Utilize fault isolation techniques with optical probers and others to localize the physical defect locations.

·  Work with Physical Failure Analysis teams to identify defect mechanism and collaborate with requestors to drive corrective action or root cause fix - Support development or improvement of fault isolation process and lab infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will exhibit the following behavioral traits:

- Strong analytical problem solving, team work, effective oral and written communication skills.

- Passionate in hands-on, lab-oriented environment.
