  • Perform and interpret CT X-ray and 2D X-ray analysis (VGStudio experience preferred)
  • Perform FTIR analysis and interpret results
  • Perform Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and interpret results
  • Disassemble Devices Under Test (DUTs) and perform systematic fault isolation
  • Set up and scale a hardware failure analysis laboratory, including equipment selection and workflows
  • Triage failures and develop clear Failure Analysis (FA) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
  • Work cross-functionally with design, reliability, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams to identify root causes of hardware failures
  • Drive component-level hardware failure analysis at supplier and vendor sites
  • Onboard and manage relationships with external failure analysis labs
  • Coordinate external FA requests and critically review and interpret third-party analysis results
  • Communicate findings, root causes, and recommendations through written reports and technical reviews

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in hardware failure analysis within automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace, robotics, or similar industries
  • Strong hands-on understanding of mechanical cross sectioning techniques
  • Working knowledge of optical microscopy, SEM/EDS, CT X-ray, FTIR, and Confocal Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (CSAM)
  • Advanced understanding of failure concepts and mechanisms, including fatigue, ductile vs. brittle fracture, adhesive vs. cohesive failure, contamination, intermetallic compounds, and corrosion
  • Demonstrated ability to independently drive complex failure investigations
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to clearly present technical findings

Nice to have:

  • Experience with chemical and metallographic etching techniques
  • Experience with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)
  • Experience with Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA)
  • Experience with Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC)
  • Experience with mechanical testing equipment such as Instron and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
  • Experience building or scaling a hardware failure analysis laboratory from the ground up
