**Failure Analysis Engineer**:
**Position Summary**:
**Key Responsibilities**:
**Failure Analysis & Investigation**:
- Perform detailed electrical, mechanical, and material-level investigations to determine root causes of component or system failures.
- Use analytical tools such as **X‐Ray, SEM/EDS, SAM, Optical Microscopy, FTIR, XRF, TDR, oscilloscopes, and curve tracers**.
- Conduct destructive and non-destructive testing of electronic components, PCBs, and assemblies.
- Develop comprehensive FA reports with clear findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
**Root Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA)**:
- Utilize methodologies such as **5 Why, Fishbone, 8D, FMEA** to drive structured problem-solving.
- Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams to implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Support product reliability improvement initiatives through trend analysis and risk identification.
**Product & Process Support**:
- Provide FA support for **customer returns (RMA), production issues, reliability testing, and new product introduction (NPI)**.
- Analyze failure trends and communicate findings to cross‐functional teams for continuous improvement.




- Work closely with suppliers to address component‐level defects or process issues.
**Documentation & Communication**:
- Create and maintain detailed documentation of FA procedures, test results, and recommendations.
- Present findings to engineering teams, leadership, and customers as needed.
