Job Title:
Senior Scientist I (Failure/Reliability Analysis), IME
Requisition ID:
1762
Posting Start Date:
16/05/2026
Job purpose
Test and analyze to determine the root cause of failure in GaN-based RF active and passive devices
Job Responsibilities
- Decide and perform experiments to analyse and determine the root cause of failure in GaN devices (e.g. Transistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Resistors, and Diode) and circuits.
- Join the cross-functional teams on appropriate FMEA (Failure Mode Effects & Analysis) techniques to indicate the failure mechanisms of the devices.
- Participate teamwork on testing, process development and yield improvements.
- Lead and drives device reliability/qualification activities, and data correlation studies.
- Collect, analyse and manage large & disparate data sets and distill information into concise presentations with possible recommendations as quick feedback to the engineering team.
- Develop new FMEA techniques to improve detection capability, productivity or process optimization.
- Be a key stakeholder to resolve customers’ questions or concerns related to product qualifications and reliability.
- Mentor/coach the junior testing engineers in daily-based laboratory activities.
- Be capable to conduct tests overtime (OT) with payment occasionally.
Job Requirement
- PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Materials Science or Physics, MS degree in EE with 10+ relevant working experiences.
- > 7 years of FMEA experience in step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in the semiconductor industry.
- FMEA experience in Wide-Bandgap (WBG) devices (GaAs, GaN) is plus.
- Good knowledge of WBG device physics and its fabrication is a big plus.
- In-Depth understanding of FMEA techniques (e.g. delaying of devices/chips by wet etching or plasma etching and its data analysis) with good hands-on experience in using different analytical techniques (e.g. SIMS, XPS, AES, SEM, FIB-SEM, TEM, AFM, etc.)
- Understanding of semiconductor device qualification standard such as JEDEC.
- Excellent report writing and presentation skills, able to robustly defend data analysis and conclusions where necessary.
Other Essential Attributes
- Good team-player personality, able to pro-actively engage with other groups
- Self-motivated, energetic, able to delivery in time
