Primary Responsibilities:

• Work with quality engineers, supplier engineers and suppliers to monitor products performance, identify trending issues. Prioritize based on Severity, occurrence, and/or cost of each failure modes.

• Detailed failure analysis, identifying root-cause of problems – Perform board-level debugging to isolate faults for physical FA.

• Apply knowledge of electrical engineering and PCBA manufacturing to drive containment and corrective action implementation into production / design / supplier / Firmware.

• Participate in continuous improvement activities and take preventive actions.

• Share Lessons Learned from previous field issues; Provide upfront feedback by participating in design reviews to ensure product performance, reliability, and manufacturability issues are identified and risks mitigated. (DFMEAs)

• Take part in ongoing optimization of the products and processes (performance, cost, technology).
