  • Analyse and manage large and diverse datasets from reliability tests, presenting distilled insights and constructive recommendations.
  • Develop and implement advanced characterization and failure analysis methodologies to improve device performance and reliability of Si and III-V semiconductor devices.
  • Collaborate with academic/research institutions and industry partners to enhance understanding of failure mechanisms in Si and III-V semiconductor devices.
  • Prepare reports and presentations for project updates.
  • Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
  • Provide mentorship to undergraduate/postgraduate students in research activities.
  • Assist in research proposal writing.
  • Support in lab management matters, including lab safety, equipment maintenance, procurement of materials.
Job Requirements:
  • A PhD in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • At least 8 years of research experience after PhD.
  • At least 4 years of experience with Si or III-V semiconductor device failure analysis and reliability testing.
  • Strong knowledge of Si/III-V semiconductor device physics, particularly fabrication processes, is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with advanced failure analysis techniques, such as wet/plasma etching and analytical tools (e.g., SEM, FIB-SEM, TEM, PEM, and AFM).
  • Hands-on experience with electrical device characterization and/or accelerated stressing.
  • Ability to prepare detailed technical reports and presentations, confidently defending data analysis and conclusions during technical discussions.
  • Ability to build rapport and influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Self-driven and capable of meeting deadlines with high-quality outcomes.
