Failure Analysis and Fault Isolation (FA/FI) Engineer

Job Description

Fab Sort Manufacturing (FSM) is responsible for the production of all Intel silicon using some of the world's most advanced manufacturing processes in fabs in Arizona, Ireland, Israel, Oregon and 2 new greenfield sites in Ohio and Germany.

Intel recently created HVM Global Yield organization in FSM to strengthen its yield operation and enable fast-paced yield ramp-up in early HVM phases for each technology in collaboration with Technology Development (TD) team, and FSM fab managers.

This job requisition is seeking a Failure Analysis & Fault Isolation (FA/FI) Engineer working in our FSM Ireland Analytical Laboratories which operate 24/7.  Selected candidate will work in a dynamic team supporting technology development & yield improvement through targeted electrical and physical failure analyses (EFA / PFA).  Team will support both product and test chips, spanning from data analysis & workflow planning, sample preparation, nanoprobing, tester based & static fault isolation, report generation and customer presentation.   Engineers may focus on specific modules or cover full analysis flow.

FI/FA Engineers responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Review incoming support requests and determine initial failure analysis / fault isolation workflow to identify & visualize root cause.

• Hands on operation of laboratory equipment, such as curve tracing, photon emission microscopy, laser stimulation (OBIRCH), and infrared imaging systems.

• Conduct failure analysis workflows using Ga & plasma FIBs, nanoprobing and sample preparation equipment.  Mentor and coordinate workflows with supporting technicians.

• Interact with Transmission Electron Imaging (TEM) experts to interpret and explain failure root cause. 

• Support continual improvement & development of new workstreams & techniques. 

• Develop a thorough understanding of upstream and downstream techniques in the lab and work seamlessly with peers of different disciplines to get high quality results with fast throughput time.

• Present results of key analyses to internal and external customers.
