ASIC Failure Analysis Engineer Hybrid

Cisco is seeking a Failure Analysis Engineer to join its Quality and Reliability group in San Jose, California. This hybrid role involves approximately three days in the office and focuses on performing failure analysis of ASIC products. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in semiconductor failure analysis and a passion for problem-solving.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct root cause failure analysis of silicon product reliability test and field failures, proposing corrective actions.
• Develop and implement standard processes for failure analysis using various FA equipment.
• Coordinate logistics and instructions to direct the failure analysis process systematically.
• Document and report failure analysis results to management.
• Serve as a technical resource for failure analysis inquiries.
• Develop and maintain relationships with FA service and equipment vendors.
• Interface with product, test, and design engineering groups to identify and characterize faults on emerging technologies.

Qualifications:
