FA engineer

Job Description We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Electrical Failure Analysis Engineer to support failure analysis activities for customer returns, production fallout, and product reliability improvement. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to identify failure mechanisms, determine root causes, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions. Key Responsibilities • Perform detailed electrical failure analysis on RMA (Return Material Authorization) units and internal production fallout units to identify failure mechanisms and potential root causes. • Conduct systematic root cause analysis using engineering and quality methodologies such as 5 Why, Fishbone Analysis, and 8D , and collaborate with relevant engineering teams to develop corrective and preventive solutions. • Prepare comprehensive failure analysis (FA) reports documenting test results, findings, root cause, conclusions, and recommended corrective actions within the agreed turnaround time (TAT). • Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Design, and other cross-functional teams to resolve product issues and drive continuous improvement in product quality and reliability. • Participate in customer technical discussions related to product failures, failure mechanisms, corrective actions, and product reliability when required. • Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot failure analysis equipment , ensuring all equipment is properly calibrated, functional, and maintained according to applicable procedures. • Support the development and improvement of failure analysis methodologies, test procedures, and troubleshooting techniques to improve analysis efficiency and accuracy. • Maintain proper documentation of failure analysis activities, test data, equipment conditions, and corrective actions. Job Requirements Education & Experience • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Optoelectronics, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. • 2–5+ years of experience in technical support, applications engineering, failure analysis, product engineering, semiconductor, electronics, or a related field. Fresh graduates are also encouraged to apply. • Basic knowledge of optical devices, optical components, and their operating principles will be an added advantage. Technical Skills • Strong understanding of electronic systems, embedded systems, semiconductor products, and electronic circuits . • Hands-on experience with failure analysis and electronic test equipment, such as: • Digital Communication Analyzer (DCA) • Curve Tracer • Oscilloscope • Digital Multimeter (DMM) • LCR Meter • High- and low-magnification microscopes • Other electrical and optical failure analysis equipment • Strong ability to read, interpret, and troubleshoot electrical circuit diagrams and schematics . • Good understanding of electronics troubleshooting and failure analysis methodologies . • Familiarity with quality and statistical tools such as SPC, FMEA, JMP, and 8D . Soft Skills • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills , with a structured approach to identifying root causes. • Good communication, presentation, documentation, and technical report-writing skills . • Able to work independently with minimal supervision while also collaborating effectively with cross-functional support teams. • Proactive, detail-oriented, and willing to learn new technologies, tools, and failure analysis techniques.
