• Direct knowledge of one or more analysis methodologies used in failure analysis for state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing
• Chemical Analysis Technician Desired Education, Knowledge, And Experience

More postings now expect FIB and TEM experience, and how postings phrase the qualification bar shows how that bar has moved.

• Recognized as an expert on one or more analytical instruments and protocols.
• Able to recommend, evaluate, and set up new instrumentation.
• Experience in mentoring and training laboratory personnel.
• Expert knowledge of routine chemical laboratory procedures, equipment, and chemical nomenclature.
• Ability to perform advanced, non-standard lab practices (titration, purification, etc.).
• Ability to design experiments (DOE) and working knowledge of chemical synthesis.
• Ability to make effective written and verbal presentations to multiple levels.
• Positive attitude and team player and excellent attention to detail.
