- Conduct detailed failure analyses on vehicle systems, electrical and electronic systems, subsystems, and components for all electronic sub-assemblies within and outside the vehicles.
- Classify and consolidate the failures, identify the root-cause in collaboration with R&D, mechanical, firmware, hardware, sourcing, quality, manufacturing, and external vendors.
- Propose corrective actions, if any, that are deployable and cost-effective.
- Be responsible for vendor discussions in this regard for all off-the-shelf parts.
- Be responsible for building team competencies and knowledge base.
- Disseminate the information throughout the organization for appropriate actions on the design side.
Requirements
- Commitment
and passion towards all things engineering, in general, and electrical/electronic
engineering, in specific. Drive towards solving complex puzzles in a systematic
manner.
- Strong
work ethic, bias towards action, and readiness to be outside own’s comfort
zone.
- Strong
understanding in electrical and electronics engineering.
- Strong
understanding in failure modes of electrical/electronic components, and can
differentiate between electrical, thermal, mechanical overstress.
- Shall
understand component ageing, impact of inappropriate storage, and other
abnormal failure causes.
- Knowledge
of methods, techniques, technologies available for in-depth investigation of
failures.
- Knowledge
of mass-assembly processes such as those of PCBAs and box builds.
- Basic
understanding of materials and their properties, affinities and compatibilities.
- Create
documentation related to FA and disseminate in appropriate manner to all
relevant teams.
- Perform
and support, as needed, root-cause analyses and deploy corrective actions at
R&D, manufacturing, and at site.
