MBIST Diagnostics/Solutions Engineer - Staff/Sr.Staff

Role Summary

We are seeking an experienced and innovative professional to lead the development of advanced memory diagnostic methodologies and tools for next-generation SoCs. This role involves driving cutting-edge solutions in DRAM design-for-diagnostics, failure analysis, and AI/ML-based pattern recognition to improve memory yield and reliability across high-volume manufacturing environments.

Experience Level

Senior, with a minimum of 10 years of experience in memory diagnostics, DRAM test, and failure analysis in advanced SoC environments.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and enhance memory diagnostic methodologies including DRAM-specific diagnostics.
• Define and develop memory test and repair algorithms (BIRA, ECC, redundancy analysis).
• Isolate failing memory locations and analyze failure signatures to support yield improvement, RMA, and HTOL debug.
• Evaluate and improve memory yield through data analysis and test coverage enhancements.
• Design and implement AI/ML-based pattern recognition tools to enable advanced bitmapping and failure characterization.
• Collaborate with silicon validation, product engineering, and yield analysis teams to correlate diagnostics with silicon behavior.
• Drive innovation in diagnostic algorithms and tool development to support future technology nodes and memory architectures.

Requirements

Candidates must have:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in memory diagnostics/bitmapping and DRAM test.
• Deep understanding of fault isolation, redundancy schemes, and fault models.
• Experience with AI/ML techniques and data analytics in semiconductor test or yield domains.
• Proficiency in Python, Perl, and TCL.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a cross-functional environment.

Education Requirements

Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field is required.
