The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Failure Analysis Engineer – Electronics to lead root-cause investigation of returned electronic/electrical products (RMA) across our global portfolio. You’ll diagnose complex hardware failures at board, circuit, and component level — and translate findings into improvements in design, manufacturing, and component quality, while helping build our AI-enabled diagnostic capabilities.
What You’ll Do
- Own RMA failure analysis from initial diagnosis through root-cause identification and closure
- Perform board-, circuit-, and component-level troubleshooting using functional testing, signal/waveform analysis, and electrical characterization
- Diagnose power architecture failures: Buck/Boost converters, LDOs, PMUs, SoCs, charging ICs
- Troubleshoot digital interfaces/protocols: I2C, SPI, I2S, PCIe, UART, CAN
- Use oscilloscopes, multimeters, electronic loads, logic analyzers, CAN tools, X-ray, and thermal imaging to identify electrical, soldering, EMC, ESD, and component failures
- Apply structured root-cause methods (8D, 5 Whys, FTA, Fishbone, DOE); recommend corrective and preventive actions
- Collaborate with R&D, Quality, Manufacturing, and Supplier Quality globally
- Produce standardized English failure analysis reports; build failure case libraries and diagnostic standards
- Support AI-enabled diagnostic tools by translating failure patterns into structured knowledge
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, or related (Master’s preferred)
- 8+ years in electronics/hardware failure analysis, product quality, or sustaining engineering
- Strong knowledge of PCBA design, components, circuit behavior, and common electronic failure mechanisms
- Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, multimeters, electronic loads, logic analyzers, X-ray, and thermal imaging
- Experience writing 8D reports and managing CAPA to closure
- Strong English technical writing; ability to collaborate with global teams
- Mandarin Chinese proficiency is required — this role involves close collaboration with our R&D and Quality teams in China
- Plus: consumer electronics/IoT/automotive/robotics experience, AI/ML in engineering workflows, cross-functional leadership
