Position: Failure Analysis Manager (Job ID: 20438)

  • Pioneer
  • Basic + AWS + VB

Job Description:

Seeking a highly technical and strategic Failure Analysis Manager to lead our diagnostics and rootcause investigations. As the Failure Analysis Manager, you will lead a team of engineers and technicians dedicated to identifying the root causes of media-level failures. You will oversee the transition from "symptom detection" to "physical root cause," bridging the gap between yield losses and field returns. Your insights will directly influence process engineering, R&D, and quality assurance. This role is also pivotal in bridging the gap between media manufacturing processes and Hard Disk Drive (HDD) system performance.

  • Manage and mentor a specialized team of FA engineers; oversee lab operations, including equipment maintenance and safety protocols.
  • Lead deep-dive investigations into media defects such as protrusions, pits, scratches, lubricant migration, and corrosion including their impact on drive-level reliability.
  • Oversee the use of high-end analytical tools to characterize defects at the atomic and magnetic levels.
  • Partner with Media Process Development teams to correlate FA findings with process variables. Also act as technical bridge between Media teams and HDD Integration/Customer Quality teams.
  • Translate complex microscopic and chemical data into actionable executive summaries to drive both media and HDD yield improvement and product roadmap

Job Requirements:

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years in the HDD industry, with at least 3 years in a leadership or managerial capacity.
  • Demonstrated expertise in 8D, FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and ability to pursue a root cause when initial scans are inconclusive.
  • Knowledge of media manufacturing processes, thin-film deposition (sputtering), carbon overcoats, lubricant chemistry, and substrate topography.
  • Expert-level knowledge of advance analytical tool like SEM/EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy / Energy Dispersive X-ray), FIB (Focused Ion Beam), AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), Optical Surface Profilometry (OSA Candela, Zygo etc).
  • Understanding of HDD Channel Physics, Servo Systems, Head-Disk Interface (HDI), magnetic recording physics (PMR/HAMR), and the characteristics of glass and aluminum substrates.
  • Experience in JMP, Minitab, or Python for statistical analysis and defect mapping

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.
