This is an exciting time to be at Intel!  Come join Intels NAND Design Technology and Manufacturing (NAND-DTM) Group and work on one of the most advanced 3DNAND and SSD technology portfolios in the world.   As a global leader in the semiconductor industry, Intel possesses many industry leading SSD technologies including the most capable Quadruple Level Cell QLC NAND Flash products. 

Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Conduct electrical and physical fault isolation of 3D NAND devices with tester, parametric analyzer, mechanical probing and various fault isolation tools for design debug, low yield analysis, reliability test failure and customer returns.
- Work with lab technicians to prepare devices to meet desired fault isolation requirement and assist failure analysis processes to locate physical defect.
- Validate the link between the identified physical defect and the original failure mode.
- Communicate with stakeholders on the progress and publish analysis report promptly.
- Evaluate existing fault isolation and failure analysis (FIFA) capabilities to identify gaps for future products support.
- Lead and drive new FIFA capability development to minimize the risk.

The position is associated with the sale of the NAND business to SK Hynix aligning to Phase 2 of the transaction. Employees aligned to Phase 2 will continue to be employed by Intel developing NAND technology and components. Phase 2 of the transaction is expected to close in March 2025 at which time employees aligned to this phase of the transaction will transition employment to Solidigm, a stand-alone US subsidiary of SK Hynix headquartered in San Jose, California with offices world-wide. Solidigm is a leading global supplier of NAND flash memory solutions, led by Robert (Rob) B. Crooke as CEO, previously senior vice president and general manager of Intels Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group.
