We have an opportunity for an experienced eFA Engineer with a proven track record of fault isolation and failure analysis of complex SoCs. In this high visibility role, you will be able to influence design quality to meet silicon sign-off specs. The role involves working closely with diverse teams within Rivos as well as external vendors. Occasional travel might be required. Responsibilities

Perform device level fault isolation to support new product development, yield excursion, qualification, and customer returns

Design experiments using Scan, MBIST and Functional test patterns to narrow down the focus area to root-cause manufacturing defects and speed path issues during Silicon bringup and validation phase

Drive failure analysis and corrective action at Foundry and OSAT

Provide critical feedback to PD, STA, DFT teams for design improvements to recover performance

Requirements

Minimum 10 years experience performing FA / FI of IC devices on advanced process nodes.

Hands-on proficiency with electrical fault isolation tools and techniques such as photo-emission, static and dynamic laser stimulation, LVx, scan diagnostic techniques, ATE, thermal imaging, nano-probing, and applications bench testing.

In-depth understanding of CAD layout, ATE and bench test data logs, digital and analog circuits, device physics, IC fabrication and assembly.

Familiarity with common IC failure mechanisms and quality stress configurations.

Expertise in SoC Product Engineering and / or DFT is highly desirable

Education

PhD, Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in technical subject area
