Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the Failure Analysis (FA) Lab and customer-returned product investigations.
• Perform hands-on RF testing and module-level failure analysis using production test equipment.
• Execute Tx/Rx RF test suites, firmware flashing, and validation testing to reproduce and verify failures.
• Conduct systematic failure triage, classify failure modes, and document findings.
• Isolate faults at the module, PCB, or component level to determine root cause.
• Prepare clear, accurate Failure Analysis Reports (FARs) for customers.
• Serve as the primary technical contact for customer failure analysis cases and provide regular investigation updates.
• Collaborate with Design, Systems, Firmware, Hardware, Radio, and Validation teams to drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Maintain complete investigation records, test results, and technical documentation in Jira and Confluence.

• Review reliability and qualification data and support supplier/OSAT quality activities when required.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in Failure Analysis, Product Engineering, Quality Engineering, or RF Test Engineering within the semiconductor or wireless industry.
• Hands-on experience with RF production testing using LitePoint IQxel or equivalent RF test equipment.
• Experience performing module-level failure analysis, troubleshooting, and root cause investigations.
• Knowledge of RF measurements such as Tx Power, EVM, PER, SEM, frequency error, and receiver sensitivity.
• Experience flashing firmware and executing validation or regression testing.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor products, PCB-level troubleshooting, and electronic test equipment.
• Experience using Jira and Confluence for investigation tracking and technical documentation.
• Excellent technical report writing and customer communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with global cross-functional engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi HaLow (IEEE 802.11ah), or other wireless communication technologies.
• Familiarity with Manufacturing Test Frameworks (MFT) or automated production test environments.
• Understanding of JEDEC reliability standards and qualification testing.
• Experience working with OSATs, contract manufacturers, or supplier quality.
• Experience in a fabless semiconductor company is highly desirable.
