Description
As a Failure Analysis (Application Engineer), you will be a primary operator of the novel quantum diamond microscopy tools developed at QuantumDiamonds. You will work hands-on with a continuous stream of customer samples from major chip companies- either shipped to our lab or brought in during on-site visits- to demonstrate the device capabilities in real-world failure analysis scenarios.
Your day-to-day will include running measurements, preparing clear and professional customer reports, and contributing to application notes that highlight how our technology solves critical semiconductor challenges. As the main user of the device, your operational feedback will help shape product improvements.
If you have a strong background in semiconductor testing, using methods such as OBIRCH, Lock-in Thermography, LIVA/TIVA/XIVA, we want to hear from you.
What is expected of you
- Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field
- Relevant hands-on experience in the semiconductor testing industry (1-2+ years), preferably operating laser-based systems.
- You are a high achiever who thrives in a fast-paced environment where things get done
- You are collaborative, team-oriented, and a problem-solver passionate about making an impact
The following are considered strong assets:- Experience in using EFA tools such as OBIRCH and LIT
- Experience with laser optics
- Good understanding of semiconductor device failure modes in practice
- Sample preparation experience (de-capsulation, wire-bonding etc.) is a plus
Our benefits
- Company ownership
- Free lunch and beverages in our office in the cool Werksviertel Munich neighborhood
- Sport membership via Well Pass
- Relocation package including accommodation for the first few months
- Mobile phone and laptop
- Flexible hours
