Requirements
8+ years of professional experience in hardware product development, sustainment, or manufacturing engineering
Experience with root cause analysis and structured problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D, 5 Whys, fishbone, FMEA)
Deep understanding of fabrication and assembly-level failure analysis methods, including CT scan, X-ray, visual inspection, cross-sectioning, and SEM image analysis
Ability to read and interpret schematics and apply best practices appropriate for each design
Familiarity with standard interfaces such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and USB
Proficiency with data analysis tools to track failure trends and quantify population impact (e.g., Excel, SQL, Python, JMP)
Responsibilities
In this role, you will keep our production operations running smoothly once products are in the field and on the line.
You will triage product failures, drive root cause investigations to closure through process or design updates, and manage failure and field data to understand population-level impact.
You will work cross-functionally with Quality, Supply Chain, and Production Operations to keep builds on plan and surface any issues that threaten the build schedule. Your work directly ensures that the capabilities our customers depend on are delivered reliably and at scale, sustaining fielded systems long after they leave the line.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role for an engineer who thrives on solving hard problems quickly and turning production challenges into lasting design and process improvements.
Triage product failures from production and the field, prioritizing by severity and population impact
Drive root cause investigations down to the electrical component and PCB fabrication level as needed, landing corrective actions as process or design updates
