Micron TechnologyJob Title
Senior or Staff HBM PYE Product Development Failure Analysis Engineer
Role Summary
Senior/Staff product development engineer on the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Product Yield Enhancement (PYE) Failure Analysis team. The role focuses on identifying and resolving component and process-related failures during new HBM product introductions to enable rapid production ramp and early time-to-market.
Work closely with Product, Process, Quality and Test teams to apply electrical and physical characterization, statistical analysis, and AI-assisted techniques to drive component reliability improvements.
Experience Level
Senior / Staff level. Minimum 5+ years of relevant experience in electrical and statistical failure analysis and characterization; preferred 7+ years for staff-level roles.
Responsibilities
The engineer will perform analysis and coordinate corrective actions to support product introduction and ramp.
- Perform electrical and statistical failure analysis to identify and characterize failure mechanisms.
- Analyze component- and test-level data to determine root causes of failures and marginalities.
- Apply electrical and physical characterization techniques to reproduce, isolate, and diagnose issues.
- Use AI-assisted tools and statistical software to accelerate data analysis and identification of failure patterns.
- Coordinate cross-functional improvement activities with Product, Process, Quality, and Test Engineering teams.
- Report findings, recommend corrective actions, and track verification through design/process/test changes to support production ramp.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience, plus preferred additions.
- Must-have: 5+ years using electrical and statistical failure analysis to understand failure mechanisms.
- 5+ years applying electrical and physical characterization techniques.
- Proven analytical ability and proficiency with statistical data analysis tools.
- Practical experience working with cross-functional engineering teams to resolve fabrication, assembly, and test issues.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with AI tools for component failure analysis (e.g., Claude, Copilot); experience using JMP; advanced coursework or experience in VLSI, device physics, semiconductor processes, Python, and statistics; strong communication skills in multi-functional teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree required in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Physics, or Materials Science. Preferred: advanced coursework in VLSI, device physics, semiconductor processes, Python, and statistics.
