• Collaborate cross-functionally with Device, Design, Reliability, and Product/Test Engineering teams to design and execute bench experiments.
• Interface with wafer fabrication teams to drive Sort and Wafer-Level Reliability (WLR) Design of Experiments (DOEs).
• Conduct comprehensive data analysis to identify and communicate trade-offs across multiple parameters of interest.
• Build predictive models for NAND behavior based on empirically observed data.
• Develop and maintain scorecards to track NAND device degradation through various physical mechanisms over time.
• Release optimized trims to the production flow on a regular cadence to ensure continuous product improvement.
• Drive improvements in back-end test yields through trim optimization and advanced screening techniques.

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or a closely related field.
• 3+ years of industry experience in semiconductor memory technologies and products.
• Deep understanding of NAND cell and array operations, including array reliability physical mechanisms and characterization techniques.
• Strong foundation in semiconductor device physics and process flows.
• Proficiency in statistical analysis methodologies and tools.
• Hands-on programming experience in C, C++, Python, and/or JMP.
• Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences., * Experience with 3D NAND architecture and advanced memory scaling challenges.
• Familiarity with wafer fab processes and Sort/WLR test methodologies.
• Track record of releasing trims or process improvements to high-volume manufacturing.
• Experience with machine learning or advanced modeling techniques for semiconductor data.
