We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Failure Analysis (FA) Engineer to drive die-level logic fault localization for our advanced semiconductor devices. You will work closely with our Design, Test, and DFT teams to identify root causes of silicon failures, accelerate yield improvements, and ensure the highest quality of our cutting-edge products.
What you'll be doing:
Die-Level Logic Fault Localization: Perform complex, hands-on failure analysis and root cause identification using physical and electrical fault isolation methodologies.
ATE Testing & Debugging: Utilize the Advantest 93K platform to test & characterize DUT and setup required test-looping to enable LVP, SDL and other FA techniques.
DFT Collaboration: Leverage knowledge of Design for Test (DFT) basics—including Scan, BIST, and boundary scan—to interpret test patterns and guide fault isolation strategies.
Root Cause Analysis: Analyze test results to distinguish between design, fab process, or tester-induced failures, delivering actionable corrective actions.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Product Engineering, Test Engineering, and Foundry Engineering teams to resolve yield, performance, and reliability issues.
What we need to see:
MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a closely related field (or equivalent experience).
5+ years of direct, hands-on experience in semiconductor failure analysis, yield engineering, or product engineering.
Strong practical experience with the Advantest 93k test platform.
Good understanding of DFT basics and logic fault localization.
Expert level experience on LFI techniques (LVP, EMMI, SDL, OBIRCH, or other photon/laser-based techniques).
Bonus if you also have experience with Teradyne Ultraflex plus
Excellent problem-solving abilities, strong technical communication skills, and a proven track record of driving complex issues to resolution.
This role presents an opportunity to have a wide impact at NVIDIA by improving the factory planning function. Are you creative, hard-working, dedicated, and determined? Do you love a challenge? If so, we want to hear from you!
