Engineer, Yield Enhancement Laboratory

Your Role

Are you curious about why semiconductor devices fail and how engineers uncover the root cause?

As a Yield Enhancement Laboratory Engineer, you will solve challenging problems in advanced memory products using electrical and physical failure analysis. You will investigate failures, identify root causes, and turn analytical findings into actions that improve product yield, quality, and technology performance. You will gain hands-on experience with advanced analytical techniques and work closely with Product, Design, Process, Yield, Manufacturing, and R&D engineers.

You don't need to know every failure-analysis technique on day one. We are looking for strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and a passion for learning.

What You Will Do

• Solve real semiconductor problems by investigating yield, quality, and technology issues through electrical and physical failure analysis.

• Develop hands-on expertise in advanced techniques such as EMMI, OBIRCH, thermal analysis, SEM, FIB, TEM, and nanoprobing.

• Find the root cause by connecting electrical behavior, physical evidence, device physics, circuit behavior, and manufacturing processes.

• Turn analysis into action by providing clear technical findings that help engineering teams improve product, process, and design performance.

• Collaborate across engineering teams, including Product, Design, Process, Yield, Manufacturing, and R&D.

• Support new technologies from technology development and product qualification through yield ramp and high-volume manufacturing.

• Improve how we work by developing better analytical methods and improving quality, productivity, and cycle time.

• Use AI, data analytics, and automation responsibly to identify patterns, accelerate engineering analysis, improve technical documentation, and automate repetitive workflows.

• Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.

• Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.

What You Will Learn

You will build technical expertise in:

• Semiconductor device physics and memory technology

• Electrical fault isolation and physical failure analysis

• SEM, FIB, TEM, nanoprobing, and other advanced analytical techniques

• Root-cause analysis and structured problem-solving

• Connecting device failures to process, material, circuit, and design interactions

• Data analysis, automation, and responsible use of AI in engineering

• Technical communication and cross-functional problem-solving

This combination gives you broad exposure across devices, processes, products, and advanced failure analysis, providing a strong foundation for a career in semiconductor engineering.
