Job description

  • Own FA pipeline for NPI and MP builds
  • Take ownership of failed units once CM NPI/MP yield reports are released; prioritize based on yield and customer impact.
  • Triage failures, classify by failure type (HW, test, process, system), and coordinate board movement and tracking.
  • Execute standard FA flow: visual inspection, repro of failure, electrical characterization, and isolation to device/board/test/process root cause.
  • Use tools such as MODS/diags, shmoos (voltage/frequency/temperature), floor-sweeping of GPU resources, voltage margining, packet and link-level debug, etc., to characterize intermittent and marginalities.
  • Prepare and execute debug experiments on host systems (remote access, scripting, automation) to reproduce and narrow failure signatures.
  • File and manage NV bugs in the correct modules (e.g., BoardOps, BrdSoln) for every HW failure, with clear symptom, conditions, logs, and suspected scope.
  • Own bug lifecycle: driving reproducer clarity, experiments, and data needed by PDE/design, closing with well-documented root cause and corrective action.
  • Partner with PDE, design, test, quality, CM test/FXN, and component vendors to converge root cause and implement robust fixes in design, test content, or process.
  • Provide FA input to FRR / factory readiness, test plans, and manufacturing control plans so that known risks are screened at scale.
  • Summarize FA learnings into Pareto, yield detractors, and systemic issue patterns for PE/PDE and Ops leadership.
  • Recommend and help implement improvements: test limits, new screens, process changes, design ECOs, and alternative components where appropriate.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related field.
  • Experience in board/system debug, semiconductor test, or product/FA engineering (NPI and/or HVM) strongly preferred
  • Strong understanding of digital/SoC/GPU boards, power, high-speed interfaces, and manufacturing test flows.
  • Hands-on experience with lab tools (scope, DMM, logic analyzer, JTAG, boundary scan) and factory diagnostics / MODS / burn-in / stress tests.
  • Ability to read schematics, BOMs, and layout, and correlate to failure signatures.
  • Comfortable with Linux command line, scripting (e.g., Python/Perl), and remote lab access tools for automation and data extraction.
  • Soft Skills
  • Strong root-cause thinking, able to design experiments that separate board vs. silicon vs. test vs. process issues.
  • Clear written and verbal communication for cross-site teams, including concise FA summaries for executives and design owners.
  • Ability to manage multiple FA tasks in parallel, prioritize by yield/customer impact, and work closely with CMs under tight build schedules.
