Nvidia Senior Failure Analysis Engineer 

United States, California 

789392760

What you’ll be doing:

• Perform and coordinate both Electrical and Physical Failure Analysis efforts to assist in product development, design debug, yield improvement, final test, quality on various NVIDIA products.

• We apply advanced EFA principles and operate EFA tools such as Curve Tracer, Emission-based analytical tools, Laser Scanning Microscopy, and imaging tools (3D Xray, CSAM, etc.) for fault isolation and analysis.

• Communicate effectively EFA fault isolation findings and provide timely assistance to PFA teams (in-house or foundry and assembly partners) to root cause the problems.

• We collaborate closely with Product Engineering and Test Engineering teams to verify and duplicate failures modes of failures that are reported on ATE, SLT, and appropriate test setups.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve production test program quality and efficiency.

• Actively participate in multi-functional teams to efficiently debug product failures and implement optimal solutions.

• We write and maintain scripts and tools for the test engineering groups to improve overall efficiency and effectiveness.

What we need to see:

• Master's degree or higher in electronics or related engineering fields (or equivalent experience).

• 8-10 years of proven experience in Failure Analysis or related fields.

• Proficiency in basic electrical engineering and testing, transistor device physics, silicon device analysis, sophisticated CMOSmanufacturing/processes,circuit analysis, and automated test equipment (ATE).

• Ability to understand and/or operate tools for silicon inspection, cross-section, delayering, material analysis (Scanning Electron Microscope, Focused Ion Beam, Nanoprobing, etc.) is a plus.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to participate optimally in diverse teams.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Demonstrate proficiency in sophisticated backside analysis techniques and use of innovative analytical instruments.

• Showcase experience in analog circuit design, PLLs, and system-level testing/validation.

• Display familiarity with Linux operating systems/shell scripting and programming languages such as Python/Perl and/or C/C++.
