Failure Analysis Engineer - New Grad

Responsibilities

• Responsible for functionality testing and failure analysis of returned products (RMA) in local market.
• Utilize precision instruments (oscilloscope, multimeter, Bluetooth tester, microscope, etc.) and fault detection tools, along with software apps, to reproduce failures and perform preliminary component‑level failure localization.
• Conduct product disassembly and physical diagnostics (e.g., solder joint inspection, component stress testing) to identify root causes of failure (such as component aging, design defects, or environmental stress anomalies).
• Work closely with R&D and quality teams in China, providing failure analysis data support to drive production improvements, design enhancements, and process optimizations.
• Participate in failure analysis technical meetings between China and the local region, ensuring a clear and structured problem transmission process.
• Contribute to the internal knowledge base by producing standardized failure analysis reports, documenting key failure modes and root causes.
• Maintain and refine the failure analysis knowledge database, ensuring continuous improvement in failure characteristics identification and corrective actions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Materials Science, or Mechanical Engineering.
• Bilingual in English and Chinese preferred.
• Candidates with internship experience in electronic product failure analysis are preferred.
• Proficiency in using testing equipment (oscilloscope, multimeter, load tester, etc.).
• Familiarity with basic soldering techniques and assembly/disassembly of electronic products.
• Ability to follow SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and use diagnostic apps and tools to set up failure analysis environments and execute test plans.
• Ability to apply 5Why or FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) methodologies for troubleshooting.
• Comfortable working across time zones and participating in virtual meetings with the team based in China (about 2 times per week).
