Responsibilities

• Perform board-level reliability testing and functional validation.
• Set up and operate electrical and mechanical test systems.
• Conduct Physical Failure Analysis (PFA) investigations.
• Perform CSAM and X-ray analysis to identify defects and failure mechanisms.
• Execute reliability qualification and validation testing.
• Perform root cause analysis and failure investigations.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts for test execution.
• Analyze reliability data and prepare technical reports.
• Support lab operations, calibration, equipment maintenance, and materials management.
• Collaborate with hardware, manufacturing, and quality teams to improve product reliability.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• 3–5 years of experience in electronics reliability or failure analysis.
• Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles.
• Hands-on experience with PFA, CSAM, and X-ray inspection.
• Experience with board-level testing and validation.
• Knowledge of VLSI board design environments.
• Familiarity with Linux, Windows, and CentOS.
• Basic scripting or automation experience.
• Experience using oscilloscopes, multimeters, curve tracers, and lab equipment.
• Strong root cause analysis and problem-solving skills.
