Test Engineer

Job Title

Test Engineer

Role Summary

Perform electrical and physical failure analysis (FA) on semiconductor devices to identify root causes for device anomalies, customer returns, and qualification failures. Work within a failure analysis lab supporting product and process teams to reduce risk and improve yield.

The position is laboratory-focused and collaborates with process owners, product teams, vendors, and cross-functional groups to implement corrective actions and FA workflow improvements.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No explicit years of experience stated; role expects laboratory FA competency and practical experience with semiconductor test/FA tools (internship or prior experience is a plus).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Perform electrical and physical failure analysis for device anomalies, customer returns, and qualification failures.
• Use advanced FA tools (FIB/EDX, SEM, ion millers, CSAM, 2D/3D X-ray, Emmi, micro-prober, bench testers) to isolate and characterize failures.
• Analyze test-data failures using Bash/Python scripting in a Unix environment.
• Interpret electrical signatures and physical defects to determine failure mechanisms and corrective actions.
• Collaborate with process owners, product teams, and vendors to drive corrective and preventive actions.
• Develop and implement FA techniques to reduce turnaround time and improve accuracy.
• Drive continuous improvement and maintain FA workflow standards and +6S lab practices.
• Ensure compliance with lab safety protocols and proper chemical handling.
• Prepare detailed FA reports, maintain traceability records, and present findings to requestors and cross-functional teams.
• Provide technical guidance to FA technicians and manage workload distribution.
• Identify and apply automation, data analytics, and AI-enabled tools to optimize FA workflows and decision-making.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications:

• Must-have: Strong analytical, logical, and critical-thinking skills.
• Must-have: Effective communicator; able to collaborate across all levels and with cross-functional teams.
• Must-have: Baseline digital fluency and role-appropriate AI literacy to use AI-enabled tools responsibly for research, analysis, and operational tasks.
• Preferred / Nice-to-have: Internship or prior experience in the semiconductor industry.
• Preferred: Interest in and knowledge of the semiconductor industry and Micron.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or advanced degree in Engineering is required.
