As a Failure Analysis Engineer, you will be responsible for diagnosing and analyzing functional failures in highly complex electronic assemblies throughout the product lifecycle. You will provide expert technical support to Contract Manufacturers during production and test phases, ensuring rapid resolution of manufacturing-related failures.
Key responsibilities:
- Diagnose and analyze functional failures in highly complex electronic assemblies
- Provide expert technical support to Contract Manufacturers during production and test phases
- Collaborate closely with R&D teams to root-cause prototype and pre-production issues
- Perform hands-on failure analysis, including hardware manipulation, measurement, mounting/demounting, and rework of assemblies
- Utilize laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies) to characterize failures and confirm hypotheses
- Leverage Linux-based environments and develop/maintain Tcl scripts to automate tests, extract data, reproduce failures, and support diagnostics
- Document analysis results, root causes, and corrective actions clearly and thoroughly
- Interface with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Field Service) to drive timely and aligned issue resolution
- Identify recurring failure patterns and propose continuous improvements to design, process, or test methodologies
- Ensure compliance with internal procedures, quality requirements, and relevant industrial standards
Requirements:
- Engineering degree in Electronics (mandatory)
- Minimum 5 years of experience in failure analysis, hardware debugging, electronics design, manufacturing support, or related technical role
- Deep expertise in complex electronic assemblies, including mixed-signal, digital, analog, and power electronics
- Strong system-level understanding of mechanical integration, power management, and thermal impacts on electronics reliability
- Hands-on proficiency with laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies)
- Solid experience working in Linux environments for analysis, data extraction, and debugging
- Proven ability to develop and deploy Tcl scripts for test automation and diagnostics
- Fluency in both French and English (spoken and written); German language skills are a plus
