Job Title

Senior Engineer, Failure Analysis (NTI)

Role Summary

As a Yield Failure Analysis Engineer in Micron's NAND Technology Integration (NTI) Singapore team, you will lead physical and electrical failure analysis to identify root causes of yield issues for next-generation products. You will become a domain expert in physical failure analysis and work with product development and process integration to improve device yield.

Key activities include electrical characterization, de-processing PFA, data analysis, and developing new FA methodologies and capabilities.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting requests 4–10 years of experience in Failure Analysis or PFA; the role expects an experienced engineer able to lead FA initiatives and present to global teams.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include performing failure analysis, driving yield improvements, and collaborating across functions.

• Perform electrical characterization and verification to confirm and localize failures.
• Execute physical failure analysis and de-processing techniques to determine root causes.
• Develop and deploy new FA methodologies and capabilities to enhance yield.
• Analyze parametric, probe, and fabrication data to identify failure sources.
• Collaborate with metrology, RDA, product development, and process integration teams; present findings in global meetings.
• Support transfer of layout and architecture fundamentals from R&D to manufacturing fabs.
• Integrate AI-assisted tools and insights to improve efficiency and analysis quality while complying with standards.
• Follow health, safety, and environmental procedures.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience for immediate contribution; additional technical skills are desirable.

• 4–10 years' experience in Failure Analysis or PFA, including electrical characterization and verification.
• Practical experience with PFA/de-processing techniques and root cause identification.
• Ability to analyze probe, parametric, and fabrication data and communicate findings to cross-functional teams.
• Proven track record driving FA initiatives and delivering new methodologies.
• Strong collaboration and presentation skills for global interactions.
• Nice-to-have: programming experience (Python, C/C++, JavaScript), familiarity with Windows and Linux environments, JMP statistical software, and experience with metrology or RDA tools.

Education Requirements
