As a Failure Analysis Engineer, you will play a key role in investigating production and product-related failures within a high-tech electronics manufacturing environment.
You will be responsible for identifying root causes of failures on PCB and PCBA level, supporting troubleshooting activities, and improving overall product reliability and manufacturing quality.
This role combines:
- Failure analysis
- Test engineering
- Quality investigations
- Debugging and diagnostics
- Continuous improvement
You will work closely with teams across:
- Production
- Test engineering
- Quality
- Manufacturing engineering
- R&D / hardware engineering
The ideal candidate enjoys solving complex technical problems and thrives in a hands-on engineering environment where no two days are the same.
Responsibilities
- Perform detailed failure and defect analysis on electronic assemblies, PCBAs, and hardware systems
- Investigate production and test failures using structured root cause analysis methodologies
- Troubleshoot hardware and electronics-related issues in manufacturing and test environments
- Analyze defects found during:
o AOI inspections
o ICT/FCT testing
o Production validation
o Quality investigations
- Support debugging activities on component and system level
- Collaborate with engineering and production teams to improve product quality and test coverage
- Validate and optimize inspection and test processes
- Support implementation and improvement of inspection programs and test procedures
- Identify recurring failure patterns and propose corrective/preventive actions
- Document findings, technical analyses, and improvement recommendations
- Support continuous improvement initiatives related to manufacturing quality and reliability
