安克创新Senior Failure Analysis Engineer – Mechanical

工作描述

Qualifications
Basic Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related technical discipline; Master's degree preferred.
* 8+ years of professional experience in mechanical, structural, materials, or product failure analysis, reliability engineering, product quality engineering, or a closely related field.
* Demonstrated ability to independently perform component-level failure analysis, identify complex root causes, and develop technically sound corrective action recommendations.
* Strong knowledge of mechanical and structural failure mechanisms, including fracture, fatigue, deformation, wear, material degradation, assembly/process-related defects, sealing failures, and tolerance-related issues.
* Hands-on experience with failure analysis and material characterization techniques such as SEM/EDS, metallography, mechanical property testing, non-destructive testing (NDT), dimensional inspection, and leak/sealing integrity testing.
* Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, mechanical interfaces, tolerance stack-up, material behavior, and their relationship to product reliability and failure mechanisms.
* Strong knowledge of structured root cause analysis methodologies, including 5 Whys, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Fishbone/Ishikawa analysis, and Design of Experiments (DOE).
* Experience developing 8D reports and managing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) through closure.
* Strong technical communication and documentation skills, including the ability to independently prepare detailed failure analysis reports in English.
* Ability to collaborate effectively with globally distributed engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience performing mechanical or materials failure analysis for consumer electronics, IoT devices, smart hardware, or other high-volume manufactured products.
* Experience developing or standardizing mechanical failure analysis methodologies, diagnostic standards, design guidelines, or failure-classification criteria.
* Experience building or maintaining failure case databases, engineering knowledge bases, or structured root-cause repositories.
* Experience applying AI, machine learning, knowledge systems, or AI-assisted diagnostic tools to engineering or failure analysis workflows.
* Demonstrated experience independently leading complex cross-functional failure investigations or engineering projects.
* Previous technical leadership, mentoring, or team leadership experience is a plus.

Global Collaboration:
This role works closely with engineering and quality teams across multiple regions, including teams based in China. Some flexibility for cross-time-zone collaboration is required, including approximately two evening virtual meetings per week, depending on business and project needs.
We strive to schedule cross-regional collaboration thoughtfully and provide reasonable flexibility around working hours when evening meetings are required.
