• Conduct comprehensive, in-depth failure analysis on products and samples in response to customer issues and internal investigations, generating detailed reports with actionable recommendations for product and process improvements.

• Drive the enhancement of our FA capabilities by evaluating, developing, and implementing new procedures, analytical tools, and innovative methods.

• Analyze defect trends from failure analysis data and collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement effective corrective and preventive actions.

• Manage the annual budget for the FA Laboratory, including planning expenditures and providing regular status reports.

• Develop and maintain training materials to enhance the technical knowledge and competency of FA personnel.

• Effectively interact with global counterparts at Allegro to align on failure analysis issues and best practices.

• Coordinate with external subcontractors for analysis capabilities that are beyond our internal scope.

• Ensure all FA laboratory equipment is maintained through a robust preventative maintenance and calibration schedule.

• Uphold and implement all Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) guidelines within the laboratory.

Who You Are

• You have a degree in Chemical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, or a related engineering field.

• You bring proven experience from the semiconductor industry, with a strong background in failure analysis techniques.

• You possess excellent leadership qualities with the ability to build and manage a high-performing team.

• You are a natural problem-solver with strong analytical skills and an organized, methodical approach.

• You have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively under pressure.

• You are proficient with standard computer applications and have hands-on experience operating FA laboratory equipment.

• Required Training & Knowledge: Familiarity with 8D / Problem Solving Techniques, QC Tools, and Quality Management Systems (QMS / EHSMS / ISO/IATF 16949) is essential. The successful candidate will also complete training in Radiation, Laser, and Chemical Safety.
