Responsibilities
- Responsible for all aspects of identifying and characterizing failures on Data Center HW that leads to successful identification of RootCause of the failure
- Experience using FA equipment such as Optical/Digital Microscopes, Oscilloscopes, X-ray, SEM needed to successfully complete FA projects
- Work closely with HW Reliability to Root Cause reliability failures
- Recreate and identify failures observed in engineering, production, and field as needed for efficient fault isolation
- Debugging thermal related PCB and electrical module failures
- Develop Corrective actions for various failures observed based on Physics Of Failure methodology and validate the same
- Taking additional steps to ensure prevention of similar issues from repeating on new NPI programs
- Quantify FA in terms of improvements in yield, reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, testability, capacity, and cost when needed
- Validate and verify supplier and vendor FA
- Work with cross functional teams from all disciplines to determine and or discuss Root Cause
- SOP creation for vendors and suppliers to repeat similar FA analysis if and when needed
- Lab organization and detailed documentation leading to effective FA reports
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelors in Electrical or Mechanical engineering or Materials Science with 6+ years of failure analysis experience
- Proven proficiency with the use of eFA equipment including Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, frequency generators, source meters, and multimeters
- Hands-on experience with SEM, DB-FIB, mechanical polishing, dicing, EDS, mechanical probing, EBIC/EBAC, OBIRCH, LADA, TIVA, etc
- Systematic FA approach application and experience to methodically break down a system or process into subparts to isolate failures and troubleshoot to a component level
Preferred Qualifications
- Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineer or Materials Science with direct Data Center HW FA experience
- Experience analyzing datacenter failures (rack level hardware and/or datacenter infrastructure hardware)
- Fault localization skills for PCIE gen 5/6 and DDR gen 5/6
- Fault localization skills for custom Si/ASICs
$144,000/year to $204,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits
