Engineer - Electrical Failure Analysis, Singapore

As a Failure Analysis Engineer on our Research & Development team, you will have the opportunity to merge creativity with your technical expertise by shaping the future of technology, driving groundbreaking projects, and bringing new ideas to life.

As an Electrical Failure Analysis Engineer, you will be responsible for customer return analysis for automotive microcontroller products, understanding and reproducing customer‑reported failures, performing in‑depth technical analyses using advanced tools and equipment, and providing expert guidance to ensure efficient resolution and continuous improvement. You will also apply your technical knowledge to support cost‑reduction activities such as test time reduction, test yield improvement, qualify fab sites and qualify manufacturing flow transfers.

• Understand and investigate production failures on lab bench for yield improvement
• Understand the customer's failure description and reproduce failures in the application or at device level
• Define the failure origin as well as further analysis steps and perform the analysis using a test bench
• Use, adapt and develop functional tests (i.e. application pattern) for reproducing the failure at our evaluation board
• Build a special measurement setup, including an oscilloscope and a debugger to stimulate the failure; sometimes the execution and debugging of customer code will also be required
• Generate analysis reports and perform continuous updates to enable the quality and customer interface organization to provide regular status updates to our customers
• Generate special test cases for localization of defects in the device for Physical Failure Analysis preparation
• Define concepts for test program improvements if required
• Build up a technical focus area where you are our most experienced engineer, e.g. Non‑Volatile Memory, SRAM, Mixed‑signal / analog, High‑Speed interfaces or test‑program development

You are an exceptionally self‑motivated individual with an effective working style who can work in complex working environments and handle multiple tasks simultaneously. You have a great ability to tackle unexpected challenges and see problems as an incentive for constant improvement rather than a source of frustration. You actively seek out knowledge from others and foster discussions to produce the best solutions, contribute to a self‑learning organization by building up and keeping long‑term know‑how of several product families, and help create an open and collaborative work environment.

• A bachelor or equivalent degree in Electronics, Electrical, Microelectronics, Semiconductor Physics or other technical fields
• Experience in electrical measurement methods: DC measurements, use of oscilloscopes and frequency generators; physical background for semiconductor measurements
• Knowledge in software development for automotive microcontroller applications
• Experience in microcontroller programming with C, Perl or Python
• Knowledgeable in semiconductor structures and manufacturing processes (e.g. special knowledge of NVM and or high‑speed interface)
• Strong technical/analytical analysis capability – with primary focus on electrical analysis
• Knowledge of semiconductor physics, failure mechanisms, and manufacturing processes
• Understanding of 8‑D Methodology, Statistical Yield Analysis, SBL, DOE, FMEA, FTA, Fishbone Analysis, Is / Is‑not, and Why‑Why
• Some experience in electrical failure analysis or product engineering and customer quality is a plus
• Candidates with little or no experience are welcome to apply
