We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated FA engineer to join us. You will play a leading role developing Chip-Debug and Fault-Isolation viaOptical-Fault-Isolationand emerging techniques likescanning-focused-X-ray(XADA). This will include experimentation, guiding development of custom supporting HW, workflow development, and training of other users. You will be embedded in theLogic-Fault-Isolationgroup and work closely with our test HW group, mechanical design and tool vendors.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead the enablement of XADA and existing NIR and Thermal OFI tools for future technology nodes based on experimentation with different test-chips and existing products, to get ready for future product support.

• You will need to understand our optical FI workflow and work with our PFA team to guide sample-preparation development.

• Your responsibilities will include workflow development, user training and collaboration with the XADA tool vendors, driving SW & HW improvements and new feature development.

• Additionally, you will work with nvidia internal HW designers and external vendors regarding development of suitable test- and cooling-HW.

What We Need To See:

• Master's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Minimum of 12 years of experience in FA, at best with hand-on experience in technique enablement and development of supporting HW for Fault-Isolation.

• Knowledge of failure analysis techniques and methodologies.

• Basic understanding of scan-chain based test (DFT) and some experience in operation Automated Test Equipment (at best on Advantest 93k and/or Teradyne UFP).

• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, IC design, and fabrication processes.

• Experience with EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools and layout editing software.

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex circuit issues.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with multi-functional teams.

• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment, as well as independently when necessary.

• Experience in advanced technology nodes (e.g. 2nm or below).

• Familiarity with scripting languages for automation of processes/workflows.
