Failure Analysis Engineer

Position Summary

The Failure Analysis Engineer (FAE) is responsible for investigating, analyzing, and identifying root causes of failures in electronic assemblies, systems, and components used in high-performance computing, server, and AI-related hardware products. This role supports continuous improvement and product reliability initiatives through data-driven analysis, cross-functional collaboration, and corrective action implementation. The FAE will leverage advanced diagnostic tools and methods to enhance product quality, manufacturing yields, and customer satisfaction

Supervisory Responsibilities

  • May oversee FA Technicians and provide technical guidance and training.
  • Coordinates project assignments and ensures timely completion of analysis reports.

Key Responsibilities

Failure Analysis and Root Cause Investigation

  • Perform electrical, mechanical, and thermal failure analysis on defective units from production, field returns (RMA), and reliability testing.
  • Utilize analytical tools such as oscilloscopes, X-ray, SEM/EDS, decapsulation, and cross-sectioning for detailed investigation.
  • Identify failure modes, document analysis results, and establish root cause and contributing factors.
  • Correlate failures with design, process, and material data to support engineering improvements.

Data Collection and Reporting

  • Maintain detailed FA reports, including findings, corrective actions, and risk assessments.
  • Present analysis summaries to internal engineering, manufacturing, and customer teams.
  • Compile trend data on recurring failure modes and propose mitigation actions.
  • Track metrics on failure rates, mean time between failure (MTBF), and reliability indicators.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with manufacturing, R&D, and quality engineering teams to drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
  • Support supplier quality teams in component failure validation and incoming inspection processes.
  • Coordinate with customer support and warranty analysis teams on field failure investigations.

Process and Product Improvement

  • Participate in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Reliability (DfR) reviews.
  • Recommend design or process modifications to reduce defect rates and improve overall product robustness.
  • Contribute to process control documentation and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Compliance and Safety

  • Ensure all FA activities comply with ESD, ISO, and environmental standards (e.g., RoHS, REACH).
  • Maintain lab equipment calibration and safe operating practices.

Qualifications

Education:

  • Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field required.
  • Masters degree or equivalent experience in Reliability Engineering, Failure Analysis, or Quality Engineering preferred.

Experience:

  • 3–5 years of experience in failure analysis or reliability engineering within electronics, semiconductor, or high-tech manufacturing industries.
  • Experience with AI server systems, GPU boards, or data center hardware is a plus.

Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency with diagnostic equipment (oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyzer, X-ray, SEM, FIB, etc.)
  • Knowledge of SMT manufacturing, solder joint analysis, and IPC standards.
  • Familiarity with reliability testing (HALT, HASS, thermal cycling, vibration testing).
  • Experience with data analysis tools (Python, JMP, Minitab, Excel).
  • Ability to interpret schematics, layout drawings, and bill of materials (BOM).

Core Competencies

  • Analytical Thinking: Strong ability to dissect complex problems and identify root causes.
  • Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of electrical/electronic systems, PCB design, and semiconductor behavior.
  • Collaboration: Works effectively with multidisciplinary teams to solve technical challenges.
  • Communication: Ability to write clear, data-supported reports and present findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Continuous Improvement: Passion for enhancing product reliability and manufacturing efficiency

Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Failure Analysis Turnaround Time (TAT)
  • Root Cause Accuracy and Verification Rate
  • Corrective Action Implementation Effectiveness
  • Reduction in Recurrence Rate of Failures
  • Customer Satisfaction (internal/external) with FA deliverables

Working Conditions

  • Exposure to electronics lab environments (ESD-safe areas, microscopes, soldering stations).
  • Occasional travel to suppliers, customer sites, or corporate headquarters (domestic/international).
  • Normal working hours with flexibility to support urgent FA cases and project deadlines.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
