NVIDIA Networking IC Product Engineering team is looking for a highly skilled IC physical failure analysis (PFA) engineer to join our growing team and support PFA activities for yield improvement, product bring-up, customer returns, and product qualification. As a PFA engineer, you will own the physical failure analysis (PFA) part, develop work procedures/techniques/recipes, and perform PFA of IC’s using in-house equipment and in external labs.
What You Will Be Doing:
Operate dual-beam PFIB and develop workflows for the following applications:
Site-specific cross-sectioning
TEM sample preparation
IC delayer
Large scale cross-sections
Unique sample preparation for different probing and imaging techniques
Use SEM based nanoprobing techniques for fault isolation and device/cell characterization based on FA plan provided by the EFA engineers
EBAC/EBIC/EBRICH for fault isolation
Device and cell level measurements
Own and lead nanoprobing activities, including method development and execution. Continuously drive improvements, stay up-to date, and collaborate with vendors on new techniques.
Sample preparation for optical fault isolation, probing and more: use P-lapping and CNC for Si thinning and IC delayering
What We Need to See:
BSc in Materials/chemical engineering, physics, chemistry, or related fields
5+ years of relevant industry experience in IC package or die level Failure Analysis.
Ability to work and collaborate as part of a team and independently
Self-motivated with the ability to learn alone and review the literature to find solutions to our challenges.
Insist on high standards for high-quality samples
Good documentation and communication skills
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:
Good understanding of VLSI circuit design, and/or device physics, and/or IC process engineering
Experience with various IC delayering methods
Background with dual beam FIB for cross-sections and preparing lamella for TEM
Experience with SEM based nano-probing

What We Do
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.”
