The general responsibilities of the position are the following:

NAND Probe/ Back End Testing

• Improve Probe testing coverage, quality and on NAND products
• Own the probe test flow, review and sign off probe test program release to ensure quality control
• Utilize state-of-art in house engineering equipment to support product characterization and electrical failure analysis
• Develop creative testing algorithms to improve testing efficiency

New Generation Product Development

• Responsible for new product startup and yield improvement
• Support design verification and in-depth circuit of new products using CAD tools and Verilog simulations
• Work with the wafer fab process/integration group to address process-related defects affecting product yield
• Identify design marginalities and recommend design fix for circuit-related problems

Functional and Design Validation

• Design novel test algorithms and develop test programs for validating NAND features and commands
• Use high-speed tester hardware to perform validation of new NAND devices
• Analysis of failures generated from the evaluations
• Automation of program development and work processes using scripting

Product Yield Enhancement

• Identify causes of low yield through systematic analysis
• Work closely with various engineering groups in resolving process/defects related issues
• Perform electrical/physical failure analysis to understand the failure mechanism relating to defects / fab process
• Utilize statistical tools for detailed data analysis on product to drive yield improvement projects

Managed NAND (MNAND) Products

• Develop high quality and cost-efficient MNAND test strategies
• Understand 3D NAND defect mechanisms and MNAND system error recovery features
• Collaborate with test engineering teams to define and secure necessary test fixtures for memory and system testing
• Conduct electrical failure analysis of the MNAND products through different phases of the product life cycling such as qualification, high volume manufacturing and customer returns.
• Extensive usage of data parsing and data analysis for improving yields, test times and quality of the products.

Solid State Drive (SSD) Firmware Validation

• Develop and maintain manufacturing Firmware for testing of SSDs.
• Build the Manufacturing FW to self-test SSDs during the development phase
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in terms of test coverage through optimization of code.
• Ensure SSD are tested to meet or exceed the required functionality, usability, quality/reliability and performance with an efficient manufacturing firmware.
