- Coordinate detailed component-level electrical failure analysis (EFA) and physical failure analysis (PFA) and interpret findings.
Cross-Functional Analysis & Corrective Actions
- Review feedback and Corrective Actions (CA) from manufacturing and engineering teams.
- Drive follow-up discussions to ensure findings adequately address customer concerns.
- Translate technical analysis into clear, customer-friendly conclusions.
- Analyze data from multiple sources to identify trends and variations.
- Communicate required process and product improvements to relevant teams.
Customer Reporting & Technical Support
- Summarize RMA background, investigation activities, and failure analysis results.
- Identify root causes and potential improvements for inclusion in customer reports.
- Provide containment information and associated risk assessments.
- Generate interim and final Failure Analysis (FA) reports for customers.
- Provide ongoing technical support for customer questions and concerns related to FA findings.
DRAM Technology & Application Expertise
- Maintain knowledge of the latest DRAM process technologies.
- Understand differences between technology nodes and their associated risks.
- Maintain a strong understanding of device datasheet specifications.
- Stay current on common customer DRAM applications.
