Responsibilities

• Conduct failure analysis on field failures at the component and system level.
• Provide engineering guidance to failure analysis on customer returns and manufacturing rejects.
• Use your prior experience in debugging devices, along with critical thinking to narrow down failures to their root cause.
• Design experiments to test theories and recreate failure modes.
• Trace defects to the manufacturing processes or design issues.
• Track defects, compile data, and statistically analyze results to identify potential failures before they become widespread.
• Understand how human factors affect potential issues in running tests.
• Report on your findings on failures and proposed mitigations to manufacturing and design teams.
• Work with the quality team to streamline the reporting and analysis of failures.
• Travel to supplier’s manufacturing sites, as needed

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 4-6 years of experience in engineering.
• Familiarity with injection molding and the manufacturing of consumer devices.
• Experience in troubleshooting electronics.
• Understanding of Good Manufacturing Processes.
• Familiarity with precision measurement and inspection equipment, along with microscopy.
• Experience employing root cause analysis techniques such as 6-Sigma to diagnose failures.
