Failure Analysis Engineer

NVIDIA is looking for a FA engineer to join its Qualification engineering team and to be a player in the HW Systems group.Evaluate electrical, and mechanical characteristics of integrated circuits, components, sub-components and systems to resolve root cause of failure. Support new process and technologies. Conduct innovative use of new analytical tools, equipment and methodologies. Develop, record and perform various investigations on systems and components to identify root cause. Develop formal failure analysis report data and findings of complaint and other groups after analysis completion. Maintain and coordinate calibration of analysis equipment. This job for someone who loves finding out why things break, someone who can work with process and product engineers, FA technicians and outside vendors to find the right tool to answer the questions at hand.
