Who You Are:

Staff/Senior Failure Analysis (FA) Engineer with extensive expertise in the semiconductor and LED industries.

Position Summary:

In this role, you will lead advanced fault isolation, physical characterization, and root cause investigations for cutting-edge Mini/MicroLED and optoelectronic products. You will act as the technical authority in our FA team, collaborating closely with internal and external R&D, manufacturing, and quality teams to drive product development, reliability and yield enhancement.

What You Will Do:

• Lead high-priority failure investigations involving manufacturing excursions, reliability-related failures, driving root-cause identification, corrective actions and product disposition decisions.
• Support manufacturing yield and product qualification activities through structured failure analysis and cross-functional problem solving.
• Specialize in CSP and Thin Film Flip Chip InGaN LED process fabrication and mini- and micro-LED process development and device characterization.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Process Engineering, Quality Assurance, and R&D teams to translate FA findings into actionable Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) and yield improvements.\
• Electrical & Optical Characterization: Perform meticulous electrical testing (I-V/C-V curves, parametric analysis) and optical testing (Electroluminescence/Photoluminescence, spectral distribution, radiant flux) on failed components.
• Non-Destructive & Destructive Inspection: Operate advanced analytical tools including X-ray radiography, Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (C-SAM), Emission Microscopy (EMMI), OBIRCH, FIB-SEM, TEM, EDX/EDS, and SIMS.
• Root Cause & Mechanism Investigation: Analyze physical failure mechanisms—such as ESD damage, electromigration, thermal degradation, die attach voids, wire bonding faults, and phosphor/encapsulation degradation in LEDs.
• Technical Reporting & Presentation: Author clear, highly technical FA reports and present complex findings to internal stakeholders, executive management, and external customers.

What You Will Bring (Required Qualifications):

• Deep familiarity with semiconductor fabrication (front-end/back-end) and LED packaging processes (die bonding, wire bonding, silicone encapsulation, phosphor conversion)
• Expert-level operation and interpretation of data from FIB, SEM, TEM, EDX, EMMI, and OBIRCH tools.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Proven track record of solving complex, ambiguous yield and reliability failures using structured methodologies (e.g., 8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys).
• Communication: Exceptional technical writing, verbal communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Education (Minimum Level)

• Bachelor's

Field of Study

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field.

Years of Experience (Minimum)

• 5 - 9 years

Preferred Qualifications:

• Progressive, hands-on failure analysis experience specifically within the semiconductor and LED/optoelectronics manufacturing or R&D sectors.
