POSITION SUMMARY:
The Failure Analysis (FA) engineer supports the Failure Analysis Engineering function by conducting product process reviews and enhancing and developing analysis methods to monitor field quality data for accuracy and consistency.
Performs engineering work in basic and applied research, development, and design of new products and/or sustaining existing products. Provides support to factory and design, giving useful feedback to help solve failures, acting as a bridge between supplier, design, and factory.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Designs, modifies, and evaluates electronic apparatus components or circuitry for use in electronic equipment and devices.
Creates, modifies, sustains, and maintains software for testing. Verifies and improves test coverage.
Designs and modifies the test fixture to meet and improve product quality and decrease operational costs by detecting (CA/PA) failures as early as possible.
Designs power supply circuits based on previously used topologies to meet specific parameters, including loop stability, magnetic design, and worst-case component analysis.
Understands new product release and engineering change procedures to support products during and after their transition into manufacturing.
Participates in yield and continuous improvement actions.
Provides product test field failure analysis support. Performs simulation and evaluation, duplicates failures detected in the field, and provides Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA).
Supports customer field failure analysis. Attends customer meetings to present failure analysis findings/root causes and provide effective RCCA and related preventative actions.
Responsible for coordinating and delivering daily Failure Analysis Work In Progress (WIP) turnaround for daily production fulfillment, including Top-Level Assembly (TLA) and In Source Sub Assembly.
Oversees a group of technicians, coordinating Failure Analysis output based on customer demand. Provides training to FA technicians to ensure competence in the allocated Product Platform.
Establishes and maintains a Failure Analysis data pool, generating and enhancing Failure Analysis guidelines to improve productivity and accuracy. Drives yield improvement with various departments such as Production/Hybrid/Test/Process/SQE/Quality.
Communicates with the Product Development/Engineering team regarding any unknown or hardcore failures for resolution within the shortest time.
Acts as a core player in New Product Introduction (NPI) and new derivative part number introduction, conducting Failure Analysis for unknown technical issues and communicating with Product Development/Engineering teams for resolution.
Provides disposition of defective parts in Material Review Board (MRB) meetings, making engineering decisions for Rework, Return to Vendor (RTV), and Scrap with engineering data support.
Serves as custodian for FA Non-Netting Inventory, responsible for inventory accuracy and performing periodic inventory counts upon request from the Inventory Team.
Adheres to organizational requirements on quality management, health and safety, code of conduct, legal stipulations, environmental policies, 5S policies, and general duty of care.
Performs other duties as assigned.
WORK ENVIRONMENT:

Troubleshoots high voltage power supplies.
Operates sampling and real-time oscilloscopes, pulse generators, meters, power supplies, and special test fixtures.
Overtime may be necessary in times of increased demand.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Proficient knowledge and troubleshooting skills in electronic circuits, components, PCBs, and manufacturing processes.
Strong knowledge in the physical structure, properties, and behavior of engineering materials to identify primary modes of failure for electrical components, PCBs, and assemblies.
Effective verbal and written communication skills to clearly convey factual learnings.
Ability to handle moderately complex engineering assignments.
Ability to exercise good judgment to resolve problems.
Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Ability to lead and coach junior failure analysis engineers.
