Package Assembly Low Yield Analysis Engineer on Shift

Job Title

Package Assembly Low Yield Analysis Engineer on Shift

Role Summary

Work as an on-shift engineer in a foundry back-end package assembly failure analysis (LYA) lab. Perform hands-on electrical and physical characterization, test, and root-cause analysis of assembly and wafer-level failures to identify yield loss mechanisms and recommend corrective actions.

The role supports cross-functional teams, suppliers, and customers to drive yield improvements and sustain product assembly processes. This position is lab-based and requires on-site shift work (Shift 7, compressed back-half schedule).

Experience Level

Entry-level / College graduate. Suitable for recent graduates or candidates with limited professional experience; specific equipment experience expectations are listed below.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include technical analysis, lab execution, and cross-team support to identify failure mechanisms and improve yield.

• Plan and execute hands-on lab tests and failure analyses for package and assembly issues.
• Design and modify test setups, define data acquisition strategies, and analyze results.
• Perform electrical fault isolation and support characterization to determine root cause of in-line failures.
• Develop and document best known methods (BKMs), techniques, and corrective action recommendations.
• Coordinate with shift technicians, engineers, yield teams, integration, and external suppliers.
• Provide technical consultation and incident response to internal customers as events occur.
• Communicate findings through reports and presentations to stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience required for initial consideration; preferred items are listed as nice-to-have.

• Must-have: 3+ months hands-on experience with electron microscopy or other characterization/fault isolation tools (e.g., SEM, TEM) obtained via work, internships, or coursework.
• Must-have: Ability to perform lab work safely and reliably in an on-site shift environment (Shift 7 compressed schedule).
• Experience with electrical fault isolation tools and techniques (hand probe, curve tracer, auto probing, TDR, EBAC, etc.) is expected or developed on the job.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to data collection and interpretation.
• Good verbal and written communication skills for reporting results to engineers and customers.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with destructive/optical analysis (cross-sectioning, delayering, X-ray, CSAM, FIB), chemical compositional analysis (EDX, AFM, FTIR, Raman), and statistical/data tools (JMP, SQL scripting).
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with package/die mapping tools (Mentor Graphics, SysNav/CadNav, FIELD).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related technical field. Equivalent practical experience or relevant coursework/internships/military training may also satisfy this requirement.
