  • Comprehend failures and failure rate within the scope of the qualification
  • Analyze Reliability data for product validation within specific internal and customer requirements
  • Perform risk assessment at all decision points within qualification cycle
  • Perform Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) and coordinate root cause and corrective action with other internal engineering groups

• Provide technical expertise to internal/external customer
  • Collaborate with customer to develop custom test methods based on application usage model
  • Communicate directly with customer as needed
  • Review Customer qualification specifications
  • Provide risk assessment to customer
  • Assess customer feedback and communicate them internally

• Develop Product Quality and Reliability Testing Methodology
  • Coordinate with research and development teams
  • Comprehend new processes/technologies for product quality and reliability issues involving MNAND products
  • Comprehend new HW/FW technologies for product quality and reliability issues involving MNAND products
  • Inject MNAND quality and reliability requirements into silicon component qualifications and development
  • Develop product reliability tests methods to assess new failure mechanisms
  • Define test methodology and flows for product qualification

• Support Deviant Material Disposition
  • Assess deviation for product quality and reliability risk based on component deviation
  • Define evaluation(s) necessary to mitigate risk
  • Facilitate and manage evaluations
  • Disposition deviant material at appropriate level

• Internal Technical Support for RMA Material, Package and Monitor activities
  • Assist MNAND RMA team for customer return failure analysis, risk assessment, root cause and corrective action definition
  • Provide input on manufacturing history and known issues relative to customer failure signature
  • Assist package and monitor teams for electrical failures analysis
  • Assist with necessary corrective actions at manufacturing level
  • Comprehend field failure rates relative to internal failure rates

• Provide Expertise and Consultation
  • Support Global Qual Meetings
  • On-board new team members
  • Train, mentor, and develop new talent
  • Interface with engineering groups on quality issues

Requirement

• Electronic engineering, Microelectronics or related field background with BS degree or above.
• Fluent English in both verbal and written
• Ability to analyze problems, diagnose root cause, and apply corrective actions is required
• Familiar with semiconductor device physics, reliability physics and modern CMOS fabrication process is preferred
• Have rich knowledge on NOR/NAND/RAM is a plus
• Good teamwork and communication skills are must
