Responsibilities
- Characterize failure signatures and perform hands-on troubleshooting at the system, board, and component level.
- Drive failure analysis to root cause—down to silicon, PCB, or external components—using structured, first-principles problem solving.
- Remotely diagnose failures in deployed systems using Linux command-line tools, system logs, telemetry, diagnostic utilities, and remote-access workflows.
- Analyze and document results clearly, and provide actionable recommendations to design and manufacturing teams.
- Interface across internal groups (ASIC, systems, and manufacturing) and with external vendors to resolve issues and close corrective actions.
- Participate in design reviews for next-generation systems, contributing recommendations spanning electrical design-for-test (DFT), mechanical, and thermal improvements.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
- 3-5+ years of experience in hardware bring-up, system integration, board/system debug, or failure analysis.
- Strong analytical, diagnostic, and problem-solving skills, grounded in first principles.
- Strong drive to self-educate and operate with autonomy in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
- Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes and standard electrical bench instrumentation.
- Scripting experience, preferably Python, for data analysis and automation.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technical findings into clear, concise insights.
Conditions
- Location: Sunnyvale, CA
- The base salary range for this position is $190,000 to $230,000 annually. Actual compensation may include bonus and equity, and will be determined based on factors such as experience, skills, and qualifications.
