As ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Process & FA Engineer within imec IC-link, you will be part of a team composed by test engineers, product & production engineers, assembly & packaging engineers, supply chain and project managers.
- You will evaluate electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics of ASICs, to determine root cause of failure.
- You will analyze failure reports and recommend corrective action to prevent reoccurrence of problems.
- You will support new processes and product transfer.
- You will work together with the other imec teams and the external subco’s to take a technical challenge from problem identification to final solution.
- The assignments are broad in nature, usually requiring initiative, originality and excellent problem-solving skills.
- The various tasks include but are not limited to:
- Drive failure analysis investigations on parts complained by customer and in house rejects.
- Plan and improve failure analysis capability and capacity continuously.
- Improve overall product quality and drive to zero customer returns.
What we do for you
We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth.
We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits.
Who you are
- Master’s degree in Electronics or Physics, preferably with 15+ years of relevant experience in process & FA engineering.
- Good knowledge of failure analysis techniques: microsectioning, FIB, SEM, SAM, Xray, Hot Spot analysis (EMMI, OBirch, liquid crystals...)
- Knowledge of the MIL STD for automotive, space, medical and industrial ASIC qualification flows is a MUST.
- Good organizational skills and the ability to work well under pressure.
- Good communication skills (English is the working language).
- Problem solving skills, risk-based decision-making skills.
- Flexible to travel (1 week/ 3months).
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
