This role requires a strong engineering background and mindset, high degree of attention to detail, ability to perform complex procedures, and hands-on expertise in destructive and non-destructive techniques.
Key responsibilities include leading Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA) investigations per MIL-STD methods (e.g., MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-750, MIL-STD-1580) to identify defects and assess reliability risks. The engineer will perform advanced analysis using optical/digital microscopy, SEM/EDS, X-ray (2D/real-time), and C-SAM to characterize component construction and detect anomalies. Additional tasks involve conducting cross-sectioning, de-lidding, chemical/plasma etching, hermeticity testing, and other physical analysis techniques.
The ideal candidate will have a BS degree in Electrical, Materials, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline, along with 5+ years of relevant experience in failure analysis, semiconductor packaging, or electronics reliability. Expertise in failure analysis techniques and firsthand experience with DPA and related methods are essential. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the ability to work independently and multi-task, and excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and collaboration are also required.
