Failure Analysis Engineer

Job Location

Israel, Hod HaSharon (Hybrid)

Job Brief

Drive fault isolation and root cause analysis of advanced semiconductor devices, with a focus on memory arrays and associated logic and peripheral circuitry.

Job Description

Lead fault isolation and root cause analysis of memory and logic failures, including electrical, test, and yield failures, from initial failure signature through physical confirmation

Analyze failures at device, memory-cell, array, and circuit level, differentiating between design, test, device, process, and physical failure mechanisms

Correlate electrical characterization, memory-test and yield results, schematics, layout, and physical FA findings to identify and validate root cause

Develop and execute effective fault-isolation strategies, localizing failures down to the relevant cell, circuit, interconnect, or physical structure

Work closely with Design, Device, Test/Product, Process, Reliability, and Physical FA labs to solve complex failures and drive corrective actions

Improve FA methodologies, prepare and present engineering FA report on complex failure investigations

Required Skills and Experience

Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Engineering, or a related technical field

5+ years of relevant experience in semiconductor failure analysis, fault isolation, silicon debug, memory characterization, product engineering, or a related field

Strong experience in fault isolation and root cause analysis of semiconductor devices

Ability to analyze electrical, test, and yield failure signatures and correlate them with schematics, layout, circuit behavior, and physical findings

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to drive complex investigations across multiple engineering disciplines
