  • Strong expertise in analog and digital circuit design principles and hands-on PCBA troubleshooting.
  • Proven experience driving root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and ECO execution.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Diagnose and troubleshoot defective PCBAs using oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, and related lab equipment.
  • Conduct PCBA design analysis to understand circuit intent and failure modes.
  • Troubleshoot PCBA issues with limited or no design documentation using critical thinking and systematic debugging techniques.
  • Perform board-level failure analysis on analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits.
  • Support the development of board diagnosis, troubleshooting, and repair plans.
  • Contribute to root-cause analysis and corrective action implementation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support issue resolution.
  • Develop and maintain engineering documentation including test procedures and troubleshooting guides.
  • Engage with suppliers to train them on board troubleshooting and repair execution.
  • Communicate progress, findings, and risks clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
