As a Global Quality (GQ) Electrical Failure Analysis (EFA) Engineer on the DRAM/Emerging Memory Quality and Reliability Assurance team (DEMQRA) at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for the electrical characterisation and electrical failure analysis (EFA) of all DRAM product types. You will need to distinguish its package related failures or device related. You need to have DRAM functionality, process, test program and device knowledge to make the judgment. You will also use a variety of test tools, including the uMate testers, Probers, CAD layout tools, and a variety of technical drawings and schematics to perform detailed characterisation. You will log and sort failures in order to determine particular failure mechanisms characteristics. In this role, you will communicate with various engineering groups, assist lab users with equipment setup and interpretation of data, and maintain an EFA database. You will also be expected to seek ways to improve the EFA process in order to reduce test time, increase throughput, and increase failure mechanism assignment accuracy and consistency.
