Material Characterization/Failure Analysis Engineer, Raxium
As a Material Characterization/Failure Analysis Engineer, you will stand at the intersection of process development, yield enhancement, and reliability, serving as a critical resource for driving continuous improvement and problem solving within micro-LED manufacturing. Your primary responsibility will be to meticulously analyze and characterize materials/defects that impact device performance. You will use advanced material characterization techniques and sophisticated tools to examine material microstructure and surface properties, identify defect patterns and trends, and organize microscopic images to support correlative and root-cause studies. You will collaborate with process development, process integration, yield, and reliability teams to provide actionable insights and recommendations for process improvements.
Responsibilities
Leverage expertise in material structure, function, and advanced microscopy to investigate root causes of display defectivity and to understand how material properties and process parameters influence LED performance.
Evaluate data using analytical techniques including SEM, STEM, EDS, XPS, SIMS, and AFM to build a comprehensive understanding of material and defect characteristics and their impact on display performance.
Correlate findings from electrical, optical, and material characterization methods to detect defects and deduce their formation mechanisms.
Document and summarize technical findings, translating them into clear, concise insights.
Drive the development of novel and advanced microscopy/failure analysis techniques in partnership with cross-functional teams to continuously enhance analytical capabilities.
Qualifications
Minimum qualifications: Bachelor degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
2 years of experience operating and interpreting data from FIB/SEM and STEM to drive root cause analysis.
2 years of experience in a research setting or industry with meticulous examination of microscopic features and creation of comprehensive reports.
Preferred qualifications: Master's or PhD degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
3 years of industry experience in material characterization/failure analysis of semiconductor materials in optoelectronic applications.
Experience with image processing fundamentals and computer vision techniques using Python, MATLAB, JMP, etc.
Experience with optoelectronic characterization (EL, PL, CL, EBIC) and material characterization techniques (EDS, XPS, SIMS, NanoSIMS, APT).
Knowledge of epitaxial growth, crystal structures, crystal defects, and surface chemistry.
Knowledge of semiconductor materials and their properties.
