Sr. Failure Analysis Engineer, Microelectronics (Starlink)

Preferred

• Master’s or PhD in materials science, electrical engineering, physics, chemical engineering, or other STEM discipline with a focus on microelectronics or failure analysis
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in microelectronics failure analysis or materials characterization
• Direct experience with failure analysis tools and techniques (SEM, FIB, EDS, cross-sectioning, fault isolation, or equivalent)
• Strong understanding of semiconductor physics and common microelectronics failure mechanisms (electromigration, thermal fatigue, delamination, solder joint fatigue, electrical overstress/ESD, etc.)
• Proficiency with advanced FA tools including SEM, FIB, SAM, and EDS
• Hands-on experience in electrical characterization and fault isolation techniques such as IV curves, RF/VNA measurement, LIT, OBIRCH, EBIRCH, EBAC, nanoprobing, photon emission, or voltage contrast
• Experience applying JEDEC and AEC reliability test standards and physics-of-failure methodologies to root cause investigations
• Experience analyzing complex datasets with Python, JMP, or similar tools
