Sr. DRAM Applications Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled DRAM Applications Engineer with expertise in high-performance, high-capacity DRAM modules to join our team. This role involves working closely with customers, R&D, and test engineering teams to optimize the performance, reliability, and interoperability of high-performance DRAM modules.

As a key technical expert, you will analyze customer issues, conduct in-depth failure analysis, and optimize stress test methodologies to improve DRAM module performance and quality.

Responsibilities

• Act as the technical liaison between customers and internal teams for DRAM module applications, reliability, and failure analysis.
• Develop and implement stress test strategies for high-performance DRAM modules.
• Perform failure analysis (FA) and root cause investigations for customer-reported issues, RMA returns, and system-level failures.
• Debug memory training failures, DIMM timing margin issues, and memory controller interactions in high-speed computing environments.
• Collaborate with R&D to investigate intermittent failures and memory errors caused by power integrity (PI), signal integrity (SI), and thermal stress.
• Provide technical support to customers, including on-site debugging, system-level failure analysis, and troubleshooting of DRAM module integration issues.
• Work with ATE (Automated Test Equipment) and their manufacturers to validate high-speed memory interfaces.
• Utilize industry standard failure analysis techniques to determine failure root causes at the chip and module level.
• Generate detailed reports (8D) and presentations summarizing failure analysis findings, root causes, and recommendations for product and process improvements.
