Responsibilities

  • Triage product failures from production and the field, prioritizing by severity and population impact
  • Drive root cause investigations down to the electrical component and PCB fabrication level as needed, landing corrective actions as process or design updates
  • Collect, manage, and analyze failure and field data to quantify population-level impact and trends
  • Work cross-functionally with Quality, Supply Chain, and Production Operations to keep builds on plan
  • Surface and escalate issues that threaten the build schedule, and drive them to resolution
  • Implement design and process changes that improve yield, reliability, and manufacturability
  • Evaluate supplier product change notifications (PCNs) and assess their impact to the production environment, partnering with the design team to update the design as needed
  • Support production test, debug, and failure analysis at the board and system level
  • Track and report on sustainment metrics, corrective action status, and open production issues
  • Work in a fast-paced environment, juggling multiple concurrent projects and customers

  • Deep understanding of fabrication and assembly-level failure analysis methods, including CT scan, X-ray, visual inspection, cross-sectioning, and SEM image analysis
  • Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices appropriate for each design
  • Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB
  • Proficiency with data analysis tools to track failure trends and quantify population impact (e.g., Excel, SQL, Python, JMP)
  • Knowledge of modern analog and digital electronics and electronic circuits
  • Ability to determine work priorities based on broad direction from management
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Quality, Supply Chain, and Production Operations in a manufacturing environment
