Full Job Description

The Senior Failure Analysis Engineer is a highly hands-on role responsible for investigating customer-returned SSD products, identifying root causes, and driving issues through resolution. This person will serve as the primary technical interface between customers and internal teams, providing clear communication, timely updates, and detailed failure analysis findings. The role is expected to spend most of the time on hands-on debug and investigation while also supervising a small team of 1–3 failure analysis engineers.

Key Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end handling of customer-returned SSD products, including investigation, root cause analysis, documentation, customer communication, and issue closure.
Work directly with customers to gather failure symptoms, usage conditions, logs, and reproduction details needed to drive effective investigations.
Provide timely technical updates, clear communication, and formal failure analysis reports to customers throughout the investigation process.
Conduct hands-on electrical, firmware, system-level, and physical failure analysis on SSD products.
Debug and analyze failures involving NAND flash, controllers, DRAM, PCB, power circuitry, and interface-related issues in SSD products.
Drive structured root cause analysis using appropriate failure analysis and problem-solving methodologies.
Drive corrective actions with cross-functional engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams to prevent repeat issues.
Lead technical review meetings and customer-facing discussions for escalated failure analysis issues.
Track investigation progress, turnaround time, and closure of key failure analysis issues.
Maintain clear documentation, failure analysis records, and reporting that support issue resolution and knowledge sharing.
Supervise and provide technical guidance to a small team of 1–3 failure analysis engineers.

Success Measures

Success in this role will be measured by timely issue resolution, strong customer communication, effective root cause identification, and reduction of repeat failures.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Failure analysis turnaround time (TAT)
Root cause identification rate
Customer satisfaction metrics
Repeat failure reduction
Corrective action closure effectiveness
Field reliability improvement
Escalation response time

Role Details

This is a full-time onsite role Monday to Friday in Rancho Santa Margarita with no travel required. Compensation is expected to start at $150K+ depending on experience and internal alignment. This position is eligible for bonus.
